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
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
first car show of the year, the Vista Frosty burger run
pretty cool 3rd tailight Above a deluxe, below a super deluxe Made from spare parts from the back yard when the city started getting on the owners case to clear out the neglected cars
Some of the most unusual photos show up on Tumblr sites... but it takes a lot of browsing

Well I was too busy to do the homework, but the photo was such a hit that Brian at Bangshift.com delved into the history books to see what was going on http://www.bangshift.com/blog/Photo-of-the-Day-A-1957-Ford-Truck-In-Flight-Over-an-Elephant.html
The coolest thing you'll see today, the Welder Up rat rod burning up the tires doing donuts

Cool stuff that caught my eye at the Primer nats
Yup, cool, and caught my eye. She wasn't posing either Awesome shirt! A skull for a speed knob... right on! The outboard gauges set off the cluster really well, and the cluster looks great because it looks like they took an original model T or A piece and used it for the trio of gauges instead of keeping the original things (can't recall what all was in one, a switch, a cylinder speedometer, and
This grill gets it.... the Hudson Terraplane hood ornament is not easy on the eyes... so this one has a Plymouth piece instead, and looks awesome
Tied for best looking design for instrument gauge cluster... with a single pod unit in the 1946 Nash https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7FdFCaVSXG7y6-e1IPYc1EJhNhAkYEzxF6hjxccQXF9rTc3bnaLHqrx6Ge727KBZAIREAPpVn1cLPi9oHmBZZYyPLA0G6s0OH9P0TDajrNJgB99peMIdwNOZBiwHWlHqaNtIiQo-Ikk85/s1600/DSCN7564.jpg and another Plymouth instrument cluster https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi51HNoKLi01qDcUPxk7QeyyZ6hsUH5a3PB_g2ZlGv9p5xbkf0wuDjAq8JYmJcz_XhDxNv9IWlMlXo8S7VCtMTskMnfMb8DJvgHhc1DU7Pek6DmnSwYMZKZJxIsQJHwUzwCBw6R_vjDypYO/s1600/DSCN3782.JPG
This is a cool little van thing, I don't remember if I've seen a name for it, but the bottle opener is a cool touch
Thanks to JohnDandy and Asterics for recognizing it as a Tempo Matador! I should have remembered it, but my memory is so bad, you are looking at it, if I need to recall something I look in this blog for it. Ain't that ridiculous?http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/08/its-so-fun-finding-unusual-and.html from http://groundspeed.blogspot.com/
