Ok, I spent all last night struggling over what I would offer up as a prize. I drank a LOT, kicked the dog, made love to the wife. Ummmmm, boy did I drink a lot, I hope I didn't mix up the dog and the wife 
Anyway, since not everyone who might enter has a rod project they are building, but EVERYONE lives somewhere, I'm going to offer up one of our custom mailbox toppers. It has 4 tabs you bend, drill holes in your mailbox and mount. You WILL get comments and it makes it easier to find your house.
Now, if you live in an apartment, or your car, or a cardboard box, or just dont have a mailbox, just tell me to leave the tabs off and you can hang it on the wall or tape it to your box so the other hobos know what box you live in.
You can see where I blocked out the address, that mainly cause I don't want any of you showing up at my house and violating the dog
Where the address goes, I can put whatever you want (whithin reason).Put your address. Put your kids name on it and let them have it. Give it to your father in law and make him happy. Give it to your wife with "I love you" and give your dog a rest.
These are 18 gauge steel. I gring them "swirly" and clear coat them, or I can leave them in raw steel and you can paint it or let it rust, your call.
We typically sell these at shows for $50 plus shipping, so whoever wins this contest, between this and Earthmans sign (by the way, I want that) you are doing pretty good. I'm only covering the cost to the continintal US, if you live elsewhere, if you want to eat the difference in shipping, then I'll ship with no issues.
I'm just offering up this prize, past that, I'm not judging, I'm not making any rules,,,,, NOTHING. Thats Earthman's deal. I'm just doing this to "jump in" to the site and say hey.
No actual dog was harmed (I hope).

Very nice gesture & a very cool topper.

LMAO. We have 11 dogs (yea, you read that right
). I'm known as the "hot rod guy", my wife is known as "crazy dog lady". Maybe I shouldnt have been the one that called her that first.

I'm going to but I don't have anything new. I'm just going to add some older pics for filler. I'm still pretty busy with my sick son and won't really be able to do anything special. But I want to see the pics and add to the thread.

Oh, and to make it even more interesting,,,,,, IF the winner has a car that he wants on there instead of that 34, I will work with him to make it happen. Including his own car.
Custom cnc programing isnt cheap, so put up some effort to win.

This gets better and better!
No offense to E-man and his contest, but that prize might be better for the favorite picture of the year from the RRR calendar? Tripper might get more and better submissions too.

If Tripper has a contest thats BIG, I have no problems stepping up and offering something even WAY cooler. I'm liking this site more and more and have no issues on doing this type of stuff.
All the man has to do is get ahold of me. Its called comunity involvement. I see shops on here pimping what they sell, and they SHOULD step up and offer promotional freebies now and then

Something like this is what i have in mind complete with caption explaining what it is.
This is a landmark dried up watering hole here in Tempe AZ, It even has some Von Dutch history.
