I wanted to vote for all of them please. I went with the perfect Gasser though because, it's perfect, I love gassers and that one just looks the part. The Offy roadster was a close second, with everything else a close third.

19

the grungy roadsters are my favorite but there were several that were tempting me to change my vote. thanks for all the roadster coverage this year! i hope you keep it up for next year!

20

That van is spectacular

22

FAT57 is too cool a family effort to not give them the proper dues.

23

The G54 Buick. Very original to me at least so I gotta give it the respect it deserves.

24

Hey where was that nasty ass rat from Bonneville? I think bonneville :S

25

Van Go, The Mystery Machine with a paint job and without Scooby's dog hair & slaver all over the inside of it!!!!

26

i'm not usually a van fan but vango is pretty cool. Love the caddy as well but all the cars are amazing! Great website too!!!

27

28

Where is the "Jackal", i thought that would be in there for sure?

Voted for the caddy because that's ballsy as fuck to paint a car that long and straight black. that has to be some awesome body work

45

FAT57 Chevy Truck +1 for the win. Beauman is a supercool guy with all the right moves.

46

WTF is that chev truck doing in here? i saw it while i was in sydney, its rough as guts. the workmanship is terrible. i spoke to the owner and he said he painted it in his driveway, look closely before voting...

47

Jim doesn't understand what hot-rodding is...

48

Purple people eater by far! just look at how that motor sits in that beast! love it!



49

FAT57 is porn!

50

Mister Ominous Caddy

51

the car from the second picture is fabulous, great car !

52

low down 55, why? becuase its the same color of my 55 pontiac, and with so many boring 55's out tere its a refreshing change to see such an altered 55.

53

1 vote for Comet On air

54

Jim i dont know who you spoke to, but the truck was paint in a booth at Frank's Panel and Paint, Gun'd by my father.



Im the owner and i cant remember ever speaking to no Nancy Drew.

55

I voted for 'Rod'riguez!!

56

I voted for 'Rod'riguez!!

57

Mister Ominous Caddy has better design but from a modification perspective G54 Buick has been modified more extensively. Exterior is a tie but engine bay and interior goes to G54 Buick so for me G54 Bucik should be the winner and Mister Ominous Caddy is the runner up.

58

Ahhhhh mannn! Too many beautfiul machines to vote just one!

59

FAT57 truck is mean as hell, one of my favorites this year for sure

"Ask me about me Wiener".

71

Mister Ominous Caddy. No need to even look at the other nominees!

73

My vote is for "ROD"riguez, It's a work of art and Even though I bought the car, I don't feel like I own it .It's in my possession until I pass it on to someone else !!
