Another rusty rat rod from the 815

Well it was for a while, anyway....



... until Drew banged on it with his magic glam rock hammer for a couple of days.

So say hello to Ziggy Stardust:









Big props also to Gordy Cushman for engine work and Dave Martinez for upholstery, and all of you Spiders from Mars who helped along the way. See you stinkers in Detroit!

 

HOT DAMN!! I can't wait!

 

Oh man, that thing is awesome!! The color combo is perfect. Inside, out, front to back, that thing ROCKS!

 

Nailed it!!! We need more pics. Lots of them. There are lots of details I want to see. I'll bet this winds up on the TJJ.

 

That looks great Mike!

 

Schweet. Where is the YouTube burnout video?

 

my fisheyes hurt...

Finally you post some pics! Looks great!

 

Mike....you're sooo dreamy so is your ride. You couldn't of had a more talented bunch of chimps help you out.
Those guys all rule.
Call me before Detroit.

 

Bitchen.....Love it!!

 

was checking it out over the weekend----the only problem i found is that i dont own it----------ONE SWEET RIDE!!!!!

 

Craigers - are you going? Let's figure out a plan...

To anybody who claims you can't polish a turd, I offer this as defense exhibit A. The craftsmanship that Drew put into the car is flat out insane, and demonstrates why he's the best unknown car builder on earth. The Meteors work like clockwork jewels thanks to Gordy and his boys, and Dave's stitchwork was the cherry on top. Not to mention the many others who contributed... Jerry "Flakemaster" Didio, Kerry Hopperstad, Nick and Gary at Gordy's shop, Mike Clark and Andy at Drew's shop, racefab, wingnutz, nummnuts, Dave "Shifts" Lamb, Dave Adkins, Randy from the Emperors, Uncle Scooby, Chet Zenor, and the late great Charlie Laing, and others I temporarily am forgetting because the blood leaves my head when I look at the car.

To use an old cliche, the pictures don't do it justice. It'll bake your retinas at 3 yards.

 

Awsome Mike, Can't wait to see it on Thursday.

Didja get my voice mail about the door handles from Mark?

BB

 

Bob - yeah, I will call Kerry today... see you in Detroit

 

I've been waiting to see this one done!! Very cool!
Clark

 

Man I can't wait to see it in DEROIT!

 

Mike...yeah I'll be out Fri afternoon. I agree, we need a master plan..

 

Looks Great--is it going to be in Austin at the end of the month??

 

That's the plan...

 

Fanfuckingtastic! Congrats to all you guys.

I heart the Drew..... this one will put him over the top for sure.

 

stunning!

 

Killer!

 

I think this is the only thread I need to look at this morning.........great job man.
