    I'm sure that some of your guys have seen Rex Burnett's drawing of the Pierson Brothers coupe... I love these cut-away drawings.

    This one was done in the '40s.

    Do any of you have more of his work?

    thanks

    Wow - thanks for the responses!

    Hey LOWCAB - that '29 with the tracknose is killer.

    Speedwagon, I dig that super-modified. I remember seeing them run at Cajon Speedway before they closed it down.

  9. Not the Pierson Bros.but another influential car:The Fran Hernandez coupe from the April 1949 Hot Rod.Fran is my wife's ex-father-in-law and just celebrated his 84th birthday a couple weeks ago.Franand Bobby Meeks built engines for Vic Edelbrock Sr.among other things.

  18. I do this for a living. Not done a full cut away car since college though. Time consuming is not the word! I´ll do another one one day.
