    She's a beaut. I really like the old Hedman headers, Corvette valve covers and the Corvette FI. Classic parts from the golden age of hot rods.

    I had the chance to buy this from Andy’s estate a couple of years ago, but knew I could not financially afford to do it justice. Thank god someone did, and Roy and his crew are the perfect ones to bring it back to it’s former self. Well done!!!

    I guess I'm late to the party here. Can anybody explain the story on the extensive fender repair work done.

    I remember it on the cover of Hot Rod when the magazine arrived in the mail. This is a tremendous tribute to both the original and the restoration. Thanks so much for posting!
