An old chop top that was sitting in front of the NHRA museum this last weekend during the NHRA Winternationals. Unfortunatley I only took one shot, but I thought I'd still share.

It's a popular trend right now in hot rodding. More of the aesthetic detail is spent on the motor and the body is left to look all ratty and worn. In many cases the rusty look is faked because the body is in much better shape. Canon EOS 40D,

I'd love to see this thing driving down the street. I'm sure it turns heads everywhere it goes.
