the first cover car from Rod and Custom has been found... it was tucked away for decades in a barn, now it's been restored to glory, and repainted - by Gene Winfield

Black transfer tubes circulate water from heads to block, to save the weight of a radiator for quarter-mile racing.

Gene Winfield fabricated these very tubes in the 1940s. After Winfield painted the car in 2015, he said he had the original tubes hanging on the wall of his shop. Two weeks after the car was painted, "a big box showed up from Gene," Arnette said, "and there were those tubes, from 1953. Gene had kept them all these years and sent them to me."

Lew Thompson signed and gave Eric Arnette this Binks paint gun, which he used to paint his '32 in 1952. Incredibly, Thompson had not used the paint gun since that spray job, and dried green paint remained in the gun.

2013 LA Roadster show

interesting good looking hood stripes, placing them in line with the headers was a great choice

above, called the Ugly Duckling

something about the grill to radiator surround looked odd and cool to me

interesting reflection similar to a flamejob from the side louvers

Best looking '38 I've seen

Above, and why? No idea. To each their own I suppose

not often you see a Greenbriar (Corvair van)

and the show wasn't strickly Ford and Chevy, above a Desoto, below a Plymouth

cool tailights

just liking the license plate

with the side cowls, but not the top.. looks good, probably better aerodynamics and not very hampering to cooling

this beaut was at Viva Las Vegas as well, here are a couple more shots: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2013/04/my-award-for-most-stunning-paint-at.html

two tone cars were good looking, it's a shame that chrome side molding and multi colored cars is so rare now from the factories

flames may not make them hot rods, but it makes them cooler. Here is a big variety of styles and colors in case you are thinking about choosing a style
