Bill makes it to the Red Neck Rumble

Here's part of the story..

I did get a nice compliment while at the show though. A fella walked up to me while I was tinkering with the engine at the show and offered me $22,000.00 cash for the sedan. I told him he was a little short from what it would take to buy it and besides I did not think he had the cash on him any how. Well.... (open mouth insert foot) he advised me that he had just sold his 1968 Camaro SS and the lump in his pocket was not his manhood. LOL Oh well, he was not offended and he told me that the color of the car was awesome. I heard that over and over at the show, I personally can not stand it but everybody kept saying that it was old school colors. It is still going to get a new color change as soon as I can make it happen though, believe you me !



.
Bill recieved his double Z'd frame ,front axle assembly,and rear suspension parts at the first of March
of this year. So you can tell he's been working hard.

One of a kind

Last week was the "Colorado Grand" a 1000 mile rally event for early sports car and racers.
I was involved in a small way.We supplied all new brakes for the Tommy Lee Special.
The drummer for Motley Crue...no.
It is a one of a kind car built for the playboy in 1936 with Ford,Cord,Cadillac parts
And powered by a Offie engine.
I've known about and admired this car for the last 30? years.
Got to meet the new owner Fred from Canada ,great guy,very friendly and personable.
I even sat in the car.I would never do that.But this time...glad I did. (didn't fit very well)

I overheard someone say,"my friend has two of these"

louvers a after thought? The hammer welding on the
bottom side was super,didn't show up well in pic.

the rear fenders are breath taking
or maybe it was the altitude? 8000FT

DuValls very first windshield

long hood swoopy fenders to the extreme

Steve and I had fun figuring out how the grill was made
I always thought it was a cast piece,it's not

Can you spell Offenhauser ?

Cadillac banjo wheel

R.I.P.

I just got word that Bob Frank from JW Rod Garage passed away last Sat.

One big reason I like what I do so much is the guys that I deal with.
I have vendors that I talk with weekly,some daily.
And Bob was one of my favorites,we always joked around on the phone.
Our careers had similar paths,and we shared many stories of crazy customers
or shipments gone bad. Stuff like that.
I'd reconize his voice on the phone.Sorry to think I wont get to hear him again.
I had never met him in person,don't even think I ever saw a photo.But none the less
he was a friend and I will miss him. R.I.P.
