Customized a long time ago... 38 or 39 Ford






The more carbs, the better it looks

If there were bonus points for rare applications never seen before, this guy would beat all the competition. I think this long ram carb setup is from a Max Wedge 413, the only thing I've seen of this design. But putting it on a rod, and letting it all hang out? Now that's cool, unlike the factory's keeping stuff out of sight under a hood where I never get to see the cool stuff.

Santee has only one car show I know of. The annual rat rod show

In May or June, on the West end of town, in the Jack in the Box parking lot I think.

He's got the look, confident and cool, a hot rodder of talent and grit

Greaser alley at the Grand National Roadster show

It's got a Hudson emblem on the front, but I don't know.. it's a long way from where it started



6 wheel military tire hot rod, never seen one before, proabably never see another

Damn I'd love to see this moving

Cool rat rod at Goodguys






A new rat rod seating idea, I doubt it will catch on, but I like it





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 an ammeter?)












As club plaques go... this is better thought out and cooler

Test set, Bomb release..... that got my attention


The above International Harvester Metro is the only one I've seen, and it's a cool unique vehicle



The beer keg gas tank is cool, but the military can next to it is a cooler. (wit, I'm full of it)
