Hot Rods Geo Poteet ..New Truck @ GNRS

Judging by the number of posts, It looks like iyhis truck is doing what groundbreaking rods should do... get people talking!
I'm gonna hold my judgement until I see it in person.

 

In a car show I would like to see this truck displayed right next to the Ala-Kart.

Think about the similarities of intent along with the differences.

Similarities:

Both are/were built to Wow a show crowd.

Both are over the top in detail changes and pure glitz.

Both are trucks.

Differences:

One is a slightly funky, in a late '60's early 70's "hippie rod" kind of way,* race car inspired Hotrod.
The other is a funky late '50's Hotrod inspired Custom car.

I wouldn't drive this truck, until those brake lines on the seat are installed and full of fluid, doh!


*Ya probably had to be there to understand why I get that feeling about it.
It was a time when I think they were called "buffalo wheels" were real popular.

 

Now that is a bad ass truck

 

holy hot topic,to much

 

Cool truck. Bad ass motor, although it has nothing to do with Indy...

On the bright side, he won't have to worry about his tailgate overheating

Isn't the truck really a Street Beast?

 

for Me is a beautiful work but is excessive, too much.

 

Less is more....

 

Anybody good enough with photoshop to color the louvers, hinges, stake pockets and rivets body color?

 

wow...... who pissed in your corn flakes????? dare to be different..... if everybody built the same shit over and over agin..... it would be a pretty boring ass world.......

 

When the work is this nice, who can fault it? I sure as hell can't.

This is more like jewerly or art.

I like jewerly & art.

Thats a nice looking banger, can't tell from the somewhat fuzzy pic if its based on an A block or a B block. I can't tell what brand the overhead conversion is either. Its got an A waterpump, no oil drain back tube, but can't see if it has provisions in the block for a fuel pump.

 

GAUDY !!!! i dont think he can buy his next trophy with that thing

 

something like this?

 

Just went and looked at the build slides, I see now that the engine is based on a Donovan banger block.
The truck has more bling than I care for, but it is one hell of a detailed build. Minus some of the louvering and polished accents that thing would be spot on.

 

I like the front of it, but the rear looks like someone PIMPED Mr. Poteet's ride!!!!

 

I think, "Just 'cause you can, don't mean you should!" applies here.

 

It should have been a roadster truck. Lots of coin in it & if it would have been a roadster it could have been in the running for the AMBR.

 

NITRO...WOW what a beautiful hotrod! thank's for posting. and NO i don't think it's ugly or over done. just because the engine is quite different doesn't mean shit! and did you notice how clean his shop is, or was that unconventional too?...POP.

 

I totally agree. That was a horrible choice in wheels, they suck beyond belief.

 

Looks way better to me.

 

Oh yea, I bet he doesn't drive it on the salt @ Bonneville next year for a push truck for his $$$treamliner.

Way too many "flashy bits". Kinda like a Rhinestone suit, works if you are onstage not so much in the McDonalds drive through.

Fabrication is over the top. Glad to see Stinger getting credit from some of the locals.

 

Looks like rivets are the new "It Girl" for street rodders. That thing is everything a truck shouldn't be. BUT people got work out of it in this economy so I have to say attaboy Mr. Poteet.

 

Too much of a good thing.

 

sure do

 

yes!!!

 

to each there own .... alot of things aren t my thing but the craftmanship is amazing. thanks for posting it.

 

What ever happened to "simple & elegant"?
