Had a random encounter with Joe Moreno the builder of cars like lost Art,Spirit of America and countless others!The strange thing is i was just reading the post of the burnt lost art car that was purchased in Wa. Then i ran into this Guy today driving a 32 roadster (with a top that was perfect).He invites my daughter and i to his House and as im coming in the door he asks if i like customs...I say "yes" and he says "I hope you are wearing a diaper" i didnt quite understand then we entered his garage and I got it real quick! I about shit my pants! Joe is a real Cool guy with alot of stories! He opened up his home to me and im very appreciative of that! Heres a few pics to hold you guys over till i can get a detailed post together...Today was a good day! Hot Rod divine intervention!

You won't beleive this but, my friend was in the states in may and bumped into this old dude that invited him over to shoot the breeze and check out his cars.. He assured them that it was a short drive. So after an hour and a half they arrived there and the old dude had this meg arat rod parked on the front lawn.. Then he invited them inside and they couldnt believe there eyes ...He was Joe Moreno and his wife phyllis...
Damn...Very cool! By the way, was the picture of the snow mobile dragster the original 'Pulsator'? I had heard it was turned into a ice dragster at one time, but did not believe it, that picture makes me wonder?
