Jerry Wood's 1953 Glasspar G2, with a 331 hemi, and he's not just great at restoring cars, he's a great dad and fabricator. At the Dana Point Concours
I usually post before and after photos differently, but this one is in context and the above photo shows clearly what he's accomplished from the below
Amazing car, 331 hemi, great interior and dash
But before I checked out the car, I noticed the purse the woman was holding. See the first photo at the beginning of this gallery, and you'll notice it too.
That is one cool purse!
Jerry made it for his daughter, and why describe it? You can tell what it's made from
except that you wouldn't know that he used part of his jacket for the inside, and a bit of leather from his tool belt for the snap strap
the handle is removeable, and a longer one can be added, changing it from a clutch purse (get it, clutch?) to a shoulder purse
How awesome, and he even was keeping it shined up for her during the show.
If you're reading this Aja, thanks for the pleasant chat, and sharing with me the cool dad made purse. I bet a lot of guys are going to try making one now.

Starburner Galactic Courier Service base camp for a journey to the center of the earth or time traveling
I don't recall which samll crate is a portable toilet cube in disguise, but one is, and it's damn cool to realize that this basecamp is that well thought out!
in the center of the above is a perfectly working portable typewriter... it folds in half for travel
above is a hand cranked recharging incandescent torch (flashlight)
this is a real working Mimeograph that is about a hundred years old
above, a working Tesla coil
