    Holy shit, man. I think if you would have started with nothing at all, you might have been better off.

    Fantastic work, -Abone.

    @mad mikey liked my post from July and it brought me back to this thread. I like when that happens. Thanks, Mikey.
    And you ain't kiddin'... that this is one of the best builds on the HAMB.
    The subject matter.
    The level of expertise and care.
    Now look at what's goin' on.
    Holy squawkamolies!

    You guys do really good work.
    Very inspirational.
    Awesomely so.
    I can't be more serious.
    Almost brings a tear.
    Makes me feel like, if you guys can reach the stars, maybe I can reach the moon.
    The metal stands no chance.
    LOL
    Thank you.

    Keep repeating...
    It IS worth it.

    I'm not too far north of I-69 about 2 hours East of Lansing. Middle of the thumb. Halfway between Flint and Port Huron.

    I'm gonna buy one of those when I grow up !
     
  19. There is obviously not much of the red car left other than the doors.
     
  20. It seems you bought a title, and created a car from there.
    Outstanding work!

    We saved most of the roof, the doors, decklid and front fenders. But yes sadly the car had a rough history

    @Inland empire hot rods,

    Do you have any information on the history of the car? It would be interesting to know the name of the car and who owned it and where it was raced as an A Gas Car.

    The car was named Varmit, it was last raced in Ohio by Bob Cook. It has history in CA but I can't recall that owners name.
