Hinkle's Gold Rush

Terrific display, simple, direct, and sharp

The stands bolted to the lugs bolts are superb, great way to let people view the bellypan

"A Touch to Much" tribute truck to AC/DC... with working Marshall amp and smoke machine, and amazing airbrushed panels

Original designs include:
•A Sonor drum pedal for the accelerator
•Ahead drum sticks for turn signal and Tilt actuators
•Paiste cymbal for switch plate
•Roc N Soc drum thrones for seats
•Shure microphone head for shifter knob
•Coffin mic case for shifter console
•Gibson guitar knobs for door openers

The above airbrushed piece amazes me that is so perfectly recreates a cutting torch burning through the door panel from the inside

The key fob guitar pick, small detail, great idea

•Delicate Sound of Thunder - our tribute to Pink Floyd
•"NOTHING ELSE MATTERS" - tribute to Metallica

Big Daddy Don Garlits Swamp Rat special edition 1995 Dodge Truck, only 150 made, only 15 on the west coast, here's the best of them, only 36k miles

This is number 128 of 150, they were mostly ordinary trucks that went to Mark 3 that put in upgraded interior, and the decals. All of the Garlits specials got the swamp rat waving the flag on the quarter panel, but few or no others got the flames on the front fenders. They came with the 360 Magnum, and a 4 barrel. 220 Hp, Mike wanted more, and upgraded with headers, and nitrous.

This is number 128 of the 150, and yup, it's for sale, because Mike is getting a Cadillac truck with the Corvette engine.

This is the 3rd I've found in San Diego, the others didn't have the flames of course. http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/07/swamp-rat-edition-of-dodge-ram-well.html

suspension takes a lot of abuse, here to demonstrate, a crash test dummy. Behind him is the demo of how well suspension smooths the ride for passenger
