Holy S*** ! , tool innovations from firefighters, for firefighters. This rocks! Sharing great ideas for the benefit of all

Damn, this ought to be framed art (minus the extra set of earplugs)

Check out all the bitchin tools, modified, improvised, and uses you never thought of for common stuff, but firefighters have found work really good for propping open doors,keeping things in place, and misc simple things that have been proven to help in emergencies

cool rat rods at El Cajon's season opener car cruise, the Frankenstein from Rickybobbyrodshop, 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!

Lots of cool photos over at the HAMB, here's a couple from a thread about the history of Los Angeles

That is one great photo.


Very cool socket wrench holder! That's clever!

Craig Breedlove built the Spirit of America in his garage!

This is how many oil derricks there were all over Los Angeles, above in Brea, below in Huntington Beach, 1958

The first the time I have seen a delivery truck in use to deliver when new


Drive by banking?
