Maybe it's just because I've read too much Henry Gregor Felsen, but to me when I think 1950s hot rods I think of Iowa or Nebraska before I think of California! I love that website, but I'd forgotten about it since last year. Thanks H_H.

Thanks for reposting this. I reread this whole story again. What a great piece of Americana. I would love to see this thing in person.

This guy is an incredible builder...
If you can't learn a thing or two on that site you might as well give up!
Geez! He even used a ratchet handle to fab a handbrake lever! Thats the kind of stuff WE do, yet he's an original Hot Rodder,from back in the fifties!
I suddenly feel....legitimate! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
His stuff just blows me away. I REALLY respect this mans work and vision.

Hey hanks for the link, I like the "warts and all" realism.
Where'd that last hour go??
