VON FRANCO's Lightnin' bug PIX!!!! It's out of the closet :D

Well it's done and it made it to the show on SUnday,,, They ran into a issue
with the flywheel that set them back ..so they finished the car at 6am Sunday and loaded up the car and made it to the show,,,those guys looked
spent..but they were stoked to have the car done,.,,Franco was a happy camper,,,,






The Headers that started it all.... For those that don't know.. he bought the original headers and built the car around it.





Trouble Makers!


The DOOOOOOOD!!!


Thats all fer now..
evel

 

I hope he's gonna put the blower on it.
Has Normie seen it?

 

THats an awsome video i like the old clips from 77 sunset strip.

 

Wow!!

 

Bad mother fuckers!! Glad ya made it.

FLIP

 

Awesome franco-

 

Coolsville for sure....

 

Great old footage and a great car! I like it better than the Kookie version myself.

 

I like the Lightning Bug version better - also!

 

Speechless, way cool man!

 

I always loved the Kookie car, but this version rocks. Hats off to yers!

 

Congrats to Franco, and everyone involved. The car looks bitchin'.

 

Ditto that!

 

Very, very cool... congrats, and great job to all involved!

 

Franco....Car looks great!!......Your paint job really made my body work look good!!

 

He has the Blower....It's just not ready for it yet.

 

Gotta say that I agree!. Great film clips-Definitely Koolsville!
I saw that car there yesterday as I drove in, a buddy has a T with the similar look! he built it years ago but got that Lightning Bug look down as did Franco, Gotta say that Franco & Co, had people around him all day so if he was tired, he wasn't being unhospitipal as many were laying compliments re:the rebirth of the Lightning Bug.
I think that this great! Now all 3 versions of this car exist,If one could only get Jimmy (Street) Skonzakis to bring that last version out, people would be able to see the evolution of the 1st Grabowski T. (Later T-Tub became My Mother the Car and was a LA Roadster club car).
Great Job on the best version of that car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am never Amazed Enough at the talent coming over on the HAMB!! Great Car!!! Too bad those older shows aint on video, or are they?

 

I dropped by to see Franco on my way home from Paso. Even in pieces this car was perfect. Congrats to you and team in getting this one done. I'm sure Norm would approve.

 

Awesome! Congrats to all involved, the blower will finish it off perfectly!
& as I said in the other thread this my favourite version.

 

Man that car is the Tits! Great job Franco and crew. Now that's straight out of Koolsville.

 

Great stuff! Congrats to Von Franco. Also gotta say I dig that video.
