    Yeah, Check out my fellow Car Club Member's ride he just finished a couple of weeks ago. He built the entire thing by himself, including paint and upholstery. It's a duplicate of a car he owned back in the late 50's. Beautiful work throughout, and I am pretty sure he is bringing it to Salina. That's him in the last pic. Nice work, Buddy!

    Mines a bit more contemporary. 45yrs ago a guy that worked with my Old Man had a 56 Meteor Crown Victoria (Canadian Ford). I bugged the guy for 2 years to sell it to me. Finally did, I loved that car. Sold it right after I got my draft notice. I want to cry everytime I think about that car.

  24. The Chris Casny (..with no E..) Coupe does it for me. When I saw the pics of the fresh paint, it took my breath away and it still does everytime I see it.

    Silva's old '34 did it for me. It took my breath away when I seen in driving down congress st. Maybe it was because it was the first day in Austin, maybe it was the mexican food but this thing just looks like a great little hot rod.

    I couldn't agree more. I love that car! I have the feature from Rod and Custom cut out hanging in my garage of that car. Great choice!
