Power Tour has always brought out a few freaks, and we applaud that. You might get locked up anywhere else, but on Power Tour you’re just considered a little freaky. We had so many this year we decided to show you the staff’s top-five picks for your perusal, for inspiration, and also to show you what you’re up against in case you have a freak-show project festering in your garage.
Obviously based off of a Volkswagen, it’s running a small-block Ford. With the former trunk now housing an engine, this necessitated adding a trunk, with the resulting appendage out back. Chopped with suicide doors, the owner also chose to add a windshield visor to help deflect the potentially hot days of Power Tour. A Rolls Royce–type grille adds a classy touch.This S-10 Blazer from Missouri has been turned into a “Nomad” with the 1955 front clip, Nomad badges on the front fenders and tailgate, 1955 Chevy taillights added to the rear quarter-panels, and a 1955 Chevy rear bumper painted body color.This homebuilt pickup has some origins in Model A Fords with the cowl, front and rear fenders, and bumpers all coming from 1928–29 Ford cars. From there it’s homemade wooden body and bed giving a woodie type of vibe. There must have been something heavy being hauled in the bed of this Model A mashup with the rear leaning stance.Based off of a complete Viper chassis, the “Decadeuce” takes its body parts mostly from a 1932 Ford sedan, which has been widened substantially to fit the Viper chassis. From this view, it looks like it could have a couch for a bench seat, but we couldn’t see through the smoked window tint, so your guess is as good as ours. Finished—which is something rather rare for a freak—the build looks to have taken some time to blend the old and new into the Decadeuce.Starting with a 1940s Dodge cab, we don’t know how you would describe what this ended up as. A welding truck for sure, but beyond that, we’ll leave it up to you to speculate. We came across this throughout the Power Tour, blowing coal and getting Long Hauler status in the process.
