Here is a really slick custom bumper on the back of a rat rod. It looked simple to make, easy to fit, and just looked right. I'm not sure what it would protect you from, but I guess that can be overlooked for the increased style points.
Looking at the same rat, here is the header blockoff plate. It appears to be the front diff cover from an old rear end. Sweet.
Here is a twenty-two inch rim off a fully custom Chevy half-ton truck. I would think you would need to wear chainmail gloves when taking them on and off to avoid loosing a finger in the spiky teeth in the middle.
Look for more later pics later.
Also, check out the Google calender above. Many of the events for the summer season are now listed. Just scroll ahead to the month you desire to chekc out.
