the air filter housing on George's hot rod caught my attention, it's awesome! A Von Dutch flying eyeball
That sets it off, that is cool. The bit of chrome trim on the crest is a nice touch too
Nice ? ! ! Oh yeah, and he was a Bonneville with it when American Rodder magazine or Street Rodder, I can't recall which he said and we talked about both of them, did a photoshoot of it. Right there on the salt. That is awesome, hot rod legendary stuff, a photo feature of your hot rod, on the salt
An 8 track! I dig that, he still has a shag carpet too.
A Street Rod Nationals belt buckle from 1975, as the brake pedal... you've never thought of making your hot rod award a face for your pedals. I like that. Damn cool
Thanks George!

Paul Garrett didn't build this car, he bought it. Truth in advertising, if Garrett and Sons aren't honest about that, are you going to buy from them?
This is Frankentein built by Ricky Bobbys Rod Shop, you'll see it as the 11th hot rod in this list of hot rods that Ricky Bobbys Rod Shop built http://rickybobbysrodshop.com/rods
I talked to Ricky at he GNRS show when I was incredibly impressed with "One Night Stand" http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/01/ricky-bobbys-rod-shop.html and just emailed him
From Ricky's email to me today:.... I just what to be low key and have fun.....and hope one day that my car is that barn find that some young guy will find and be very proud of and aways wonder who in the hell built it.... and wish that the car could talk..... thats it no more ... your friend Ricky Brown
