One of my favorite tiki inspired rides

As I was doing research for the HouseOspeed/HotRodShiftKnob 29 Model A roadster, I came acroos a car I've always loved and in looking at the shots fell back in love all over again. I first saw it at a Mooneyes X-Mas party in '94.  The car was called LB Tiki and was built by a guy named Ivan with an assist on the interior by Tiki Diablo.

John Cooper's El Tiki

Here's a cool car that has a lot of neat details. I've been spending some quality time admiring this build and you may want to as well. The link will take you to an entire article with even more pics. Enjoy!

Sorry for the delay

Mahalo, Hot Rod Tiki fans. I've kinda dropped the ball on adding to this post as I've been blogging a lot
on the builds of the Hot Rod Shift Knob 1929 Ford Model A Roadster and the 1926 Ford T coupe that's waiting in the wings. But enough about those. Thanks for your patience. Here's a few shots of Ratiki, the HouseOspeed tiki truck. For more there's a nice post on Suede-and-chrome.com as well as http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3140075. Promise to stop in again back sooner!

Hot Rod Tiki Artist

Have you seen "Crash", the Austin based Tiki artist. She is pretty awesome.Check out her website. She painted our HouseOSpeed company truck. It's a '65 Chevy Suburban AKA "Ratiki". Maybe you've been lucky enough to personally view it at a local Texas car show, or maybe you saw the article last July 2007, it was featured in Classic Trucks magazine.
