This is a new thing, never seen it before, and I love it. 1937 headlights on a fenderless hot rod
Great choice of radiator overflow catch can, perfect color match... I don't think I've seen betterWhat do you think? Ever seen 37 headlights on a fenderless? Like it?
this hot rod has great rake
Nice black stripe on the beltline, understated, but balances the look perfectly
Hinkle's Gold Rush
Terrific display, simple, direct, and sharp The stands bolted to the lugs bolts are superb, great way to let people view the bellypan
Dodge truck rat rod, with a footlocker for a trunk, and a standout special rear window ornament
I like the tires and rims, nice touch. I don't know where they could have found this ornament, but it's superb Looks just like the footlocker my dad brought back from his time in the army during the Vietnam war
Harley Freeman's '24 Dodge... barbwire, bullet casings and flash supressors
Con rod for a shifter, and a Speed King drum pedal .. right on. Plus, a Blastolene sticker Above, a speaker cover. I like it
Gerry cans and ammo cans, a new use for cool old military stuff
If you look close at the left hand can, at the top of the photo, you'll see the low pressure air fitting in the filler cap. It didn't work well the first time, but the builder was trying to use the gerry cans for air tanks for the air suspension... that's a good idea! The problem was the fitting, not the can.
the Streeet Sweeper made by Slim's Fabrication, this van does effin wheelies!
Advertising your work doesn't get much more permanent than welding onto the bumper... and it's how I could find more info on the builder... so it definitely works see some better shots on Slim's blog: http://slimsfab.blogspot.com/2010/08/streetsweeper-by-slimsfab.html
One cool hot rod
Not many hot rods go with the 413 Max Wedge induction, it's awesome looking long induction has to be the most far out I can think that any factory ever made That brass is great And you might not see them well, but the stanchions are huge pistons, or look like pistons, and make a great display
Mike Dingillo's riveted rat rod
I didn't get a good shot of the top of the trans, but you can see that "go" and "rev" have been lettered on, reminiscent of Van Dutch's stating the obvious humor... I dig it Great dash, love the riveted speedometer piece
Stone's Pig Garage rat rod, has some cool stuff to check out
Maybe a tractor grill, but I like it, and great placement of the headlightsNotice the horns on both sides of the firewall by the leading edge of the doors... cool. Great interior, I was instantly admiring the radio, the antique fire extinguisher, speaker grill by the shifer base and those terrific seats made from 1960's lawn chairs I admire any rat rod with a bottle opener and catch can Great
The Van-Go... cool, very cool, from the "Cars Not Culture" guru of Church magazine, Coby Gewertz

Ricky Bobby's Rod Shop
Great gauges, and I dig the coke bottle opener Good thinking in the chair design, I asked about them and Ricky tells me he picked them up at a yardsale for 5 bucks because they're cool and dated 1945. I dig the pinstriped tool box tooTheir website http://rickybobbysrodshop.com/
