The variety of cool stuff I saw at the LA Roadster show

funny looking eengine? It's upside down and backwards, and was an airplane engine

























































































































Airplane topping a piston and con rod... that is a great hood ornament!


I believe I saw the above car with the awesome color combo and scallops at the Grand National Roadster show
A viper powered woody? That's nuts, but if you've got a Viper engine laying around... use it!





I'm ending this post with a hot rod Nash... since that is a long way from ordinary, and so was the cool stuff I saw at the LA Roadster show
