Yesterday was the annual Hunnert Car Pileup in Morris, IL. The car show is customized for the custom, rat rod, modified, what have you, anything goes kind of car enthusiast 
. As such you will see some of the wildest pieces on four wheels (or two) that share the blacktop. This is a great show to go to, especially if you're looking for street rod or street rod items to deck out your ride that may not be found most anywhere. I took a number of photos using the better camera. To save space here are some of the killer rides that were in the show, notwithstanding the Studebakers as well. [8D]
This is a big show, this is also a breather for the monster show that will go on later on today in the same vicinity over on the east side of Morris [
)]
Somewhere along the lines I think this might be first for this particular body style. It sports a nice wooden interior with room for a TV/DVD/Stereo in the center of the extension. [}
]
This is a sharp little truck with that color. The body style should look vaguely familar to a few of you. [)] It was also sporting this neat little trailer that had a just as neat little go kart with a motorcycle engine propelling it (out of frame)
That's a Stude alright!! [^] That is a Studebaker V8 coupled to a Flightomatic 3 spd (which had an aftermarket floor shifter on top) which was coupled to a Ford 9 inch out back. The suspension was a Plymouth tubular piece that was tossed out and he took it and bolted it above the frame rails. What's interesting is many of the parts are items other rodders have no need for, so with a little imagination, it made for a pretty cool little street rod. Yes, he did say that it does get a little wet when it rains....[:I]
These are some other cars and trucks that were around at the show today. A couple of other Studebakers were at the show today that I didn't post above. Ken Evans had his "Ute"(Those of you remember him from Lancaster) at the show today. That's a neat car, and boy it really gets around!! All in all it was a good day yesterday, now on with the main act today !! [)]
