Dukes Hot Rod - Relivin with The Public Nuisance.

Welcome to Duke's Hot Rod webpage! This is the place where you can check out my 1928 Ford hot rod and my vintage camping trailer. My friend Beau took the photos and posted them here for easy access for you, my friends! Enjoy!
Public Nuisance! That's me, and that's the name of this car.
I built this car from two different bodies
That's a flathead V8 baby, hang on!
I hired a 90 year old man in Chehalis to build this motor. Took him a whole year.
Nice cans, huh!
That's my 'Flying Lady' gas cap..not too many of those around.
Inside is pretty basic.
This car is one of a kind. I took me a few years to find all the parts and I'LL NEVER SELL IT! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Now... JUST IN CASE..I want to park the Hot Rod and do some riding, I had to have this:
That's my 1966 Harley on a custom made trailer, filled with all my camping gear.
Ive got gear in here you'll probably NEVER see anywhere else.
Check out that vintage cooler. Not too many of THOSE around anymore. And do you need a toilet? Wait a minute..here's one right here!
This Harley is in perfect, running condition.
'Reliven' That's what I'm doing!
In case you had any doubts. BUT WAIT...There's MORE! This is my recently completed vintage camping trailer. Tows like a dream, just big enough for ME!
I found this trailer in pretty bad shape, but the structure was solid.
Pretty thick gauge aluminum, with aircraft style rivets and hinge work.
There was no canvas when I bought it, but some of the original tube bows were there. I just added some more to make it as original as possible.
I sent away for the canvas work, and they added two feet to my requested plan because of the way the windows had to fit. I'm glad they did because it's perfect for my chair, a table and my portable toilet!
The kitchen storage/table slides out from under the bunk inside and folds out to provide a workspace. Neat!
This sink came out of a railroad car. You just push the little button to pump water into the bowl.
Breakfast is ready! Nothing on this table is newer than 1950!
So that's my current project. Hope you like it, I will add more stuff as I complete it. Have a GREAT DAY! The Duke
