    1923 skull on wheels

     



    Here is my ride. Rat? well I guess you could say that, It does have paint. I featured this car last summer at a RAT FINK show and had it autographed by Trixie roth, spouse to the late and great Ed (big daddy) Roth, creator of the rat fink. She was present at the Huntington Indiana show in October.

    Very unique ride there. The skull is a cool idea. Where did you even have it made at? I like the teeth on the frame rails too !!!!!!!

    T-Bone

     



    I built this car myself. the teeth are made from a standard 2x4, I used a high speed drimmel and carved them in a row. Then air brushed them. The body (fiberglass), started with a standard T- body, and turned it into a skull, The eyes are made of lexan glass. I used tubeular steel, hand bent and welded together, such as a roll cage if you will, and used wire mesh neting and formed the profile. Used glass resin and cloth mating to finalize the mold. I built this car completely, from scratch in 9 months. I worked on it everyday after work and weekends. It is a real head turner going down the road. My friends that go to car shows with me on the weekends, always put me in front of the pack as we cruise to the show. They enjoy laughing there ass off by the looks on peoples faces as they pass by me. We laugh and joke about it at every show. Last year, a woman was looking at me as we passed, she was even rubber necking and found herself parked on the rear bumper of the guy in front of her. He slowed to turn, and well you get the point. My buddy didn't laugh, cause he got a flat tire from some debris.......
