cool rat rods at El Cajon's season opener car cruise, the Frankenstein from Rickybobbyrodshop, and a former British Taxi

this one is from http://www.socal-suspension.com/ a local El Cajon busniess, and the saw blades on the front airbags are a cool touch

Here's the image of what it started life as... and for a good article on London Taxis showing up at car shows: http://www.classicaldrives.com/50226711/londons_iconic_taxicabs_spotted_in_classic_car_shows.php

The shifter is particularly cool, looks like a 3 or 4 foot long socket wrench extension with a 1 1/2" short impact socket. That is somethign I don't remember seeing used as a shifter in a rat rod or custom before... my compliments!

It's probably never going to happen again that 2 Kaiser Darrin cars are sitting side by side. Probably hasn't happened since the last Darrin left the dealership lot.

It's got a Hudson emblem on the front, but I don't know.. it's a long way from where it started

The Gas Monkey Garage rat rod... nice overall, and bitching tailpanel
