interesting stuff I saw at the swap meet this past weekend

this portable tach goes to 3500 rpm, the seller wanted 20 bucks, and it's not for a vehicle. It's for machinery, you put a rubber tipped back shaft on the rotating machine, and the portable tach indicates it's speed. I'm guessing it's not much use, and never used, because it's perfect inside that can.

Seller thinks it's worth more than 15 thousand dollars to him.

Everythign you'll need to replace all the wood on a woodie

cool display at one end of the Long Beach Motorama of speed parts and memorabilia

this is one hell of a cool collection, and that some guys went to the effort and risk of having it sit on display is amazing

the Bowers and Paris AA/FA 37 Fiat Topolino

My award for best of show, 2011 Goodguys Del Mar Nationals goes to Ralph Whitworth and this exquisite leather interior and hemi engined t bucket

I want to know who did this interior, I want some leather like this!

Love the floor, the minimalist appearance of gauges and the leather glove box, geez that leather covered trans tunnel is awesome. That is top shelf, friends.

Damn cool header in the left corner of the above photo

Damn I love these seats

Sweet tank straps and trunk... that trunk isn't paint matched, but I like the patina, and love the size

John of T Bucket Plans just let me know that this was built for Royce Glader by Eric Peratt of Pinkee's Rod Shop over an 18-month period in 2004-05. That beautiful leather interior was done by PJ's Upholstery of Denver. To PJ's upholstery, I give my apprecaition and standing ovation! Eric Peratt gets a standing ovation, and I hope enough business that he someday brings down costs to where a broke guy like I can afford his expertise!
