    Thats right kids, I teamed up with super famous illustrator Jimmy Smith.
    I am building one of his fantastic drawings that caught my eye.
    Its a radical show rod with a VW drive line, super bell axle out front, a '50 Merc steering box, and a bunch of other cast off junkyard parts. Its being built in the timeless Ed Roth tradition of plaster spit wads & hand rolled fiberglass!
    We'll keep you posted as the plaster hardens! now get back out to the garage and build something!

    Fritz,
    I've always admired your work since I first saw your stuff in the horse. I'm glad nobody told you that it can't be done. Not only more pictures how about bigger ones.
    Thanks Rich
