Here's a local one.

The first pic is looking up at the boards from the driver's seat. detail of the killer striping by Eyebone.

A few in my pic collection..

 

I've always liked this "Surf Woody" out of the Barris Custom Shops. I believe Dick Dean did most of the fabrication, and it was drawn up by Tom Daniel.
It doesn't have any "old car" body parts but has the open wheel stance of a hotrod in much the same way Roth's, (Joe Henning's?) Beatnik Bandit does.

There was also a bizarre "movie car" called the ZZR for a movie called "Out of Sight" and I think I saw it used in a cell phone commercial last year.

Hood ornament from mikes51 post with his car in the back...

 

One from the round-up

 

That 'burb is sweet!!!! Dig the color, grill and interior!

 

While not a "real" car yet... begging to see it get done!! (drew it up for a buddy, and he has since sold his parts pile due to financial issues)... someone please do this car!!
...and that Suburban is bad-ass.

 

I'm curious what bad stuff you've heard about it. I'd like to know more about
the car. I think I saw it referred to as the LB Tiki or soemthing to that effect.
What's the dish, DetroitBilt?

 

Right back atcha flying polock. Love your sketch. Dig the proportions of your concept. Tell me about the car. a I'm guessing a 27T, unchopped, heavily channeled, Z'd, etc. Maybe I'll have to build it. Righteous!

 

WHATEVER it was, it doesn't need to be rehashed.

Tiki Diablo here did work on the interior of that car. If anyone needs any info, I'm sure he can answer any questions.

 

Just read the whole thread on the cross country trip. That is too cool.
Makes me want to quit my job and drive my Suburban across country.

Goodman is the man. But let's not forget the guy who screwed the car together. Props all around. Great read!

Thanks for the heads up on the thread!

 

Yeah, you're prolly right, bro. So where is Tiki Diablo at?
Thanks.

 

Here are a couple of shots of my 58 Mercury Colony Park. It's currently off the road for a little body work. Add me to the list of Hambers who surf. I've been a C-st dawn patroller for over 10 years. What an awesome town this is to live in! I could be paddling out ten minutes from now. Summer is not good for waves around here unfortunately.

Danny's a top guy. Probably still workin' on the Mission Tiki Drive-In theatre though, so can be hard to get hold of sometimes.

 

Thanks Wayne, yeah been busy missing all the fun working on the Mission tiki. 8ft tall easter island heads in a garden. Well 99% of my work is actually fun to me. Here is what I have done lately there.

 

I'm here Slime, what's up? You can PM me if you'd like.

 

Love the moai Dan......cement over foam and mesh?

 

I dig this thread... I'm building a 69 C-10 longbed tikistyle. It's still in the planning stages, but I have the truck (good start!).

Awesome looking ride Kiwi Kev! You have any more pics to post?

 

Hi
Here are some photos of our 59 Chevy wagon, called The Headhunter, which is tiki style. I have put as many photos as I can on for you, it has been around for a few years now. Also have coming out in a few weeks a 62 Chevy Suburban which will be tiki style too, so will post some photos when finished!

 

Love your 59. Can't wait to see what you've done with the 62 burb.

 

Yeah looks real good....

 

TIKI-Rific thread! can't beleive all the cool cars out there. What a great way to seperate yourself from the mainstream. I hate the mainstream, that's where all the fish get hooked!

Wow! A tiki party on my 40th bday! To bad I'm 3000 miles away.

 

Saw this at the Towe last year in Sacramento. Could be a better picture, I know.

 

I have been thinking of driving to this event in my soon to be finished coupe. I am vending there and the organizer was goin to do a car show last year. Now a car show in the lot of the Mai Kai would be great!

The Mai Kai has got to be the BEST tiki bar in the whole world hands down! And I have been to a few of them.

So the trick is to get a convoy going out there the hit the HUNERT CAR PILEUP on the way back.

Sorry for the OT.

 

Here's another, There is a good one on the first page of the wagon thread.
