This is especially cool for me, since my Dad built a '33 Ford Roadster when he was in his 20's...he still talks about that car. Weighed less than 1500lbs, so he could legally run it w/out bumpers. Chopped, channeled, and pushing 650+ to the wheels. Almost all the parts for the car were purchased from members of the Hell's Angels...and when serial numbers were checked by CHP officers, every part was clean! Unfortunately, he got rear-ended by an old lady in a Lincoln Continental - pushed him under the rear end of the semi truck that was sitting in front of him...lincoln's bumper was touching back of Dad's bucket seat and top of roadster was sheared off when the car got shoved underneath...Dad got away w/ a broken nose, but the Grandma had no insurance, so I think he got $2,000 out of the deal...sad, but true. I think I might have to convince my 66 yr old Dad that we need to start a "father & son" project in his garage...because this is just too cool :-) [ http://www.factoryfive.com/hotrod/update/oct08/hrlaunch.html ]
