Studio44Werks has posted some cool interesting swap meet stuff!

 Either a straight six, or a v12 powers this Rolls Royce hood ornamented boat tailed vintage appearing bare aluminum beast. Anyone have better photos of it?

 Check out this trailer... looks like a 55 gallon steel drum with a cleaver, come-along, and shovel with a hanged section to get access to the vouminous interior... that is some garage made one of a kind trailer right there! Looking ahead to the sidecar motorcycle of rust and rebar... I think someone is making things up as they go along

 that is a stunning design of engine cover

 I've never seen a sprocket with art deco eagle designs before... wow

Notice the headlights (airplane lights?) are bigger than the model's head by a lot

It looks like a cross between Exner's Mercer Cobra http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/12/mercer-cobra-may-be-ugly-enough-to.html and the late 50's vettes.
