Alaska painter blends art and engines into fame
Perry Cowles, a Wasilla custom painter and restorer, operates Vital Signs and The Chop Shop from a quiet Alaska shop. His work includes a 1968 Camaro, 1957 Chevy, and a 1962 Corvette, with an 85 dollar hourly rate including materials. Cowles has earned praise from peers and his automotive art has reached broader recognition through exhibitions and showpieces such as a gear-filled studio tour and a wall of restored bikes.
