God! I have loved that car ever since I saw it in the 50s mags, and on 77 sunset strip. I thought the dup of the kookie car was the nuts. I cant wait to see this one. GO VON FRANCO Oh! the video clip was oh so cool.

 

Von Franco rules.

 

I talked to Gordini the other day,he seemed to be having trouble getting parts for the Caddy mill, hope it worked out O.K.

 

Me too!

 

Nice work Evel.

Kevin was telling me about this car. Said it was going to be exact. Well done Franco.

 

See you this weekend Franco. Can't wait to see this thing in person. Just a couple days left.......and counting. Get back to work!!!

 

Letting the cat out of the bag a little early?

Absolutely Awesome... Can't wait to see it...

I was worried the Great Gordini fell off the edge of the world...........

 

Wow...very cool video and cant wait for full spread on the new car!

Cool, I love that car, even more than the kookie car. BTW, isn't it LIGHTENING or maybe LIGHTNING bug?

 

Wait till you all see this thing it is a timewarp and it will be an awesome Fathers day gift for me to see it finished, I cannot wait until saturday. Thank you Evel.

 

I cant wait.

 

Fo' Sho!

 

Man I really enjoyed that .......

 

I have watched about 18 episodes of 77 Sunset Strip and still no sign of the car.It must have been in a few to be known as the "Kookie Car"!

 

Nice clip, Yep, the Lighting Bug rocks, but I'm a bit biased

 

Yes they are the original and I was holding my breath when we were trying to get the pipes right at the flange after someone damaged them but all was well and came out right you have to understand this is a car built around the original headers. This is history in the making and Franco is a very dedicated man and without his close friend a fabricator by the name of Dan Sigl this project would never have happened.

 

Wow, thats cool. I love that car. I hope Von Franco, or anyone in the know... keeps everyone updated on the progress. I'm really interested in knowing all the details.

 

Cool...can't wait....

 

Unreal. The Kookie T just defines hot rod, cool to see it in earlier form.

 

Franco, Oh man. I still can be schlep boy for some last minute stuff. Locked up in the garage indeed, but still found the time to help me out.
COOLSVILLE!

Great clip Evel!
I have always liked the original build better, the October '55 Hot Rod was the first vintage Hot Rod mag I bought.
Can't wait for the DVD.
Cheers
