interesting photos from Rods and Sods







the wagon wheels sorta throw me... there aren't any indications of an engine, or horse hookups, so is this mechaincal? Or just gravity drive?



Cool signature gimmick, the Moon Eyes




Lions and bears pulling this cart.. .. makes me wonder how those sheep are dealing with the team mates on the pull

best christmas tree ever?

Don Prudhomme's funny car hauler, 1967 Dodge C-700

Don was hooking up the batteries in order to turn on the radio...
So he could show some people how things worked inside, and then asked my girlfriend http://justakargal.blogspot.com/ to hop up inside and was showing her the radio, a/c and stuff...
To explain why Don bought a 67 truck in 69, I need to tell you that before Don bought it used, it was the hauler for Sox and Martin, and you can see that here: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/01/nikollas-digs-up-coolest-photos-of-drag.html

For a restoration story on the hauler, and a video from inside it where Don drove a couple reporters to lunch: http://www.nhra.com/blog/dragster-insider/page/10/ just a 1/4 of the way down the page, since the direct links don't work

If you love haulers and transporters, then look down to the 2nd half of my hauler posts: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search/label/hauler
