known as the "Minny Sota Ferrari" and emailed around all summer, I just got it in my email, it's a great use of a lot of farm equipment tools and tractor stuff

it has a Minneapolis Moline grill, a washtub for a fan shroud, milking tubes on top of the air filter housing, horse shoes holding up the side mirrors, a cross cut blade for a dashboard, great open end wrenches for the headlight buckets which I don't recognize, a tin roof for a firewall, and what looks like a manure spreader at the back

I hope you've enjoyed this photographers good work at close ups of all the cool farm things put to good use on this jalopy
