    Steve's a closet HAMBer.

    Street rodder featured all six of his quirky little modifieds last month.

    Again, congrats!

  2. Always dug his creations. Didn't he do a yellow one 15 or so years ago as well?

    I saw the article too and studied that last car for quite a while at the hotel in Columbus last year. The one thing I wondered was whether these are all still in his personal possession?
     
  5. No doubt about it,,Steve definitely thinks outside the box and pulls it off ever time! HRP

    I'm real happy for you,Steve. I love your cars and they have more entertainment value than just about any hot rod I can think of. The coverage was very good...and much deserved.

    You are a true artist and a class act, buddy.

    I didn't know the last one was Steve's. That is a crazy son of a , and I would love to see the rear engined one someday. I have gotten to see the other ones. He always inspires !

    When someone tells me that Steve thinks outside the box, I usually say WHAT BOX? A well deserved spread on a true Genius..... No Really a Genius!

    Not great,but that wasn't really the point of the build. It's really more of a working sculpture.

    Steve has a flathead powered, conventionally built '32 fordor that he drives all the time,and the roadsters are more of an abstract art form.

    Cool guy, only ever seen the one car in person, the first one…. O’Bannon’s saw it, fell in love with it then, helped him roll it up on the trailer for the trip home after it’s initial showing in Syracuse! Still a great looking car!
     
  20. It looks like all these cars are coming up for auction,
    Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale 2025 Collector Cars01/26/2025 12:00 PM MST Lot # 48 through 50.2. Lot #50.1 can be skipped over. I'd sure like to have 3 of them, the purple one, the grey one, and the red one.
