Art & Inspiration Differential Art?

I recently bought a 1954 Ford F-100 that had been sitting in an 84yo man's driveway for 10 years. As I was replacing the bed wood, I noticed this. Does anyone recognize the artwork? It looks like a dragon breathing fire and the tail actually goes onto the passenger side axle shaft.

 

Well now, that’s interesting isn’t it. It’ll be an exciting story to be sure.

 

I'd almost replace the rear cover, spray some flat clear on that one and hang it on the shop wall...

...

 

A bit modern. I remember AMF and Happy Face on drop outs like 9.3 Olds/Pontiac.

 

Interesting for sure. Hope you can ID the artist.

 

Coolest thing I've seen this week...... by far.

 

I remember seeing a peace symbol painted on the rear axle of a jacked up Falcon. HRP

 

The peeling might make if difficult to preserve as-is (I’m not a painter). But I’d try, and put it back on the rear end.
May not be “history” but dang cool.

 

It would be great to save, but clear might make it worse than it is. Can you ask the previous owner? Pretty Neat!

 

Previous owner didn't even know it was there and he had the truck for 10 years but rarely drove it.

 

That's a cool find! I had { Street is Neat } on the UFO IN THE 90's

Speaking of rear end art, A buddy of mine was a huge BB King fan so for his birthday his wife had a B tattooed on each butt cheek. When he got home she proudly dropped trau and bent over to show him his gift, he was pleased but confused. he said "that's nice but who the hell is BoB?

 

Bust out the…

Now that’s funny!

 

Back when I was in HS jacked up tri Five Chevys were big. I still remember one with a painted white rear end with a 2 inch or so gear oil stain running down from the fill plug. Don't remember anything else about the car or even the guy who owned it but that oil stain sticks in my mind over 50 years later.

 

How y'all like the Gathering at the Roc sticker?

 

I painted an eyeball on the diff cover of my Econoline... with glow in the dark paint

 

Very cool. I hope people keep posting their pumpkin art.

 

Maybe add your location to your profile and it might help someone with identifying the artist?

 

I am in the Tampa Florida area. Can't see the edit page for the profile.

 

Got it! Thanks.

 

Working on it, can't wait to hear it

 

Here's my 3D art: A QC bonded to a nine inch Ford housing.

 

I am planning on some art once I blow apart the chassis for paint, but that's a while down the road and I could change my mind. It needs the panhard rod completely redone before I think about paint.
The art I'd like to add (just the globe and ring). The rear is an Olds.

 

I’d put “9 Inch’s Plus Bitch’s”

 

The dragon reminds me of some Caballero skateboard art. Almost looks like it had lettering under it . I can dig it

 

A buddy took this one off a 50 Chevy he updated.
He put a chrome cover on it (to sell).
Hung it on his garage wall.
