Taking kustom in a new direction... it's sorta 60's car show scene over the top, but primer and unconventional mods

One of my favorite instrument clusters, the other is also a Plymouth: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeYksOhzX4IFmdHYQqf8ehZVMYthJFO1_Z1eVyauMVOiNrkQsYCupskz-ZV6di7yHIoDEhuL3yXrGIgK5gvUjbxiY9tx76e_EWg0swK7wy-TTjiEK2vtgyWWGonk5_Nph1pc_v9rjSgD-x/s1600/DSCN3685.JPG

breaking the paradigm of what a hot rod dash looks like

Cool steering wheel (it says Studebaker on the center button), cool shifter knob, nice grill under the gauges... this is a well thought out and finished look!

What a cool custom, I've never seen anyone make a steering wheel out of a rim! Great key, and, have you ever seen a B&M shifter on a firewall?

Cool business card too.
























Cool tailgate handles

Some cool rat rods, from the dedicated Tumbler... Rat Rods Rule!

Doesn't that make you smile?


Must be owned by a diver, or a really innovative customizer



What better way to show pedestrians where the bus stop is?
See a gallery of the above South carolina prison bus rat rod at John's: http://oleragtop.blogspot.com/2009/11/yeah-turkey-rod-run-is-coming-this.html


The above green car... looks like a new idea in rat rods, take a newer than 1960 vehicle and made a rat rod from it by getting rid of all the body work forward of the firewall. This one looks like a Buick, but I can't recall the model

I don't think I've ever seen a rod quite like this, unless you count the early dragsters from the 50's that were using a long wheel base chassis to set back the body for weight transfer to aid traction.


Wow. I think I posted a photo of this one before, I think it's a Seagrave roadster ... how cool are the various cans to the back of the gas tank?!

A second look at the So Cal Suspension rat rod

Nice touch to put a glkass pack muffler on the exhaust

How cool is the shifter handle? A 3 foot long 1/2 inch drive socket wrench extension with any socket they like for a handle

The above knife switch, I can't remember asking if it were for lighting or battery power to ignition



great trunk lid handle

fantastic "made" fire pits at El Mirage... awesome recycle use of old clothes washers

I have to give more credit to the above, for using a car rim to give it height, and for attaching handles
