    If you squint real hard you can kind of see a 35 in there.

    Man it would take me 3-weeks just to polish everything under the hood. That's definately a 6-man polish team car.

    Looks better than anything Detroit is putting out though.

    I know its not traditional, and I wasn't there, I have seen the car,and its deserving, as is the Greening car.
    Burman and his crew are one of the hardest workign shops out there for the few amount of guys they have thier, the shop is in the middle of nowhere, and all they do is work thier asses off in the shop.
    I say way to go Midwesteners win another big one!!

    Beauty is obviously in the eye of the 'chainer.

    Kinda reminds me of one of those Coast-to-Coast '37-'38-'39s with a '35 front clip glassed on. I'm sure it's steel, but it's just not attractive to me. There were a lot of roadsters there that had much better proportions, even if they may have not been as extensively modified and/or finished out.

    IMHO, America's Most Beautiful Roadster probably has some rock chips, oxidized metal and oil stains on the sides of the block, but it's got stance, attitude and SOUL.
     
  18. Kinda like having a showcase full of crystle. Just sits there so people can ask you how much it's worth. Like having a dog that doesn't bark. Give me a beat up model A coupe,with a nailhead anytime!

    .... I think they should have put the holes in the backs of the seats on the bottom instead, then at least it would be a comfortable place to take a dump.

    I can definately appreciate the hardwork that goes into that thing...may not be my style or anyone elses' on here but man...I wouldn't mind our shop getting paid to paint that thing
     
  23. I guess they found chocolate thunder.


    I saw that car and it didn't really catch my attention
     
  24. It's another one of those new custom made cars loosely based on early Ford styling. Probably really well done, but not me. Not that that matters in the scheme of things.

    Remember Covell's Black Fog and all the who-ha over that? Seems nothing changes.

    Why do they even bother putting headlights on those cars. they are the only thing that doesn't look right. like they were glued on a plastic model.

    Jimmie Vaughan's '54 Crown Vic and Lee Pratt's '49 shoebox won the top honors in the mild custom class. Both stunning and perfect specimens.
