gauges, very unique ones

The above is a great idea I've never seen before... brilliant! The Terraplane had this very unusual all in one Above: Wow, has to be a one off custom! Gorgeous, and terific use of space Via: http://zelastchancegaragedu78.blogspot.com/

Amusing stuff

Wow, how did this get past the beancounters who have to have it proved that the idea will make money? I love that, I wish I could give a bunch of these away to old hot rodders No way a woman would get talked into going for a ride on this and enjoy it That incredible madman, EJ Potter 120 HP Lycoming 6 cylinder aircraft engine1957 BMW Isetta bodyvia: http://zelastchancegaragedu78.blogspot.com/

Cool interior design pieces

I saw the two cars with the same gauges, and wonder why someone went to the trouble of outlining thier gauges in this odd fashion (top set)

There is a consistant wavy pattern to the way these numbers are outlined, and I didn't realize it wasn't factory until I came across the 2nd Merc and took photos of it's gauges for contrast These (below) are a little harder to see, as the windows to this car weren't open enough for me to get better photos

The coolest Demon I've seen... wow. Lots of perfectly executed subtle mods, like the mini tubs! The ghost stripes!

Look up.... at the sunglint in the photo just below the front of the car, it's in the shape of the Mopar Pentagram (which coincidentally is how Demons are conjured!) the young woman above is restoring a similar Duster great placement of gauges

I think the design shape of this steering wheels spokes is great

Evolution of a radiator cap design A Stude Commander with hood pins.. nice! Above: Purolator gadget that I forgot to ask about. This is the emblem for the Erskine. I have never seen one before! I can't read the small sticker above, but I think the word on the top line to the right side is "Aristocrat" The speedometer and odometer gauge are made by Stewart Warner Nice instrument set, simple

The above and below photos are nearly the same, and I like them for different reasons, in the below photo there is a great black and white photo under the glove box.
