heres some pictures.
.

 

I like the blue coupe.
Got more pics?

 

couple more.
.
ill post up some more tomorrow.

 

I really dig the 33 Roadster,..... but, not a big fan of the front suspension,...

 

Its hard to make IFS look good on a fenderless car. Nice car otherwise though.

 

please tell me that is just a phrase you made up.. tell me someone didnt really add an axe to their car...

 

I hope it was an antique Fire Truck.

 

haha.........nope. axe in the front fender of the 'farmer truck' or whatever the hell he named it. the axe was on the drivers side fender. prob. because it would've looked silly on the p***enger side. pictures to follow.

 

I think there was one with an axe for a hood ornament too.

 

couple more.

 

ugh.

 

enjoy.

 

and it wasnt the 'farmer truck' it was the barncar. at least thats what the license plate said.

 

Damn, I generally keep my thoughts to myself. I believe to each there own, it's your money. There are No rules to build your car by but What the F--K?? If this is the future of our Old Cars and what's left out there to build there isn't much hope. I hope the next owner has a little more respect and the current Clown get's back on his John Deere and stays away from Vintage Tin.

agreed. i always say to each his own...but an axe?...really...

 

Was that Eric claptons shoebox in the first set of pictures?

 

He needs to replace that axe with a big floppy, neon purple *****.

Seriously...

 

An you thought rat rods were cool....axe rods, damn, what a great imagination. How about a cement block through the windshield, now that would be REAL COOL. Poor old coupe.

 

be nice he balanced it out nicely with the red-top optima, gl*** see-through fuel filter, velocity stack air filter and sbc

 

Well the rooster with trick axe in the fender is happy as his dumb junk tacked all over the car worked and made us all take pictures to "Look at my car". Were there dead mice in it too?

 

The blue coupe is from the same town i'm from his name is Jim Barnfield real nice guy my dad grew up with him. Last year his roadster got in the street rodder top 10 at the same show.

 

The buider needs the "axe". The car, not so much.

 

You guys from out West have no clue. It's obvious he must drive a Case New Holland, nobody with a John Deere would have such poor taste........

 

Oops, Your absolutely Correct. I actually own a John Deere and should have known that. Glad you corrected that.

 

I saw the blue coupe at Quincy, its really nice, a tad bit street roddish but its really well built and the fit/finish is outstanding

 

That mail truck was cool!!!

 

the nice cars heavily outweighed the ****py 'shock value' cars, but there were a few there. im not sure if the axe car had dead mice in it, but i think it had everything else. and that blue coupe was very nicely done.

 

Maybe, but they just have a taste for bad color. Come on green and yellow? Puke.

 

That blue coupe just happens to be mine,thank you.

 

the blue coupe with the scallops is also from where i live here in kewanee and is a real good guy. Great little car, i love seeing him running round town in it gives me alot of inspiration to get mine finished and on the road.
