    I'll start with some from the hotel parking lot on Friday night. The National Ford Galaxy club was having a meet in conjunction with the Auto Fair so the place was full of them.

    Then things got back to normal.

    This was a solid car you could've driven home.

    I kinda liked this.

    But the interior was a little over the top.

    Is it just me or do you think maybe they're compensating for something?

    ;)

    Oh, and yeah, cool pics and thanks for sharing. Loved that little white roadster under the tent, the green shoebox with flames and ... wow, most of the others.

    :cool:

    Yea, I really liked that too. It's shame it was under there though, made photography difficult.

    That little roadster looks even better now that I get a better look at it in those additional shots. That grille is a nice change from what one usually sees on cars like that.

    That little white roadster is awesome. It's refreshing to see a different approach being used while not resorting to the 'rat rod" theme. Really hard to come up with a unique combination of parts after so many years of hot rodding.
    Anyone notice that the rat rods are starting to aquire a more finished look? It was bound to happen. You can only take "crap" so far and it's bound to reach a point that even the most jaded have to come to the conclusion "enough is enough".

    My wife and I liked it a lot. Wish we could've bought it.

    Did it sell?

    No, I'm sad to say it didn't. I don't know what some people are thinking when they look at a pile of parts throwed n the trunk of a "project" car for 2 or 3K when you can buyer a nice runner and drive it home for 5500 bucks. Oh well....

    Well, I can only speak for myself. In our case it was the complete lack of $5500 bucks!;)

    great pictures 2002

    yes the little white roadster is my ex, really like some of the stuff they did to it just not sure about the turtle deck.


    i hope he's abusing it like i did, i built it planning on trying to brake it, but it just kinda kept going except for the original roller 327 rip.

    if anyone knows the new owner i want to see it in a full drift, or at the dragstip, of in the dirt or..........

    Hey, Justin we liked the turtle deck thats why we put it on there. I know it covers up the quick change but the car is still under 12ft. long. It also balances the track nose and allowed a place to put the gas tank out of the cowl. Also cut the windsheild down and rolled the interior into the body line the car is now just a tad over 40 inches tall. Wish we had one of those Bonneville sun rises to take a few photos of the liitle roadster.
