I didn't realize until I downloaded my photos that I had practically ignored all the super slick (and finished) high-buck cars and shot mostly those cars (I use that term loosely) that blew my creative skirt one way or the other. Every one of these sometimes funky looking vehicles was surrounded by some really nicely done rods and customs but all of that perfection created a sea of sameness punctuated by mostly crude little creations some of which I've pictured here.


Your basic weird woody
Wierd from any view
Just chuggin' along. It's hard to see, but it has a great phoney patina'ed finish
Chopping one of these suckers and getting it right ain't easy
Little UK econobox (Cortina?) with great big US V8 and blower with lawn roller tires
Nothin' special but lots of fun details like the canteen for the radiator expansion tank
I should know where this came from, but don't. Sorry.
How's this for a fun detail?

It probably cost as much as my house, but it's sure pretty.
Subdued, not particular exotic rig-rod....
...with a decidedly rat-like interior
And this is why you don't keep the beer fridge in the workshop
"...well, try trimming a little more on this side, maybe it'll even up...no, cut some that side."
This is where the radiator hides. Behind the spider web. Check out the bumper.
The nice thing about rat rods is the less craftsmanship the better. Note the brazing.
Just in case you were wondering what kind of spider made the web over the radiator.
We think this is the front door. Not sure. It's stitched leather!
Snap-On finally made something I can afford.
This is why you don't leave the LSD out where gramps can get a hold of it.
I've wanted to do this with a four-door: remove the rear door and move everything forward.
