    Great craftsmanship!!
     
  4. I do like the detail work, not entirely sure on the 120% styling, but that car has some top quality workmanship and savy detail...

    Cheers,

  5. I like it... 'cept for that rear wheel well... that's a little funy and doesn't flow too well with the traditional lines of the car.

    A beauty but I wonder about that exhaust hole punched through 2/3 of the frame rail and that goofy little pinched place in the lower body bead.

    I don't think a 32 has been more fun to look at than this one. WOW what a great car.

    Nice show car. Does it run?

    I thought it was kind of funny when Glader said he was going to show his car one more year, and then he was going to get to drive it. Alas, he sold it, and never drove it. Pure show car.

    Nothing wrong with that.

    This car reminds me of the Pinkee truck, minus the horse and buggy interior.

  26. Thing is nice to look at. I like the close-out panel between the quickchange and the rear edge on the body. The stamped holes look completely vintage.

    Just wait till some jackass calls it a "nice rat rod".....

    Beautifull car though....I like the console.....The motor is absolutely perfect....I wouldn't have loomed the ignition wires together like that.....

    Thanks for all the kind words! I have more time, stress, blood, tears & money in that thing then you can imagine! It was definately worth it.

    In order to try to build a truly unique 32 (since there are a million of them), and something that could make a traditional statement in the world of two tone, billet clad fluff machines; we had to really push the boundries of creativity, design and detail. I know that by building something that is kinda over the top like this car, it is bound to spark discussion. If it didn't then I didn't do my job!



    I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO!!!!!!!!!! Holy crap! This is a HUGE honor. When I read the letter it literaly brought me to tears. I feel so honored, THANKS!!! Pretty huge for just a regular guy trying to live the dream. Kirk, let the "powers that be" know I couldn't be happier!

    And wait till you see the next one................ :)
