there was no sign in the booth, no sponsor company information, not even a flyer to say who built this, or what they had named it
Space Junkie the original was at Gene Winfield's shop about 10 years ago, here's the gallery: https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/10/space-junkie-by-ian-roussel-was-at-gene.html it was even cooler

Nice to make your acquaintance! My compliments on your work! If you'd like to let me know what cars you've designed that have been built I'd love to get that info on the posts that feature those vehicles.
DeleteI think you will agree you've earned the credit, and deserve the mention when those cars are posted!
I've added a link to your Instagram, .com, and facebook page so people can check out your cool art!
thanks a ton!
