Back in the saddle

Back in the saddle again...

Pastor AC Williams has been hopping this summer. He pastors a church, drives a bus for Queen City ISD and details cars. Earlier this year Williams lost his shop to a fire but after a rebuild he is back in the saddle of detailing cars once again at 805 Murray Street in Atlanta. Photo by Raydeen Edwards

Is this not a beauty? The artist and builder Wayne Mathews won’t say, because in his mind it is far from finished.The wooded car is, however, a party-stopper.
Wayne Mathews is proud and pleased with his creation in this picture. But the windowless view will not do.Take it down the dirt road in front of his house and the engine just blows dirt and dust into one’s face.
Does Wayne Mathews’ wooden car have something of a Cybertruck appearance? It certainly is heavy indeed, Wayne said a moment after holding up its hood.
Here’s Wayne Mathews’ car factory in his yard around Bivins 2 and Leek Creek.In the background is the first wooden car he’s made.
Wayne Mathews may be from the little-known country community of Bivins 2 and Leek Creek, but he knows how to dress and look in this self-portrait he’s painted.

Wooden Car

Wayne Mathews doesn’t have his wooden car any longer. He had to sell it, but like the artist he is, he misses it. And so, he is building another … slow but certain.
