    Our own member (thirtytwo) has built and sold some very cool hot rods for a long time. One of the most recent is now a cover car. He doesn't own it any more but I will stand up to anyone that says he didn't build it. Look for the black coupe on the cover of streetrodder and the 2009 calendar. Congratulations Eric, you build some really cool shit. Hope will are still friends after this:D

    Awesome car... Sort of sucks that it's on the front of the calender, but not featured on any of the months. That's one I'd like to look at all month long.

    Loved that issue and that car. Couldn't figure out the missing hubcaps. But then It was hard reading the article when there are such nice pictures.

    Yeah I read that article. Beautiful car. I'd lose the hubcaps up front and just run with the steel wheels.

    i was a bit disappointed in the street rodder article ... i felt the car was finished ,and it kinda made me out as a putz that abandoned a project...( i never knew wheel covers valvecovers and a shift knob was what it took to finish a car!) but still cool to see it in a magazine... dispite what they say i intended to build a 32 chevy not try to make a chevy a ford.... ever...since i saw cole fosters 32 chevy 10 years ago i kinda wanted to do something similiar with my own twist...... it was kinda a knee jerk reaction to high priced ford stuff i wanted to prove something nice could be built from otherstuff than ford, but thanks for the kind words guys!

    You guys are a tough crowd..... Maybe I can can agree for a moment that the caps don't enhance the car, but hey, I like them. I don't take credit for building the car, but like all of you....I think it's awesome. Eric deserves the credit for building it.....no doubt. The Street Rodder article is just my story on how I came about owning it....nothing more. I'm proud of it and think it deserved Street Rodders attention.

    That coupe is pretty awesome. I've seen the black truck at BTTF's and World of Wheels last year, seems like its been for sale for a long time. Where are you located in MN? I am down in Mankato at MSU.
