the air filter housing on George's hot rod caught my attention, it's awesome! A Von Dutch flying eyeball

That sets it off, that is cool. The bit of chrome trim on the crest is a nice touch too

Nice ? ! ! Oh yeah, and he was a Bonneville with it when American Rodder magazine or Street Rodder, I can't recall which he said and we talked about both of them, did a photoshoot of it. Right there on the salt. That is awesome, hot rod legendary stuff, a photo feature of your hot rod, on the salt



An 8 track! I dig that, he still has a shag carpet too.

A Street Rod Nationals belt buckle from 1975, as the brake pedal... you've never thought of making your hot rod award a face for your pedals. I like that. Damn cool
Thanks George!

What was on El Mirage surprised me, and I can't even begin to guess where they found a Fageol Twin Coach straight 6 to put in this streamliner

If anyone has info (I didn't think to learn about it while taking photos) please let me know at jbohjkl@yahoo.com

Prices were up again at the vendor at El Mirage, most stuff goes up 50 cents every year. 10 years from now expect double the current cost

El Mirage attracts some cool unusual hot rods, If anyone has info on this one, let me know more about it
