I get a big kick out of precision machinery

terrific machine turned dashboards on these Duesenbergs, here's a variety

 

the Shanty II, built of engine turned metal, in 1958, and never raced... seems like no one noticed that it needed some outlier sponsons to enable it to turn, and corner, because this designs just rolls over in the corners

polished metal is cool looking especially on curved surfaces, or in the geometric designs of flat surfaces machine turned

coffee and donuts machinist video... casting a big propeller and machining it to specs

not much has changed in 80 years about making a propeller,

the Bob Nowicke Special, offy powered

the small lines dragged off the tail end off the number, nice touch!

Some pretty Cadillacs at the Greystone Mansion Concours

 sorry this one is fuzzy, not easy to see a postage stamp sized image in the sunlight

 Machine turned dash, and cool gauges. Sweet

 So way up above on the old Caddy is a Fleetwood tag, here's a model tag and since I've never seen one before, I took this photo. Biarritz is a town on the Bay of Biscay in south France.

the Cadillac Eldorado is the longest running model in American personal luxury cars, 1953 to 2002. The Biarritz was the convertible version of the Eldorado Seville hardtop

Bugatti under restoration, and down to the frame... it's still a thing of beauty

 Even the rims were marked. I sure don't know what this represents, if it's the vin, the size, or part number, but I find it interesting because I think it's one of those

Von Dutch work you may not have seen

 According to the book "Von Dutch: The Art, The Myth, The Legend" the first airbrushed "monster" shirts were done by Von Dutch, and I've posted earlier that a lot of others got into that business, Ed Roth, Jeffries, and Mouse were selling them http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search/label/monster%20shirts

 This is the dash of the Hirohota Merc

Chrismans famous "Old 25" http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/05/oldest-surviving-dragster-and-it-was.html the oldest known hot rod

this is a very sought after piece of racing car history. No one knows where it is, but everyone knows that is was on the front of the Chavaliers club race car

 I like the louvered fenders with flames, it's very unique, and I doubt anyone ever copied it

 This was the first I'd learned that Reventon had Vond Dutch pinstripe and number the scarabs

 The above Corvette was the daily drive of Eric Rickman, best known of all the Hot Rod photographers

 I'm sure this van has to have went to a junkyard long ago, but if it ever turns up it will be a treasure of Von Dutch's work... hell, what an eyeball on the nose!

and Von Dutch's Kenford, and the adjustment levers are just damn terrific. Not shown is "Le Dump Tube" that Von Dutch put into through the floor so he could get rid of beer cans before cops found them in his truck...

He didn't think a door handle was cool, because anyoen could use it to get in... so he made his own wrench to open the door from the outside. This is a cool custom idea.

 Stan Betz was a louver puncher and body man, and possibly Von Dutch's best friend, and beneficiary of a ton of free work, and knives and guns

 the above flame jopb is comical and ingenious, the yellow flame telling the sperm following him to turn back, it's a blow job. Yup, right on Stans business truck fender. Von Dutch was in such high demand for so much of his life that it made him bitter, obnoxious, and he offended many people just to get breathing room, the rest he bacame a hermit to get away from.
