Johnny Vegas made the most incredibly realistic looking faux patina on a 33 ford, with Cumberland paints, and they call it the Barn Find

the door jambs were still original paint, and it was in absolutely amazing condition, and a true barn find.

Johnny is pretty damn good at getting and selling barn finds, check out this 1941 Buick Estate Woodie, one of 16 known to exist... he found it and has sold it already, but it had been stored since 1958

here is a full gallery of it http://hispeedcustoms.com/IMAGES/CARS/1941%20Buick%20Woodie/index.htm

but go look through the other cars he has for sale http://hispeedcustoms.com/forsale.html and you'll find the stablemate 1933 Ford Woodie for 45 thousand doallars that Johnny also has among his many cars for sale in Tucson

Wallpaper woody

Term used to describe the fake plastic side trimmed cars of the 50's, 60's and 70's that were supposed to look like they were real woody cars, but failed miserably

Wavecrest is tomorrow, if you like Woodies, you'll want to get to this convention of the biggest meet of woodies west of the Mississippi

for coverage of Wavecrest to look at to see what a cool collection there is to look though ;  http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search/label/Wavecrest%202010

A good look at the bumper car made up like a Woodie

I posted a gallery of the whole collection of Tom Wright... all of them street legal and a sensation around the internet since 2009 http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/09/for-attention-like-nothing-else-at.html for the whole collection and http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/02/update-on-bumpercars.html for the information

Charger Steve's annual Pacifc beach car show on Garnet was another success

Diamond T, known for their tractor trucks (semi) but they once made roadsters, touring cars, pick ups and fuel tankers

The cowboy icon, Gene Autry

Variety of cool stuff I came across at the GNRS

Made me laugh

Really great look, I don't think I've seen a steering wheel like this before

before the Garmin, early primitive man had a MAP! This mounted clip board seems to be function and utility for a rally

great collection!

The shifter know instead of the normal handle is a cool touch, the white walled red rims with beauty rings are damn good looking too
