Dawn of an online series: OPEN ROADS
 

Hello everyone,
After a long, long Hiatus from my usual blogging and overall PeachParts presence, I am proud to announce the inauguration of our web series, hosted by TylerH860 and yours truly. We will operate from our youtube channel, producing little video "nuggets" and full 15-20minutes episodes. We have shot three episodes in three very different locations across the USA, and we have a LOT of amazing material we need to edit down into a watchable video in a month or two. Many surprises await!

Once again, it would have not been possible if it had not been for PeachParts. This community has brought an amazing bunch of people together, and has been a platform not only to share our automotive rants, but our life experiences. THANK YOU ALL!

Here are some snapshots of what we have shot so far...

Because the full episodes take so long in post-production, we are going to make a few short videos on a frequent basis, which we call "nuggets". Here is our first nugget, called "Don't Tailgate", starring Tyler and his grandma!

And then, the usual paraphernalia:
-Like us on Facebook...
-Our website is still under construction (www.openroads.tv)

It's been a massive time and money strain, but SO WORTHED so far! In all honesty, I would not be doing anything else. We hope to start pitching material to several TV stations so we can get a little more *ahem* budget to get to a professional level of production. Wish us luck and share Open Roads with your peers!

Best of luck with your collaboration, guys! I've been eagerly anticipating it! :)

And Tyler's grandma is a hoot! :D

Best of luck with it guys:).

Good luck guys, and I expect we will be seeing a fair number of Mercedes in the background...:D

Hey guys, if you need a "Long Haired Freaky Person" in your films, I'm available. :D

BRAVO!

Love it guys! Looking forward to seeing more videos!

Great job, guys! Superb editing and film quality too. Keep them coming!

"Sign"
 

Someone needs to tell you the 60's are OVER.


We LOST.:(


Signs - YouTube

And the sign said,
"Long-haired freaky people
Need not apply."
So I tucked my hair up under my hat
And I went in to ask him why.
He said, "You look like a fine upstandin' young man.
I think you'll do."
So I took off my hat and said, "Imagine that.
huh , me workin' for you."

Whoa, sign, sign.
Everywhere a sign.
Blockin' out the scen'ry.
Breakin' my mind.
Do this. Don't do that.
Can't you read the sign?

And the sign said,
"Anybody caught trespassin'
Will be shot on sight."
So I jumped on the fence and I yelled at the house,
"Hey! What gives you the right
To put up a fence to keep me out,
But to keep Mother Nature in?
If God was here, he'd tell you to your face,
'Man, you're some kind of sinner.'"

Sign, sign.
Everywhere a sign.
Blockin' out the scenery.
Breakin' my mind.
Do this. Don't do that.
Can't you read the sign?

Now, hey you, Mister, can't you read?
You got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat.
You can't even watch. No, you can't eat.
You ain't supposed to be here.
The sign said, "You've got to have a membership card
To get inside." Uh.

And the sign said, "Everybody welcome.
Come in. Kneel down and pray."
But when they passed around the plate at the end of it all,
I didn't have a penny to pay
So I got me a pen and a paper
And I made up my own little sign.
I said, "Thank you, Lord, for thinkin' 'bout me.
I'm alive and doin' fine."

Whoo! Sign, sign.
Everywhere a sign.
Blockin' out the scenery.
Breakin' my mind.
Do this. Don't do that.
Can't you read the sign?

Sign, sign.
Everywhere a sign.
Sign, sign.

I was a very young child in the 60's :D

About picture #1.


When we suggested you do a segment at a topless bar I don't think you understood what we were saying.


Picture #2.

Looking forward to this segment. "Apparel choices and instruction for the seriously fashion challenged"

Where is Tyler to comment? :confused:

I was going to say about that first picture, "It must have been a helluva party!"

:musicband Very Nice!!

I don't know about you guys, but I am loving all these amazing musical references!

Subscribed! Looking forward to seeing more. What did the old woman say there? Couldn't make it out

Which one is dressed like Harry Potter/Kurt from GLEE?

That reference went right over my head, but we have realized that we might accidentally brought in the alternative lifestyle demographic with some of our styling choices and behaviors. :D

I'm assuming you mean Miguel, who is standing to the right in the first picture.

I can confim your assumption. Yes, that's him.

He actually wears turtlenecks and that coat in real life.:D The vest I'm wearing along with the shirt belonged to my father. He really thought he was hot stuff on the slopes in the 80s.

Lol both are wearing vests but I'm thinking your vest is tan and you have shades on your head. The man on the far left looks to me like a wanabe Texan.

That is his work uniform.

Shocker Mountain?

This is an absolutely terrific idea.

If you need someone as an old fat bespectacled storekeeper with a cleft palate, I'll volunteer, as long as I get to wear my red sweater vest! :D

Is that what you look like in real life? I had an image in my mind that you looked like George C. Scott. :D

No, but I am a master of disguise, BWA HA HA HA HA HA!!!! :eek::eek::eek:

"Never tailgate again, nerd!"

You can expect Miguel to dress differently, he is originally from Castile, Spain. As a Castellano, he has a distinct type of cosmopolitan, European style which can still be seen there today :)

What a cool old volvo, Where was the third or so off road pic of the burgendy RangeRover shot at--looks like Colorado.

Land Rover Discovery ;)


Very cool Miguel! I've got the channel bookmarked :cool:

Yes, that's Colorado... pretty close to the actual town of South Park!

But... South Park is an area, not a town.;)

I was thinkin--There are parts of Spain that look just like it--and didn
t know.

Oh, boy... there goes another nugget for this week...

Open Roads Nugget #2: 1949 Chrysler New Yorker

http://i1088.photobucket.com/albums/...s/Chrysler.png

This one features Tyler's latest sale on "Bring a Trailer", as well as an animated intro and more music by the Surf Zombies!

WELL DONE, GUYS!!!

Love it guys! Keep up the good work, and looking forward to the next one.

Great job! I could have saved you the money on some 1950s picnic blankets if you had told me, I have lots of them in the closet, including 1950s moths!

Attached is a picture of me from work. As you can see, I don't look anything like George C. Scott

Do you guys do requests? Can you put something together with this? By coincident I was watching the video while song was playing ..pretty cool. R.L.Burnside - it's bad you know - YouTube

unless you are filming CLK man ..then use this song.. Charlie Daniels Uneasy Rider - YouTube

I'm going to do a film myself later this summer and I am going to try to get the Banjo Boy from this video to play my part in the film. Deliverance - Banjo Duel - YouTube :eek:

LOL! Perfect

Stay tuned. I contacted the original gang last night. :D

Unfortunately, getting commercial-grade music is a huge -and expensive- chore. We were lucky to stumble upon the Surf Zombies, a band of enormous talent from Iowa, to help us with the scoring. I personally had a heck of a great time jamming with the band leader!

I like! :)

Here is a little taste of the animated intro I am working on...

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KUTc5unJPO...600/Tucker.gif

...and yes, I drew the whole thing with the help of a miniature Tucker Torpedo on my table, for reference.
It took several hours, but I think it's quite darn worthed.

:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

I see it has the Romney Edition Dog Carrier option. ;)

Looks like your hood latch might be a little loose, guys . . .

Believe it or not, I drew that completely unaware of the Romney story... Tyler let me know afterwards. The dog's name is Dino, and it is a real animal, a somewhat cowardly, very affectionate golden labradoodle. He even has his own facebook profile!
