Car pics too cool not to share

Expanded metal is the go to for the sand rails I had or ran around with.

90% of the ones around here look like this, but driving on the other side. Sometimes you'll catch someone with side panels.

That's one of my buddy's. I've been upside down in this one at least once. :sneaky:
 

When I was a youngster, "ruddy red" primer was what was on the low-buck and/or not yet completed hot rods. I think it may be more accurately referred to as "ruddy brown", but in my circle of friends and family, it was always ruddy red. I rarely saw grey primer, and don't recall ever seeing black primer on a build. I'm talking the '60s and early '70s. One almost never sees the ruddy red anymore. Thanks for the flashback, @Wildman. :)

Red oxide in the VW community as I knew it.
 
I don't know why this just jumped out at me, but I’ve never noticed the pusher fan setup on that car. A pusher with a shroud, what a weird and inefficient setup.

I'd always seen it and just guessed that there wasn't room between the supercharger pulley & the radiator. I'd always known it wasn't an efficient means of cooling but just like guys who put the fan in front on a Jeep.
