    This is a shot of an air cleaner lid that has some unique hand painted designs, the entire machine is pinstriped in the traditional way, but for some reason these lids seem to be trying to tell me a story.....what do you read? I see the Christian fish symbol, and wishbone with the letters JC? Jesus Christ? several other symbols...any thoughts? IMG_6717.PNG

    Seth you need to write a book.
    Looks similar to the writing found on the saucer part found in Roswell.

    I see I'm not the only one in this crowd. My first reaction was: If your car is trying to tell you stories, it MAY be time to pass that spliff.

    In the early '60s anyone remotely interested in cars tried striping something.

    Cripes, you guys are a bad influence on me:rolleyes:
    Reminds me of something I heard some older dudes saying back in my high school days.
    Maybe you OZ guys know what he meant when someone asked him what he had planned for Friday night. He responded I'm gonna go out and find some "ute".
    Is this what he meant?

    That looks like a Triumph. First line should read "you shall put it the oil in to the beast, and as the week passeth, thou shalt find this oil on thy garage floor."

    The left image looks to be hair stuff, possibly Jerry Curl (JC), then the comb, then a slug, then,....

    ..well, treat it like a Rorschach.
