34 Gruel and Unusual Coupe


sKJlkjIksVB_oCYti-ojpbxozJxUsg0ggix33vS-ZRk.jpg

I like the fantastic 34 Gruel and unusual coupe. The vents in the roof and on the trunk are not simply a cool accent to this hot rod, but actually function as vents. I also like the brushed steel body rather than being painted. I like the chop top.

The use of the raw steel to make their own bucket seats with 4 point drag racing harness seat belts is a very badass way to have a safe  ride, which is needed due to the little red button you see in this picture. This is a nitrous oxide fuel injection.

I like the style of the inside panelling. The pattern is actually pressed into the sheet metal, which you see on the dash and partial door panel.

I like how they left the pressed pattern in several sections instead of jut one. This makes it into several sections, givign it more character.

Any car enthusiast would know by looking at this engine that it was built to go fast as hell.

My ride rolls low

Vintage car

 This hotrod is for all ages! Whether you are a kid just messing around or a man going through a mid-life crisis. It's red body color really compliments the gray bumper. This thing will draw chick to you like crazy. If you can truly appreciate this car, your life will be fulfilled.

2009 Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe Le Mans



Phat ass Shelby Cobra is an extremely fun car and very fast. It has 530 horsepower. Made by Shelby, it's almost or it IS 100% custom. From it's carbon fiber front splitter and rear diffuser to its 24 inch rims, this cars spectacularism will take your breath away.



This classic Daytona coupe was already an extremely liked car. With all these new features, it makes this car truly badass.



I like it's aerodynamic looks with a very large rear window, that almost has a sunroof effect following the contour of the body.

coffin car


this deadly cool ride is so unique. i have never seen a hot rod that had a coffin as the body of the car. In other words I think the designer of this hot rod might have had a death wish. the over all idea is real cool.

Radical rat rod

Tubular Rat Rod by Yannic
This radical rat rod is fast in my opinion it looks like a blast. Definitely built for speed. Its simple structure is a cool way not only to look bad-ass but act as a roll cage. just in case the car dishes out more than the driver can handle. Built by Yannic Sire [38], the guy from West LA. His idea was to put IndyCar look with rat rod. The 42-inch tall monster gets its first attention with a double-engine powertrain. It sits on the home-bent tubular chassis and runs one the BMW X5 20-inch wheels.  This rat rod has off-road truck steering wheel, Auto Meter gauges in the dash, 2 bucket seats and Turbo 400 transmission.

CEO Chevrolet Truck



I like how this classic Chevy truck just flows with all of its round edges. I also appreciate its simple blue paint job with chrome accents, for example, grill, rims and front bumper.




This vehicle includes the unique signature of vintage trucks with the port hole windows on the rear corners of the cab.


I like how they did a custom tailgate, cutting out the words instead of repainting them. This makes it look like a PHAT ass stencil.



Another treasure of this truck is its sleek, extremely useful toolbox, fit into the bed of the truck against the cab. It is hidden and barely noticeable from many angles.

Back seat adventures


The color scheme is very clever and totally fifties; a lot of pastels. I like that the flames and the base coat on the GMC and the Ford hot rod are opposite. On the big GMC truck, I like that the rounded edges bring character to the truck. And i Love how all the windows on the Ford hot rod have limo tint, which is a perfect opportunity for back seat adventures! This is an overall very classic look.

John Lenon's Rolls Royce




This is a very fun Rolls Royce. It is unique. No one takes a classic car and paints it wild like that. The Beatles, however, did and got away with it. It really shows how people enjoy uncommon items.



It was definitely designed with drugs in mind, LSD (Lucy in the sky with diamonds.)

The "Hot Rod"




I like its four shiny exhaust pipes that come out of each side where the engine compartment is. I like the air intake on this classic beast. It is very nice touch. The paint on this car is classic faded white to red flames. I would have done more realistic flames. I like the exposed tires. I like the simple grill.

Custom 1949 Studebaker Pickup

Chopped Studebaker Pickup Custom, 2011 GNRS, custom pickup, 1949 Studebaker

The extravagant and exaggerated features of this Studebaker pickup makes it a very unique custom truck.  I like the simple touches of red compliment the yellow base color.  The chrome grill/ front bumper close to the awkward shaped lights, really brings a lot a character to the vehicle.

I like how the red detail paint defines the body lines.  The sleek truck-bed cover and the chrome rear bumper really ties together the chrome rims and front bumper. To finish it off, the classic favored white wall tires.

Phat Ford Truck

 Hot Rod History

This classic Ford Hot Rod Pickup is a unique way for truckers to have a fast, wacky vehicle. This one has great contrast. The plum purple and white really compliment each other. The very simple wheels with the lowered chassis make the hot rod a very rare classic. I also like that they kept a lot of the stock parts on the body.

Horsepower Drawn Carriage

Unknown Hot Rod

I like that it is an extremely unique mode of transportation. I like their use of the engine and front end of a Pontiac GTO. I like how it has an overall fun and free-spirited theme. It is great for all you traveling musicians!

1950 Peterbilt

I like how it looks like it is a chopped cab of an old semi put onto a custom hot rod chassis. I do not like how it is a flat grey, it looks like an unfinished paint job, and they should have done more painting. I also like the simple classic chrome rims.

Hot rod semi Sneaky Pete

I do like, however, that they did a large external chromed gas tank. They have a short simple exhaust that comes straight out the back between the rear tires. I think that it would have looked fine with the exhaust coming out of the open engine compartment, where the exhaust is contiguous to the hot rod.






1936 IH truck body with Coronet tailfins




I like the extremely uncommon addition of the tailfins when replacing the truck bed. This makes it a very unique rat rod. I, myself, have never seen this combination of grubby classic car with class and hotrod truck. I really like how they used the natural rusted look, but kept the faded red, but now pinkish body line. I think that this is such a rare hot rod that there is nothing wrong with it. The designer and builder did an amazing job. It is an all-around fantastic combination of rat rod and classic car.

Rocket Rod (1927 Ford Model T Rat Rod)

1927 Ford Model T Rat Rod Looks More Hot Rod Than Rat Rod

I like the sleek unique body lines. The pinstripe between the burnt orange and matte black is white and gives it a good defined look and prevents the colors from blending. I like the partial front fender and the good ground clearance. I like that the back is higher then the front, giving it a tilted forward look. I also like how the exhaust resembles a rocket. I dislike how they used the large newer style rims with the small tires to give it a street racing look. I feel they should have instead used the classic rims (smaller in the back and larger in the front with the thick tires).

This hotrod's gone postal!!!





I like that they used an old postal Jeep body for the skeleton of their hotrod.  It is not very common and would stand out in traffic.  I like the creative use of the mailbox and that they kept the old sliding postal doors.  I don't like their make-shit exhaust. They should have bought an aftermarket exhaust. They also should have cleaned up the engine compartment.




I like how the Jeep truck bed was added. I do not like how they kept the high profile cab. I think they should have chopped it off and left it with an open roof. I also do not like how they kept the full length cab with the added bed. They should have removed the second half of the cab so it looked more like a pickup.




Herb Samuel's 1923 T-Bucket Roadster


 I like the good use in contrast as far as the chrome to purple in the engine as opposed to most all chrome engines. I also like the not so common vertical steering column. I think, however, they should have stuck with the typical low windshield.  I like the simple roll bar in the back and how he used normal stock rims instead of getting aftermarket ones and drawing attention away from the car. I think that the exhaust would have looked better if he had the four exhaust pipes on each side instead of having them funnel into one.
