    That REALLY, REALLY cool. I mean the car is neat and all but to have friends that are so close that they are considered family and then to have Keith do this for you.......... Well, that is just about as good as life get's.

    Your a very lucky man Ryan. Good job Keith, well done!

    That's really something Ryan. There are very few cars I see here that really make me stop and look while scrolling. You're coupe did it. I'm happy for you :D

    wow......perfect.

    just. perfect.

    now lets see some shots of that sinister coupe next to your other sinister coupe.

    opening a garage door to that sight has gota be about the best 'pick me up' you could ask for.

    wow

    OK Ryan, some of us are slow and not in the know.........1) Did you know about the build? Did he give you the car?

    It is very nice! Perfect in fact!

    When somebody says "hot rod" the picture that pops into my tiny little brain looks EXACTLY like that car. Simple, purposeful, minimalist. You can tell when something is "right" and that car is exactly right.

    Congratulations.

    Ryan, that is a great story. I was even getting a little wispy reading it. Life is all about friendships...plus a bad ass car.

    Consider yourself blessed. It couldn't have happened to a more deserving dude.

    That is absolutely killer!! Friends are the best. That is what I envisioned with my coupe. Mine will never be as nice, I just hope you have as much fun with your coupe as I have with mine.

    Ryan, you deserve every nut and bolt. Thanks for being such a great friend and for the overwhelming appreciation of the coupe. I was glad to do it and even happier that you were so surprised. I was taking mental notes all along and had the picture in my brain long ago. I think it suits you. I'm glad to give it to someone who recognizes and appreciates the details.

    Your creation of and dedication to the HAMB will give hotrodding a longer shelf life than my cars ever can or will.

    Your kind words mean a lot to me and Mary. It's been a fun ride and we look forward to many more years, events, cocktails and hot rods.

    -Keith

    Keith you are an inspiration, I am so stoked for Ryan, he is a good guy, who deserves a BAD ASS HOT ROD like that one. Nice work fellas, this kind of shit is what keeps me going, friends and hot rods.

    Great looking car, I'd like to see it in person some day. The first thing that cought my eye was the rear tire to rear wheel well relationship, dead on perfect, and a very subtle chop.
     
  30. Wow, awesome story...I knew it would be :D The coupe's beautiful.

    Very nice work on the website too. It has quite a dramatic effect, especially in the photos section.
