If you look close at the left hand can, at the top of the photo, you'll see the low pressure air fitting in the filler cap. It didn't work well the first time, but the builder was trying to use the gerry cans for air tanks for the air suspension... that's a good idea! The problem was the fitting, not the can.

Maybe a tractor grill, but I like it, and great placement of the headlights


Notice the horns on both sides of the firewall by the leading edge of the doors... cool.



Great interior, I was instantly admiring the radio, the antique fire extinguisher, speaker grill by the shifer base and those terrific seats made from 1960's lawn chairs


I admire any rat rod with a bottle opener and catch can

Great spare tool catch all tray

Semaphore! Love it! Check out the Sammy's Hot Rods once you click for full size

Dig the lettering and striping on the brake light, and the safe driving sign... awesome

Damn, this ought to be framed art (minus the extra set of earplugs)

Check out all the bitchin tools, modified, improvised, and uses you never thought of for common stuff, but firefighters have found work really good for propping open doors, etc,

Don't know if you can make out the generator on the near side of the engine, but click on it for full size and check out the cooling scoops on it.
Completely digging the column mount... the huge wingnuts are sweet!
Not a vintage Stewart Warner speedometer, but I like it better than one that works, because who the hell needs to know just how fast you are going? You are getting a ticket or not.
Towards the bottom of the above photo are the two shifter levers, speed shifting made easy, the left one is reverse up, 1st gear down, then push it to the middle and slide your hand over to the right lever, and push it up for 2nd, down for 3rd. Easy, simple, very cool
Love the below fuel tank mount piece, the decorative piece below the cap, it's a theme carried throughout the car

I will need to ask, but it looks like the sides of the above brake light are turn signals... very cool innovation


I'm a sucker for an ammo can too
See it's build and more from Travis, at his blog http://perichbrothers.blogspot.com/
