The Monster Garage/Peg Sedan

[Mike S.]

I stumbled upon these pictures that I took years ago at West Coast Choppers and I thought you guys might dig 'em. This is the '29 sedan that was built on Monster Garage's New York episode. One of my favorites! RIP Peg.

That episode was one of my favorites too, along with the show with all the greats building that custom 54 Chevy. Jesse swore he would go to the grave with both cars, but ended up selling both.

I am surprised to hear that he sold it. It seemed to be one of his favorites. Maybe he had to sell it to pay rent. I am not sure if you've seen this video, it's pretty cool. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXdtnULos5I

I agree. I really like the '54 episode. Imagine all of that history and talent in one room. Crazy.

That's an aluminum indy car body. It was really cool in person. JJ had it for sell on his website for a while.

I looked over the sedan at Barret Jackson last year.
Great details on parts of the car but a lot of the welding needed finishing.

I just read online that it sold for $51,700! Yikes!

Any more pics of it?

That '54 was pretty rough. A friend of mine that owns Hot Rods and Hobbies did the finish fit and finish on the car, then he painted it. Funny, the producers approached him about finishing the car and they offered to put his shop on screen if he did it for free. He told them they would have to pay, he didn't care about T.V..

He did the fit, finish and paint on my '32, now I couldn't afford him.

Sorry Sam, I don't think I do but, I'll search my computer and memory cards and post any if I find them. I wish I would have taken some because it was really cool. I remember it was tucked back against the wall and that's probably why I didn't get a good picture. I searched online last night but found nothing. I wonder what ever happened to it. That was one cool thing about going to West Coast Choppers, they had all kinds of cool stuff laying around. I have a good picture of that crazy diesel "trike" they built on Monster Garage. It was way cool in person. I'll try to find it

I've heard it was rough from somewhere else too. Was that your buddy at the end of the episode comparing the before mud side to the after mud side?

That trike was my favorite of the 'goofy' builds they did. Thanks for looking for more of the Monopoly car.

I love the windows in that 29'. Never thought of using them.
