Mexican Blackbird, a t-bird that finally got a good custom paintjob!



I didn't see, that this is owned by ZZ top guitarist and hot rod driving force Billy Gibbons. I mean that Billy funded a lot of customs being built and they way that they look, the work that inspired many enthusiasts. Cadzilla, Eliminator, the pair of motorcycles, the album cover art of the ZZ Top albums in the late 80's.. .. wow
For a good post about this car, with a video of it rolling on a side street: http://chrismejia.tumblr.com/tagged/Billy_F_Gibbons

Platinum Bomb, my chioce for best theme and display and detail, yup 3 awards




wow, double roller chain for steering, that had to solve some clearance problems!

Blows my mind, the shifter handle, the punched holes, the switches, the instruments alone are stunning, the steering yoke is phenomenal... what a great dash!







For a look at the best at the show, that the HAMB have selected as the top 10 roadsters: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=441297
