    Hey Ryan, Thanks for giving us a snap shot of the show. It was a toss up between #3 and #7 for me. #3 won.

    This Tub is awsome, nice to see something other than a Duece or a 33-34. Seems everyone has one. Number 2 has my vote.:D:D

    Tom Branch.... Just too Classic to ignore. If it wasn't on the list then I'd go with the Dana Harvey car, hands down.

    Thanks for putting this on, Ryan, It's pretty cool to be able to be part of this.

    "JUDGE NOT, LEST YE BE JUDGED! "..
    oh ya
    I voted before looking at any of the comments so my decision would not be influenced by the "gang" ........... "SEVEN".............
    Squirrels answer to almost all "THE HARD QUESTIONS!" !


    ALMOST ALL THE PICS HAD THE SAME ANGLES AND SAME GROUP OF SHOTS , ENGINE , INTERIOR REAR, ..........
    MAKES THE COMPARISONS EASIER
    POSSIBLE BUILD SHEET WOULD BE A HELP .?

    NOT COMPLAINING HERE BOSS
    JUST LIKE THE WHOLE IDEA AND THE PROGRESS
    REALLY FEELS GOOD TO BE PART OF THE ANSWER......... NOT A QUESTIONABLE PROBLEM..

    What's the deal with car #9 having different wheels on each side of the car? Geez, make a choice and stick with it. This car had my vote until I saw that.

    Thanks for the kind words Bad Bob and everyone else! And thanks Ryan for choosing the Dana Harvey 33 for this. Its weird, I spent all day yesterday sitting in the booth across from the car, It finally dawned on me ITS DONE! We have put some serious hours into that car, I wish I had some pictures of what we started with.
    Thanks

    I love Toms roadster, but after seeing that tub in person, no contest.

    The 27 tub (car#2) has got a lot of Richie Willett style in it. Even a little bit of Ritchie Willett should put it over the top so I'm voting for #2.

    #3 or #7? They both have the little details that are hard to notice, that take the car to that next level.

    But, with the Tom Branch roadster it has been nice to watch it evolve into what it is now. I first saw it at Bonneville in 01' with bare metal and missing patch panels, and now look at it. Also, it is sotra' like the members on the HAMB. Not on the main floor of the "roadster show" just off in a side building without the mirrors and hoopla'.

    The dash/doors alone in that '33 deserve some sort of award.

    Wow , I couldn't be more honored to be included in this wonderful group of rods I was gob smacked when I got to #9. I'm genuinely honored guys. Tom Branch for me.

    Henryj my car is called the Scizophrenic roadster , Dry Lakes racer & 40's Hot Rod, I just tried to inject some humor into the show. It will be all 4 '39 wheels next week :) honest ;)

    Is it ok that car number 5 is a previous winner in the comp class for '56 & '57 I think? This is an incredible selection and I am going wait till I get there to nail my vote down. I'll cast it later tonight.
     
  19. Thanks for the pictures of some beautiful roadsters, every one of them is a potential winner. Letting us vote is a great idea though, being there would be the best. I had to go with #3, of the group, it just looked like the right ride to me.

    AMBR...an extremely high quality roadster that epitomises all things Hot Rod....craftsmanship, power, speed, beauty, in one package.

    Best of the best...#1 gets my vote.

    One car reminded me of the cars on the covers of the little magazines I had in my school notebook. #7

    Long time reader, first time poster. I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to talk with me yesterday at the show Ryan. It's really cool to meet a hero when he turns out to be everything you've built him up to be. Really humble guy.

    Thanks again for the coke.

    All the cars were amazing! I love #7 but I have seen it for a few years now and it keeps progressing, looks geat! But #3 is hands down the winner for me!! Leave it to C.C.H.R. to build a another home run, the color, the stance, the dash, the headers, and it has a HEMI! All of them are great cars but the Dana Harvey roadster does it for me.

    I think there needs to be a 'None' box to check. Almost all are too cute

    Little to "Look @ my money". :)

    Too many 'Traditional eye-candy' glued on! Except for two of them that are just dumb!
