Yes Sir, That's pretty cool. Nice job on the ol' Dodge! Looks like a great family cruiser! Better than an SUV any day.

Very cool Harry!

Thanks for sharing!

Your grand kids are cute and look like they were having a great time also!

Prior to my Father's passing he had a '29 Model A sedan. I really enjoyed showing it with my Dad at the local shows.

I always liked the gangster look about it!

Rat Rods are way cool and individual art works in themselves.

There are a lot of talented people out there building really creative things.

Thanks guys.

I have a lot of respect for folks that restore automobiles and preserve the rich history of them. But rat rodders are my favorites. They remind me a lot of you folks. It's pure creativity all the way and shows the real craftsman and artist.

A few more photos from the show.





I will have this grill.

Me, too Dave. I kept looking at that linkage and wondering if I was seeing a passing gear actuator, and if there was an automatic in the car, and then I saw the push button console. Tommy is an artiste, all right, even in the classic sense- his medium is well... everything.

I see these things, and I daydream about what Dave and I could cook up if we lived nearer each other. The fun of these cars is that you build from the bits and pieces you find, then tinker them together, free from the bounds of preserving something precious or historic, it becomes pure fun creativity. In other words, scratchbuilding.

I like that oil pan BBQ grill also!

Nothing like a little motor oil seasoning on your burgers!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Maybe that is where the named "Sliders" came from!!!!

:D :D :D

Here is the crew when it started. Not sure what I was looking at under the hood...:)

[waaytoomuchintothis]

That does it. I may have to go to Oklahoma and act like a newbie. Maybe they will let me scrape old gaskets off.

Great cars! I am glad to see he put the polyspherical Mopar motor in it! Too cool!

[dreinecke]

That is just too cool! I am a little disappointed though - all that rustification and he puts a modern Ford steering wheel in. I wanted an old wood rimmed one with a suicide knob on it.

Seriously - Uncle Tommy has a great ride.

[ourwayband]
