There was a similar one tooling around Pittsburgh a few years ago, 'secpt it was a rat rod, and, I think, it had a big Cat engine. Looks like this one is a V12 of some Pedigree or other ------------- I am still confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Ps 27 |

Trace, he is an amazing individual, He has done the majority of the work and has had all the engineering info in his head. He built the headers which the down pipes are coated with an ultra high temp finish, the exhaust pipe is tapered stainless steel that he tapered and polished, the front suspension where shock is attached is polished stainless, it is truly a work of art. The rear fenders were to wide so cut removed the center and welded back, and I saw those in person before primer and the weld seam was almost undetectable. Oh by the way he worked in the furniture industry as a plant manager, and is only 76 yrs. old.
