I’ve been flogging my roadster on the sand in Wildwood for the last four years. It’s time to build a new one so I grabbed some steel and a crappy...
Fixed a little carburetor issue on fab32’s old sedan then took a ride out to his shop. Since the coupe is sort of running and driving I backed it...
One year ago I asked Frank’s (Fab32) widow if I could finish his coupe for Autorama? She said yes and it took me (with a lot of help) until 7:00...
I've been building fab32's five window since last February in anticipation of debuting it at the upcoming Detroit Autorama. It's getting down to...
I've decided to ditch the fenders on fab32's old coupe for its debut in Detroit. The paint is cleaning up really nice and I don't want to put...

I've been helping fab32's widow to move some of his stuff. He has two Hemis, and a local guy with an old funny car wants them. He hasn't even seen...
For the last twenty years or so Frank's five window has been sitting in the back of an 80 foot long barn. In the event the car sells it needed to...
