    I would love to see someone build the Model T coupe in the 3 in 1 photo.
    Heavy chop, and a Latham supercharged Lincoln engine, if I remember correctly.
    Killer!!!

    What's interesting is there was a story about Shemp that as a teenager he was involved in a serious car wreck and never drove again after that.

    Can you imagine one of the current drivers going around a track, at speed, with one hand on the roll bar? Oh, and most likely, without power steering.

    My Brother and I spent some of the now rare silver dollars our Dad gave us at the local Hobby Shop.
    We also used the "hot knife" method to customize a few of our builds. I still have the hot knifed 57 Chevy in my collection that I built like a Figure 8 racecar back when I was 8 or 9 years old.

    1954, and proof positive that SOMEBODY, at least, customized a bathtub Packard back in the day - filled-in upper grille and two-toned with Buick side trim:
