    :rolleyes:...This is pretty darn admirable workmanship hands down...A Garage Build?...Truth is it could be...Builders have numerous credentials that could be applied to everything they do but it also could be a Higher End Shop build...but either way appreciation is the same...

    Breedlove had his shop in Rio Vista, CA for a while. I got to go there once with a friend who was doing some work for him. I also saw him run a rocket car at Fremont drag strip. He almost didn't get it stopped.

    I saw this in Search yesterday and this is in Hotrod like finding a Holy Grail...Its sad its stripped of half of much of its guts but escaped the Street Rod Ugliness remaining with the soul of its past...truly amazing...Fingers crossed the Potential New Owner understands the treasure they will inherit through purchase and respects the past Provenance ...fingers Crossed...

    @Austinrod started a Thread on it...well worth a visit...
