    Man that thing is sweet!
    Different approach, but it reminds me of Pete Chapouris's 26 Model T.
    I'd take either of them in a heartbeat.

    Very nice rig! I like all the little details. Good windshield set up too! Pretty damn perfect all around.

  15. After running "The DUKE" at the 2020 RPM Nationals, it was decided the pissed off old flathead needed to breathe a little better ... so Walsh family friend, Cole @SlingShoter Ruchonnet was called upon to build a set of new headers ... tucked in tight to the body (to avoid the steering and the leather hood straps):

    One thing is for sure, it ain’t quiet!
