    very Cool - it is terrific that he has the motivation/drive, and the bucks, to preserve/restore these historic/beautiful machines

  8. Bitchin'. His home garage is pretty wicked. That's the only one I'd seen before this. This one is nearly museum grade ..... not that his other isn't. The home garage is just quite a bit more snug. Thanks !!

    Thank YOU!
    Some day I'll ask him about a tour of his home garage.
    But for now I'm still recovering from this.

    He did wonderful things for VW guys, not usually discussed here except he did more for the dune buggy guys than anyone I can think of. I worked on lots of Manx, & we stuck a Corvair in a Tow'd.

    well... part of it would look like a Chevrolet Dealership from 1949. no fancy race cars other than vintage drag cars. and lots and lots of old style customs and HOT RODS. I could actually have this already, because very few people would know about it.:)

    Very nice!!
    I'd love a tour when you get your garage all done.
    Bruce is The Man responsible for getting Hot Rods into Pebble Beach.
    He owns the Doane Spencer roadster - The Holy Grail of Hot Rods, the SoCal Speedster & The SoCal Coupe, so he's a total hot-rod guy too.

    Thank you for the great tour! I do not know Bruce but I see him at automotive events all over the USA. I admire his diverse interests, everything from race cars, classics, motorcycles, and Hot Rods. He is a great ambassador for our hobby. Next time I see him I may just stop and say thank you.

    Thanks for the tour, got to see the '29 Bentley back in January at the Velocity TV event in LA, that is a really nice looking car, not that it is better an any of the other cars, it just grabbed me at the time. Bob
