Fast Eddy, also known as Ed White, is a regular feature here at Elite Streets Magazine and for a good reason... he's damn good with a pencil! Ed leaves no stone unturned when it comes to custom auto concepts. The low down on Ed and how he got into his current profession can be traced back to when he was still in diapers. Little did his family realize, way back then, that Ed's desire to write on walls was more than just a phase that would follow him into his adult life. Now, Fast Eddy is one of the most well known custom auto rendering artists out there. So, who says doodling in class is a waste of time? Name any custom automotive magazine and there is a good chance that Ed's work has been featured in it and if his work hasn't it soon will be! In other words, Ed knows his stuff!
As always, we were impressed with Ed's latest artistic renderings and we encourage our readers to contact Ed and give him the thumbs up, otherwise Ed might forget to submit some of his work to ESM! Also, if you are in the middle of a project or just starting one, Ed can help you make your dreams a reality by laying it out on paper long before you start bustin' a few knuckles, just give him a ring at: 281.455.2883. Also, keep in mind that Ed can paint the real deal, too! If you want a wicked paint job on your ride, Ed can get the party started for you, provided you have enough greenbacks to cover his time spent. To catch a glimpse of more examples of Ed's work, go to www.fehrarules.com. Be sure to tell Ed that ESM sent ya! |

Ed ws looking out his window one day and he saw a car go by which spawned this design. With a hint of the Cadillacs of old Ed names this one the Series 68 because that's the number wheel design it is. The wheels are designed to look like a floating disk in a chrome hoop. The medallion in the middle "floats" as well. The car seats 5 with room for groceries and a lift gate in the rear, power is from a V-10, and lighting is all LED. All the lines are designed to be sweeping, and uninterrupted. |

This 1965 convertible GTO is built for entry level road course racing and
street use in the late 1990s. It has bigger rims, sway bars, boxed frame and suspension, a 450 hp 400, and a 4-speed tranny. The interior is done in grey wetsuit material and there is no top. The tonneau is fiberglass covered in the same material as the seats. |

This 1965 pro street GTO is a junk car, totally stripped and rebuilt with
fiberglass hood, fenders, doors, decklid, and bumpers. The glass is lexan and the front windshield goes from the roof to the back of the hood to angle it back a bit. The running gear comes from a re-thought pro-street Chevelle project. So it's a 454 tunnel ram, two fours, power glide, and Dana 60. The wheels are a custom cut (also '90s design) billets and the paint is from whatever was left over from earlier projects. |

This 1966 GTO (hmmm... I wonder if Ed likes GTOs?) has a running gear from a top fuel funny car that happens to be a KB with water passages. The hood, fenders, doors, and deck are glass. It has a full factory interior, all the lights, wipers, and turn signals work. hell this car even has a CD player in it! The exhaust is made up of 3" zoomies, 6-feet long that pass through a specially designed 4 in 4 out pair of "mufflers". This car is fully street legal (really?) with 6,000 horsies. Hmmm... a street car that can turn a best 1/4 time of 6:02 sec and can drive home in the rain while jammin' to Van Halen! |

In 1985, Ed was in an 11th grade art class and the teacher brought in a skeleton from the bio lab and instructed the class to draw something for Halloween using the skeleton. Ed obliged by doing a hot rod out of the skeleton and made an A+. Later, Ed submitted his skull hot rod in the Rodeo Art competition in Houston, Texas and it went from school to district, all the way to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo where it didn't even place. The hell you say? Well, the officials agreed that it was an awesome drawing, but it was a car drawing, not a rodeo drawing. Fast forward 21 years later and Ed decided to update his drawing. The skull is a little more evil, the engine is a little more potent (blown Hemi), and the wheels really mean business this time around. Grrrrrrrrrrrr... |
| Ed was contacted by a guy to be the lead designer for an up and coming new car company. Unfortunately, it all fell through when the "money guy" failed to produce. So, slowly, Ed has finished off the designs and is sending them to his magazine contacts... including yours truly! One of the cars that Ed designed is the feature at the top of this page which is called the Big Sur. The "BIG" comes from the fact the car was designed to be as big as a Dodge Ram 1500 and "SUR" which stands for Sport Utility Reconfigurable. This car is fully electric, has a full floating dash, uses drive by wire, has suicide doors, T-Tops that pop up or remove completely, and the rear glass opens like a trunk or can be removed. The wall behind the rear seats can also be moved or removed depending on whether you want a closed truck, open truck, SUV, van, or convertible. |
