more cool and unique stuff I photographed at Viva Las Vegas

isn't it ironic that a license plate touting the "Colorful" nature of it's state, should be so drab?

the right rims, set the car off just right

I don't think I've seen artillery wheels on a truck before

Babys 47, not a typical hot rod

I found a real hot rod just hanging out on the street

Hot Rod Magazine did a full feature of the Mach 40, the Fuller "Thundertaker", and Ray Everham's Nascar Fury in this months issue

http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2012/11/ray-evernham-made-64-plymouth-belvedere.html for my gallery of the Fury

So check out the new issue on the magazine rack! Or even better, the website! http://www.hotrod.com/featuredvehicles/hrdp_1304_thoroughbred_1964_plymouth_belvedere/

This is one of the best issues in a while if you dig cool cars. 

Hot Rod features the Chisenhall '36 coupe... well, I scooped them finally. I posted it at the American Street Car Challenge/ Run to the Coast at Tustin

But get the new Hot Rod magazine for the story and photos they have. Me? I just take the photos, not the interviews. I didn't know that this car belongs to the family son of Vintage Air. 

Rickmann's daily driver Corvette, pinstriped and scalloped by Von Dutch

that is classy.

Because he was the photographer for Hot Rod Magazine, Rickmann worked with the best in the business. He was connected to everyone, and occasionally when the hot new part needed to be installed on something, well, the Corvette was available to fit the new intake, carbs, exhaust...

Notice the carbs sticking through the hood, side pipes... it got the coolest stuff added on. He didn't garage it, left the top down 365, and withing a couple years it was sold off. The new owner didn't have it long before a wiring short burnt it down. Blamed Rickmann for the shoddy wiring, backyard rigged work... but the car was a wreck and used up.

This month's Hot Rod Magazine has incredible high quality photos of a bubble top Fury, seriously far better than anything magazines normally do

that photographer deserves a raise!
