Redbone Has Graduated / The Official Dark Side Build Thead

The Redbone Roadster

What Redbone Means:

The word REDBONE is a Cajun term for a person of mixed-race, which the REDBONE BAND adopted to signify their mixed ancestry...The combined ethnic groups include Native American, African and European so these people are unique because they are the culmination of many cultures...Since my car is also made up of mixed origins, Truly A Louisiana Gumbo, it is only fitting that it be given this name since it is neither Ford nor Chevy nor Shelby, but something totally different and unique.

REDBONE / The Band:
The Vasquez-Vegas brothers were of Yaqui, Shoshone, and Mexican heritage...They began by performing and recording surf music as the Vegas Brothers, later as the Crazy Cajun Cakewalk Band, where they performed throughout the 1960s at venues on the Las Vegas Strip...In addition, the band often alluded to Cajun and New Orleans culture in their lyrics and performing style.
