I know a lot people on here have complimented your car.

 

Way to go Jeff!

 

Congrats guys!!!

Always loved that sinister Buick!


Pete-

 

Congrats, definitely one of the coolest cars on the planet.

 

Congrats!!!!!

 

Congrats and the Buick is probably the most mentioned and photographed car on the HAMB for the past week.

 

Congrats, way to go

 

Fantastic, congrats! Gary

Just wondering, is it just me or does the car's finish give anyone else the impression that this is a very, very heavy car, like 5 tons worth? Sort of a visual conundrum. Gary

 

Congratulations, not many guys run a straight 8, this is real hot rodding!!!

 

Awesome job!! Not only does it look fast, it IS fast.

 

Jeff, I'm a big fan of the car, love the look! Would the rules allow a custom molded rear window, would make for a better aero package? Same thing about the addition of side glass. Bob

 

This is one of those cars that really has to be seen in person. It is very cool. We were checking it out while that French fella was shooting pictures and you still managed to squeeze in some time for our questions ... I really appreciate that.

Congrats on the record!

 

Way to go Jeff! Good seeing you in impound!

 

Are we blessed , brother or what ?

Congrats on you record Buddy, We''ll see you at World Finals.

Thanks fellow HAMBers.

It was great to meet a bunch of you.

Congratulations!! That Buick is flat out awsome!!

 

Now I can't stop thinking about Coors Light... along with the Soul Train theme song. Gary

 

WOW that's awesome. You didn't just break the record you shattered it. Great job guys.

 

Congrats Jeff! You worked hard for that.

 

Great job, congratulations!

That's what I was thinking !! Futuristic freight train out of a gothic batman movie or something. Big congrats on the shattering the record !!!

 

That car has the look of speed as if it was designed in 1935 for look into the future of 2012. Great job!

 

We need a HAMB artist to do a 1935 Popular Mechanics style cover shot if Betty at speed. Bob

 

Congrats. Love that car. Remindes me of a girl I went out with back in the day. she was fast too

 

Reminds me of a girl I went out with back in the day, she was FAT too! What an accomplishment, way to go!!
