(Photos by Charles Wickam) – We’re back with more great Charles Wickam photos from the 2014 Hot Rod Riot car show which was held in Victoria, Texas. This was a wide open affair that welcomed pretty much anything with wheels and an engine into the show. We’re talking some real freaky-deaky stuff here, kids. Believe it or not, the heavy duty rat rod truck below is pretty tame when compared to some of the creations that you will see. But on the other end of the spectrum there are some standard cab dually trucks that we’d do horrible things to own, there’s some sweet VW van action in here that we can get behind, and there’s an insanely channeled and sectioned machine that you will either love or be forced to set your computer on fire in order to unsee it.
This wasn’t about rolling in with a show stopping shop built amazing hot rod. This was a show about getting in your junk, praying it started, and driving it in the gate. If your paint was perfect you’d be the freak at this gathering of weathered, patina’d, and interesting looking cars and trucks. We dig the vibe and we dig the cars and trucks even more!
