SEMA 2008: MR. ANGRY spills his haterade on a Honda

SEMA 2008: Mr.Angry hates on the purple thing

CarDomainTV: Mr. Angry Talks to Harry about his ‘32 Ford

Ladies and gentleman, meet Harry. Harry is probably one of the most talented customizers at SEMA this year, and proved it with this wicked Viper powered 1932 Ford.

Tough Tundra in the SEMA Toyota Booth

This matte black Toyota Tundra short bed was just kinda lurking in back of the Toyota booth. The cool part is that this rig is puting down 625hp… AT THE WHEELS! Talk about a sleeper. These are the kind of vehicles that all of us hot rodders want the manufactures to build. On the inside it’s stock Tundra with some little hot rod touches. A triple gauge pod, big ole’ tach and fire extinguisher keep the go fast theme in check while the steels wheels make the its appearance a little more old skool authentic.

 

 

 

 

SEMA 2008: Cure for the Teeny Weenie

Meet the SportChassis P4-XL pick-up truck, one million tons of American steel, diesel and chest hair rolled up in a package that wouldn’t get down one European street. I am just curious why this thing was actually created. I mean, it serves no purpose whatsoever. It’s ugly and the fuel cost must be astronomical. Also, where the hell do you park something like this? My vote would be to park it at the local dump. Take it there, take it apart and throw the whole damn thing in the garbage. Yea, it’s that good.

 

 

 

 

CarDomainTV: Goldberg’s Superbird

Over a year ago when I decided to start work on our 1969 Dodge Daytona, I got a call from former wrestler, pro-football player and auto-maniac Bill Goldberg. Bill was the host the Bullrun TV show that I was a part of, so when I found out he was building a 1970 Plymouth Superbird in conjunction with Year One, I was obviously curious about the project. Well, the project was unveiled and seeing the car in person just doesn’t do it justice. The guys at Year One worked with Goldberg’s vision of a true Nascar Superbird and created a truly spectacular car. The best part though… no one is keeping this baby as it’s being sold at Barrett-Jackson this January for charity. Check out the video link to get a better idea what I’m talking about.

Old Skool Cool

Man, where do I even begin with this thing? Walking through SEMA we’ve been privy to the best and worst of the automotive customs. However, this little bugger caught my eye immediately. Based on a 1932 Ford, this car was simply outstanding in every detail. It was running a fully independent rear end, Viper V10 powerplant and transmission as well as side pipes. The interior is the best I have seen at SEMA thus far, and body and finishing work throughout the car was that of a pure craftsman. One of my top five so far.

 

 

 

 

Rally Inspired Honda Pilot: Very Cool

The Honda Pilot is a pretty uninspiring vehicle when viewed in stock form. However, with a few trick upgrades this mild mommy machine has been turned into a pretty rad rally machine. From the well thought out front push guard sporting four Hella lights to the cool Thule roof rack to the rally-inspired interior complete with roll cage and fully-adjustable oh sh*t handles, this little UTE is transformed into something I think Daddy would drive on a regular basis.

Original Vanishing Point Chally in the Flesh

If you’re a Mopar fan, there are certain movies that you must see. Dirty Mary Crazy Larry, Phantasm, Dukes of Hazzard, Joe Dirt, Cannonball (the orignal), Blues Brothers, and of course Vanishing Point. In this flick Kowalski tried to run from the cops in a white Challenger R/T while totally jacked up on uppers. If you’re really fine cinema, this movie is not for you. If you like Mopars, car chases and cool nude scenes with a hot blond chick on a motorcycle, then you must check it out. Anyway, below are the pics of one of the original movie cars in Mopar Alley, complete with movie make-up and and battle scars. Enjoy.
