Jeez, guys, the things beautiful!

 

i like it

 

Lovely details, but I only like bits of it, as a whole thing it don't work for me i'm afraid.
Living quite close to Brooklands and watching that type of racing makes me question the Brooklands link as i'm struggling to see it !!!

 

Cool car. Arrogant and opinionated writer.

 

I think its a beautiful and different style of a 32. It has that European Race flare to it, but I like the 32s a bit more "traditional" so for me the rear deck wood and the front valance panel gotta go

 

Beautiful craftsmanship. I love those tail lights.

 

Nail on the head !

that thing is nuckin' futs! the profile is dead on. so right. i can do without the hood and valence inserts and the reworking of the bustle with the wood insert, but from the side, i'm in love. from both sides.

sure, troy does things a little different. well maybe a little more than a little, but you can't say he didn't do his homework and execute the vision to a T.

 

FFS...some of you guys fuckin' crack me up.

Why can't some of you guys just appreciate a beautifully built car that embraces vintage European styling cues and one that has been masterfully executed by people who get it. Like a lot of cars, they are an interpretation of the owner's desires, nothing more, nothing less.

I like to wrench, but having built other cars, there's no WAY could I build something of this calibre. If you guys can, step up to the plate, Id love to see the outcome. I'm just glad someone IS building em. Know what I mean ?

Forget the "name" of the car
Forget the chainer moniker that some love to throw around.
Forget the 100s of 1000s spent on it
Forget the use on non original parts.
Forget the Euro influence - not everything is red, white n blue gang.

Appreciate it for what it is.

I wonder if gearheads in the 40s were saying the same about Barris, Westergard, Hirohta, Matranga, the Person Bros etc ? Guess they were all chainers - right ? Sure they WERE, the same clowns who were bitching back then were ragging on the same cars that actually became the iconic cars that we revere today.

Think about it.

Seriously, some of you cats would win the lottery and complain about hauling the ca$h to the Bank for safe keeping lol.

To each their own and all that but I thought the toll poppy syndrome was out of control over here, guess I was wrong.

Rat
