Another look at the El Guapo, the paint has been upgraded in a unique way

Written By nyit on Saturday, February 26, 2011 | 4:47 PM

Looks cooler with the tank between the headlights too, and without the saw blades that used to top the airbags
The above switch is a real electric chair switch, from a Texas death chamber


I love the gauge pods, they are exhaust pipe!

Click on the above to see the flat black applied to emphasize the tattoo designs that are WW2 era simple birds, ships, etc


for the contrast to what it looked like with plain black paint, but pinstriped:

Dodge truck rat rod, with a footlocker for a trunk, and a standout special rear window ornament

Written By nyit on Tuesday, February 1, 2011 | 7:06 PM

I like the tires and rims, nice touch.

I don't know where they could have found this ornament, but it's superb

Looks just like the footlocker my dad brought back from his time in the army during the Vietnam war

Gerry cans and ammo cans, a new use for cool old military stuff


If you look close at the left hand can, at the top of the photo, you'll see the low pressure air fitting in the filler cap. It didn't work well the first time, but the builder was trying to use the gerry cans for air tanks for the air suspension... that's a good idea! The problem was the fitting, not the can.

the Streeet Sweeper made by Slim's Fabrication, this van does effin wheelies!



Advertising your work doesn't get much more permanent than welding onto the bumper... and it's how I could find more info on the builder... so it definitely works
