    I could look at Dan's cars all week and not get bored! I have to say, I'm not really into this current concept, but the craftsmanship is beyond reproach. Beautiful, beautiful work.

    I met Ashley at SEMA '06 briefly when we were gawking at her car. Very cool, classy chick! Nice job folks!

    The framework is astonishing I'm havin trouble seein how he fabricated some of it !. And the perimeter disc brakes are a nice touch , a lot less visable than hub mounts. Man there would be a big pile o swarf an hole centers layin around after that lot.

    Dumb question... what is the relationship between the car in this thread and this Golden Submarine? I saw this car at the 2007 Miller Show at the Milwaukee Mile in 2007. I have no idea if this car is original or a reproduction, either. Gary

    They are both new.

    But Dan doesn't claim anything other than it is and what you see ......

    Do you understand?

  12. I believe even the one in the Indy Museum is a recreation.

    For me, it's the ultimate hiboy chopped coupe.

    WOW thanks for the kind words... How exciting
     
  15. Barney Oldfield lopped the body off (if I understand it, he felt unsafe inside the "sub"), so both bodies are "new".
