The coolest things I found at the 2012 Grand National Roadster Show, #3 - homemade speedometer, Roman numerals, w/ boost, and temp gauge inset

This blow your mind? Does mine. No one at the vehicle to ask for it's maker name, phone number, and cost... cause I know I'm not the only one curious and impressed

Update Feb 9th:

I spent about 1k on it, did a LOT of research, running around etc. I had been sitting on sketches and tons of photos of watches and clocks for like 3 or 4 years until I finally just HAD to make it. I have photos of the clay models I did too. The inspiration for this gauge was a large rusty wall clock I saw at Target.

the above is a shot of Airmighty Magazine, where Ed got the the cover and feature. Ed is a photographer of portraits, porn, foot fetish, and movie posters. Lots of great work on his site: http://www.edfox.com/ not as much cars

as great photography, and portraits, but hell, with porn stars to photograph, I doubt any of us would be as interested in photographing cars either!

from the company known for making taxis in France in the 1910-1930's... this terrific race car came, the 1924 Chenard and Walker roadster

I love to find cool new gauges, and these are unlike any I've seen before

A barometer, or an altimeter? To adjust the carbs for rich or lean?

The speedo, tach, and gas gauges are incredible...

Litres d' Essence wow, what a great language!

This is the kind of infographic there aren't enough of: just simple, informative, cool, and automotive

1925 Auto Union Wanderer W25 Roadster from the Schlumpf collection at the Mullin Museum

The Dynaliner returned to SEMA, it is a thorough tribute to hot rodding... great details to admire all over

check the spreader bar, it's a Ford wishbone! Now... that, that is very cool! The grill has 32 teeth

Bitching hood prop!

SCOT supercharger? I didn't get a close look, but I think so

I dig the speedometer 6 in one guage set, the cool steering wheel, the ashtray, the timing stopwatch, and the "Speed King" drum set gas pedal (posted that a couple years ago http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search?q=dynaliner)
