    Hey guys, SCOTT SULLIVAN here, I got an e-mail telling me about my post inquiry. First, I'd like to thank everyone for their kind words. I just signed up on the h.a.m.b. about a month ago. I've watched for a long time but just don't have the time to actively participate much! I could write pages about what I've been up to but I don't wanna bore you so I'm gonna stick to the things formost on my mind. FIRST, I DON"T build bikes now, that was mistakingly written in HOTROD of all places. Ten years ago, in the height of the HARLEY craze, I was doing alot of fabrication and paintwork for them(it's my profession you know!)and for awhile, I was doing more bike work than cars. NOT MY CHOICE!!! I AM A HOTRODDER AND WILL BE TILL THE DAY I DIE!!! SECOND, I never really went away, I've just made alot of really bad business deals trusting people when I should'nt have. Aside from the financial devistation that can cause, it also meant my work on various projects never got finished or so it would seem !!!! I'm gonna post a seperate thread on this subject and it aint gonna be pretty! I'm back on track now, look for a '31 ford fourdoor sedan converted to a two door tub, gold ,white liftoff top, flathead power for a customer, It will be completed by spring for sure. My next COMPLETED project will be a '54 chev, nothing earth shattering but kickass nonetheless! one more thing,in the cheezwiz article, I microwaved cheezwiz until it was runny, mixed red food coloring with it 'till it matched my car and poured it on the trunklid!

    I've got mixed emotions. If you are the Scott Sullivan who built the Nova and the Fifty Five in the late seventies then hats off to you. You are a talented man with vision.

    On the other hand, you inspired countless less talented hacks to destroy muscle cars and street rods into Pro Street fair grounds cruisers.

    Not your fault. Didn't mean to cut down you or your work. Just letting you know the power of your influence. Welcome tothe HAMB

    [​IMG]Number 40 on Hot Rods top 100 list
    Top 100 Hot Rods That Changed the World

    40 SCOTT SULLIVAN'S '55 CHEVY
    You're familiar with Power Tour(r), our cross-country roadtrip that draws thousands of hot rodders onto America's roads every summer? Six years before the first Power Tour(r), Scott Sullivan showed us how it should be done. With HRM Editor Jeff Smith riding shotgun, Sullivan drove his radical, tubbed, nitrous'd big-block-powered "Cheez Whiz Orange" '55 from Dayton, Ohio, to Palmdale, California, then ran mid-10s with leftover burger wrappers flying out the windows. It was epic, and it inspired us all to stop polishing chrome and sitting on lawn chairs, and start driving our hot rods. -Rob Kinnan

    you might be thinking about rick dobbertin, matt hay, mark grimes or rocky robertson. scott sullivan builds 'reachers', as gray baskerville used to say...


    ( i know these guys all built driveable cars, but i don't think i ever saw a s.s. car on a trailer)

    hey boones, I' ve got some stuff, actually, they're construction photos but you'll get the idea. I can tell you this meantime, think RIDICULOUSLY LOW!! The front bumper was about 3" from the ground. Drove it EVERYWHERE with no problems after sectioning a chunk out of the frame right where your feet would go. Seems the car would bounce after a dip in the road and kiss the frame there. Too much suspension travel??? HE-HE

    hi TAYLOR, I sold the '67 to ron iannotti in '84, he still has it. Believe it or not, after all this time he scratched the driver fender, and mailed it to me for repair! I think iannottiracing.com is his site, check it out!
