All New Bubble Top Show Rod!
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 |

Re: All New Bubble Top Show Rod!
Wow, very cool! The concept drawing looks awesome, can't wait to see this come together. You must get a quantity discount getting the bubble top made by now
 I am a closet air-cooled fan too, excited to see updates Dan
