Dennis has made a very unusual 1964 Volksrod - rat rod

Appears to be two tone horn on the near fender, and a klaxon or ooga on the far fender



Great multiuse wrench inside the spare
Never see tire pumps anymore


Flashlight and flyswatter... have you ever seen a car with a flyswatter?
Skeleton keys and a beer can opener
Cool floor panels and map holder


Nice luggage, but in the above you see on the right hand area in front of the round Blatz you'll see a rusted tin can... it's the communications microphone to the rear passengers on the rumble seat, it's connected with twine to another can 3 photographs below

Above: The turn signal
Below, the passenger tin can telephone, on the top is the hinge that allows the flap to be lifted so the passengers can talk into it

Looks like a 91 octane requirement notice
Fixes exhaust leak every time

Teri's Tattoo shop rat rod


It's so cool when the rat rods have rare cans for the radiator overflow or to house the ingnition coil

I like the military fuse panel, or maybe they are small knife switches, but it's a cool addition

Paul Garrett didn't build this car, he bought it. Truth in advertising, if Garrett and Sons aren't honest about that, are you going to buy from them?

This is Frankentein built by Ricky Bobbys Rod Shop, you'll see it as the 11th hot rod in this list of hot rods that Ricky Bobbys Rod Shop built http://rickybobbysrodshop.com/rods
What is it called when a guy buys a car, puts his business name across the sides, and brings it to shows?

I talked to Ricky at he GNRS show when I was incredibly impressed with "One Night Stand" http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/01/ricky-bobbys-rod-shop.html and just emailed him to verify because Rory was cool and pointed out that Garrett didn't build it. http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/04/garrett-and-sons-rod-shop-rat-rod-i-dig.html


From Ricky's email to me today:.... I just what to be low key and have fun.....and hope one day that my car is that barn find that some young guy will find and be very proud of and aways wonder who in the hell built it.... and wish that the car could talk..... thats it no more ... your friend Ricky Brown

The SG rat rod. They might consider calling it the Eye Magnet, it drew a constant big crowd





Yes, that fat bastard is leaning heavily on the car. I have no idea what makes anyone think they are welcome to do that.



I like the pistol holster, nice touch


No, I don't know why this is right hand drive
Cool steering wheel
