SOLD AND GOING TO HUSTON TEXAS Hello Guys and Gals, Im kind of testing the waters here. Im thinking of selling my 31 Tudor Sedan. “Witchy Woman” was featured on the cover of the December 2008 Street Rodder Magazine, along with a four page spread. It was debuted at The Detroit Autorama in March 2008, where it won 1st place in the Altered Street Sedan class, and 2008 Cruiser Of The Year. Since then it has been in Street Rodder, Rod and Custom, Goodguys Gazzette, and many other magazines. This car seems to always take 1st place no matter where it goes. No expense was spared making sure this car would get these accolades. Every detail of building a traditional style hot rod has been thoroughly thought out and well executed on this car.
This car was built by the late legendary hot rod builder and a great personal friend of mine Sean Vesely of the Hot Rod Shop of NC. He built MANY well know rods over his 35 year professional career, but this was the best that he ever built, as said by him. This was the very last car he built before he passed away unexpectedly on Feb. 10, 2008. We went to great pains over the 2 ½ year build to make sure this car was as traditional as possible (circa 1959) while making it safe and reliable at the same time. Every traditional part that was used on this car was completely reworked and rebuilt to be made like new again. This car was built using a completely restored 1931 Model A Tudor Sedan (no junk). I have pictures of the entire hot rod build, along with pictures of the entire original restoration from the previous owner as well. I have approximately 500-600 miles on this car thus far and it is running great. No problems and everything works perfectly as it should. Obviously, there are no rust issues or dents in this car. This car is always kept in a well insulated garage.

Now on to the details of this car:
