When it comes to building a hot rod, there are as many ways to go as there are personalities. Some dig rat rods, rusty and hard core. Others go for a full resto’ job. And then still others like them covered with wild paint jobs and lots of chrome.

Billet Specialties makes just about everything you need to dress up your hot rod and make it look great, whether you’re looking for a daily driver or show winner, from wheels to full-engine pulley kits to hood hinges, the company has hundreds, if not thousands, of fine products to make your ‘rod look screamin’ hot!

Rod Authority also found something you may not know about from Billet Specialties. Fine art prints available through the company that will fit right in with your hot rod lifestyle. 

One such piece of art is titled “Club 32.” The massive 5- by 6-foot original painting that the prints are pulled from was commissioned by Billet Specialties and created by artist Eric Herrmann over a five-month period. The ’32 Ford “Deuce” depicted was built by Roy Brizio, and Billet Specialties left the creation of the artwork up to Herrmann.

The artist went a step further with his vision. “Most of the hot rod art I’ve seen uses the setting of an old gas station or 50’s drive inn,” stated Herrmann.

“This street rod, sporting 600 horsepower was so bad ass I wanted to put it in a setting that would do it justice.” Hermmann chose, “a seedy street scene, where you could pull up on your bike or this 32’, but if you showed up in an Escalade, it would get jacked.”

As with most of Hermmann’s art, it’s the hidden details that tell the story. A woman at the door entry with a double barrel shotgun from the speak easy window, One Hundred dollar bills at her feet, hidden mice, and a 1959 Panhead, are among other subtle details that make for an interesting evening at “Club 32”.
