If you had to paint a massive land yacht Mopar (69 Chrysler 300), you wouldn't do this to it would you? Mint and chocolate with lace paint?

Points for trying, points removed for ugly results

cool old motorbikes at El Cajon for the season opener car cruise

Immediate attention grabber in John Deere colors

On the far side of the red bike is a matching black, and they have pre-1970 yellow on black license plates

the above repair kit is on the below bike

A beaut of a Chevelle, great color, great pro street look, but the interior is definitely not contemporary

El Cajon car cruise got off to a late start for the car show season, here are some cool new things that caught my eye

cool rat rods at El Cajon's season opener car cruise, the Garrett and Sons, and a former British Taxi

this one is from http://www.socal-suspension.com/ a local El Cajon busniess, and the saw blades on the front airbags are a cool touch

Here's the image of what it started life as... and for a good article on London Taxis showing up at car shows: http://www.classicaldrives.com/50226711/londons_iconic_taxicabs_spotted_in_classic_car_shows.php

The shifter is particularly cool, looks like a 3 or 4 foot long socket wrench extension with a 1 1/2" short impact socket. That is somethign I don't remember seeing used as a shifter in a rat rod or custom before... my compliments!
