Stone's Pig Garage rat rod, has some cool stuff to check out

Maybe a tractor grill, but I like it, and great placement of the headlights

Notice the horns on both sides of the firewall by the leading edge of the doors... cool.

Great interior, I was instantly admiring the radio, the antique fire extinguisher, speaker grill by the shifer base and those terrific seats made from 1960's lawn chairs

I admire any rat rod with a bottle opener and catch can

Great spare tool catch all tray

Semaphore! Love it! Check out the Sammy's Hot Rods once you click for full size

Dig the lettering and striping on the brake light, and the safe driving sign... awesome

"A Touch to Much" tribute truck to AC/DC... with working Marshall amp and smoke machine, and amazing airbrushed panels

Original designs include:
•A Sonor drum pedal for the accelerator
•Ahead drum sticks for turn signal and Tilt actuators
•Paiste cymbal for switch plate
•Roc N Soc drum thrones for seats
•Shure microphone head for shifter knob
•Coffin mic case for shifter console
•Gibson guitar knobs for door openers

The above airbrushed piece amazes me that is so perfectly recreates a cutting torch burning through the door panel from the inside

The key fob guitar pick, small detail, great idea
