    There have been a ton of great cars over the years. Some of the most influential roadsters in my life have been. Some since childhood, some as recent as last year.

  5. Some legendary Roadsters for sure. These were built in our Hay Day prior to the Billet and no Chrome crowd. You all know how I feel about Norm's roadster. The 5th roadster down with no name attached to it belongs to Sedric Meeks. I've been lucky to be able to watch him grow up. He has learned well. I'm proud to be his friend.

  14. The Grasshopper looked good restored in 2015 when we were there with the 56.

    Amazing choices so far. I am gonna throw in the Edelbrock roadster as one of my all time favorites.
    It's simplicity is striking. In my opinion the perfect '32

    I love so many, an each has a super combo of cool.
    Only a few things kick some down, pretty low on my less liked list>> Flat paint used as a finish ,cowl steering, Moon tank on a street driven rod{not a drag racer}, Big old headlights ,used on rods with Over head valve V8s as power.
    Even so,love rods an customs,that I often can find cool* hiding some were on each one!!:D:cool:
