    I'm looking for info on a car Bob built back in the 80's - if anyone knew him or has info on the whereabouts of his old yellow '33 3W, please let me know.

    Wasn’t he the Invisible Man?
    Science fiction, double feature.

    I know of a Memphis Raines, car thief. No help but it will bump you back to the top.

    No, that was Claude Rains that played the Invisible Man...but I haven't seen him in a while. (get it? because he's invisible.)

    Good for a bump though...

    ...If it helps your search, it's Silver Spring, Maryland not Silver Springs.

    May have been this car. It was on the T-shirt for the Laurel, Md. show in '92. I knew 2 separate owners of this car, but neither was Bob Raines, although he may have built it. 20230518_091257.jpg

    It was an off-topic steel '33 3W - Craig Naff built an incredible aluminum nose and hood for the car...

    no info on the '33 but maybe it might ring a bell with someone else that he was also the owner of the 62 corvette called cherry smash that won awards that was in/presented at world of wheels events.
