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.

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.

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

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.
