About Me

my name is Dan Collins, I build Hotrods, I also own and tattoo out of Victory Studios-Electric Tattoo in Studio City. I have been workin on hotrods for over 17 years. You can see some of my cars in various magazines such as Rod & Custom and Classic Truck. My '38 Ford truck, "Limelight" and my newest creation, a '27 Chevy modified roadster called "The Singapore Sling" just showed at the Grand National Roadster Show, taking home a couple of awards. The roadster was just shot for the cover of Rod & Custom magazine, and will be out on newstands in a couple of months. I also just finished the artwork for the 2008 Primer Nationals, and the cover of the next issue of DicE Magazine.
