Demented, Scary Hot Rod at Lonestar Round Up

Written by Ken Altes

From last year’s Round Up, this stunning and brilliant hot rod. The 1937 Hudson grille and E&J Type 20 headlights are remarkable for sure, but upon close examination, the metal surfaces of the air cleaners, valve covers, etc., are intricately decorated with skulls, etc. I don’t know if they are etched or applied, but the work is outstanding. One of my favorite, and memorable, cars at the show.Scary Hot Rod at Austin's Lonestar Round Up Scary Hot Rod at Austin's Lonestar Round Up air cleaner detail Scary Hot Rod at Austin's Lonestar Round Up detail, skulls Scary Hot Rod at Austin's Lonestar Round Up engine Scary Hot Rod at Austin's Lonestar Round Up ornamentScary Hot Rod at Austin's Lonestar Round Up front
