All those labels under these posts, and in the long column (about 1000) are there to help me, and you, find the stuff you are looking for. They sure help me find the things I recall having posted before, so I can add photos like these to the posts I want them in, or want to let you know where you can find similar things.

The Derelict DeSoto of Jonathan Ward, DeSoto front on a '52 Chrysler Town and Country custom wagon

Exterior is rat rod, genuine aged US steel and paint.


The engine is a new Hemi, and has vintage 392 era valve covers covering the new stuff. Sweet touch!
The lug nuts appear to be 1/2 inch or 9/16ths sockets... cool idea I've never seen anyone realize before.

Awesome interior
