automotive: innovative

Some weedburner exhaust outlets would look great on any musclecar I believe.

Closetworld has invaded the camping world, and they are organizing the hell out of the hatch back and the camper truck

Not really Closetworld, but I doubt anyone takes me that seriously. I make a small joke here, but it's seriously amazing that organizing has gone this far.

What a cool custom, I've never seen anyone make a steering wheel out of a rim! Great key, and, have you ever seen a B&M shifter on a firewall?

Cool business card too.

Cool tailgate handles

Some cool rat rods, from the dedicated Tumbler... Rat Rods Rule!

Doesn't that make you smile?

Must be owned by a diver, or a really innovative customizer

What better way to show pedestrians where the bus stop is?

See a gallery of the above South carolina prison bus rat rod at John's: http://oleragtop.blogspot.com/2009/11/yeah-turkey-rod-run-is-coming-this.html

The above green car... looks like a new idea in rat rods, take a newer than 1960 vehicle and made a rat rod from it by getting rid of all the body work forward of the firewall. This one looks like a Buick, but I can't recall the model

I don't think I've ever seen a rod quite like this, unless you count the early dragsters from the 50's that were using a long wheel base chassis to set back the body for weight transfer to aid traction.

Wow. I think I posted a photo of this one before, I think it's a Seagrave roadster ... how cool are the various cans to the back of the gas tank?!

1910 Octo Auto by Reeves

Traversing Chicago streets, including those with ruts six inches deep, it brought "ease to the passenger and . . .length of life to the auto".

Its tires reportedly should last eight times as long as one might expect because eight wheels carried the load and eased the car in and out of road furrows caused by horse-drawn wagons. With 40-horsepower and a length exceeding 20 feet, this 4-passenger vehicle retailed for $3200.00. " quoted from: http://www.indianahistory.org/library/manuscripts/collection_guides/P0008.html

Customized to represent the owners belief that Chysler should build Barracudas again, I've read the problem at corporate is that since killing off Plymouth, Chrysler isn't sure about re-using Plymouth car names, as if we'd care about that.
