Paul Garrett didn't build this car, he bought it. Truth in advertising, if Garrett and Sons aren't honest about that, are you going to buy from them?

This is Frankentein built by Ricky Bobbys Rod Shop, you'll see it as the 11th hot rod in this list of hot rods that Ricky Bobbys Rod Shop built http://rickybobbysrodshop.com/rods

What is it called when a guy buys a car, puts his business name across the sides, and brings it to shows?

I talked to Ricky at he GNRS show when I was incredibly impressed with "One Night Stand" http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/01/ricky-bobbys-rod-shop.html and just emailed him to verify because Rory was cool and pointed out that Garrett didn't build it. http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/04/garrett-and-sons-rod-shop-rat-rod-i-dig.html

From Ricky's email to me today:.... I just what to be low key and have fun.....and hope one day that my car is that barn find that some young guy will find and be very proud of and aways wonder who in the hell built it.... and wish that the car could talk..... thats it no more ... your friend Ricky Brown

Ricky Bobby's Rod Shop

Great gauges, and I dig the coke bottle opener

Good thinking in the chair design, I asked about them and Ricky tells me he picked them up at a yardsale for 5 bucks because they're cool and dated 1945. I dig the pinstriped tool box too

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
