    So, you like accessories on your car?

     



    It's not my taste to hang a bunch of gee-gaws on a car, I more prefer good design, proportions, and symmetry on a deserving "canvas". But for those of you who do like a heavily accessorized car this one is a rolling model for early '50s "kitch". http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...=STRK:MEWAX:IT
    I've seen some that end up looking horrible, but for some reason this one is fairly well integrated, though heavily laden. The rocket hood ornament, the wings beside the original hood emblem, the big over riders, continental kit, spot lights, and on and on.............much to see here.

    For those less interested here's a single picture to wet your whistle.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Man, somebody really cleaned out the old parts and left-over doo-dad shelf to put that one together!!!! I still prefer shaved and smoothed on a shoebox--looks like he might have got a bit carried away on this one....

    Clean and simple is nice too! But I guess if your doing it up, it looks nice enough! I'm not one for chrome everywhere. Too much of a pain to keep clean!

    He's got just about everything on that except the "coon" tails.

    Lots of potential, though.
