Ricky Bobbys Rod Shop rat rod Frankenstein. I dig it. But it wasn't built by Garrett and Sons (name on the doors), it was made by RickyBobbyRodShop

Rory left a comment, but not his email, so I can't email him to thank him for the tip that this was built by RickyBobbyRodShop http://rickybobbysrodshop.com/ I like the glass in the roof, and the Cragar S/S hubcap as a cowl gas cap


Cool coil cover, no idea where they could find it. It sure breaks from the usual beer can trend












Terrific stop light, I wonder what it came from?

Well, a commentor cleared this mystery up, Tondeleo knew that "The STOP light is an old cop car light. It would be mounted on the front passenger side fender of the car, facing backwards at a 45 degree angle. As they would overtake the car they were pulling over, they would turn on the STOP sign."

I've also just recently seen them on the back of old school busses

For the other terrific hot rod from RickyBobby http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/01/ricky-bobbys-rod-shop.html

  3. Just because Paul Garrett has his business name in the side of his car doesn’t prove he’s claiming he built it. Rooter Rooter has their name on the side of their vehicles does that make them guilty of claiming they built it?

    Your blog is slanderish, never anywhere is it saying Paul Garrett is claiming he built the ride. He purchased a ride, Put his logo on the side, and took it to a car show. Where’s the proof that he’s telling everyone at the car show he built it?

    Just my thought.

    1. Maybe you're not his relative, or friend, but lets go for broke and postulate that you really aren't this fucking stupid - if Pepsi bought a can of coke, and then put the Pepsi label on it... what are they doing bringing it to the cola awards banquet?
      If Roto Rooter bought a Rescue Rooter truck, and slapped the Roto sign over the Rescue sign, then went job to job cleaning storm drains... would they be thought of as claiming the Roto work level was getting the job done?
      How about Chevy buys a Ford truck, and changes the badges, the displays it on the Chevy podium at the annual LA International Auto Show? Are they also not claiming they built it?
      Fuck Paul Garrett and all your horseshit.
      There, hows that for clearing the air.
      Putting your name on someone else's creation, when you're competing with him for business? That's white trash, lazy, wanna be, limp dick, sister kissing, dip spittin', sheep fucking retard level bullshit.
