It was during that time--on four consecutive Sundays in 1970--that Richard Karl Koch visited Von Dutch in his Calabasas, California, home to photograph the father of modern pinstriping and soul of the hot rod movement for a cover story for the Los Angeles Times Sunday supplement, West magazine. Kochs candid and colorful photographs from those shoots, the vast majority published here for the first time, provide a window on Von Dutchs missing years. Here we see the enigmatic icon in his many guises, from cantankerous genius to freewheeling goof, machining handgun parts in his famous workshop\/bus, casually clowning with vehicles left at his home by his friend Steve McQueen (including the car Von Dutch built for McQueens 1969 film, The Reivers), and working at the pinstriping that sealed his fame.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccompanied by captions that bring to light further facets of this period of Von Dutchs life and career, these photographs illustrate a little-known and largely fascinating chapter of hot rod history. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003chr class=\"ProductSectionSeparator\"\u003e \u003ch3\u003eOther Details\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"ProductDetailsGrid\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003ePublisher Code:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003eSUNVODU\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003eISBN 10:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003e0760326266\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003eISBN 13:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003ePublished:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003e2007\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003e230x230mm\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003ePages:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003e127\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003eIllustrations:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003eSoft Bound, Colour ill\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003eBarcode:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003e9780760326268\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Motorbooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47627976114396,"sku":"9780760326268","price":150.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0814\/8297\/3404\/files\/b13270b_sundays_with_vondutch__65464.1339460464.1280.1280.jpg?v=1772088635","url":"https:\/\/automotobookshop.com.au\/products\/sundays-with-von-dutch-calabasas-1970","provider":"Automoto Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
