Yes -- Okay now I'm trackin'


Yes the '62 got sold -- because the deeper I got into it - the more I realized it just wasn't a car I wanted to build --- even though it is going to be a bad azz bubbler....


I'm a hot rodder.... and the '33 is "me".

That's the politically correct way of saying he couldn't see over the dash in the '62.

Or reach across to open the passenger door...


It does have moveable pedals (out of a late model Ford truck) and the seats are adjustable about 18" front to back...

I opened the trunk and fell in trying to reach the bottom. That was the end point.

Funny- I can totally relate to that. I love PT cars, muscle cars, cutting edge tech gear and the like but my heart belongs to my hot rod. Sometimes I just walk out to the garage, look at my '29, say "yep" and walk right back inside. On a summer night blasting down the freeway, there's just nothing like looking out and seeing that little front wheel hanging off a straight axle. Way too much fun.

EGG ZAKERTLY!!


I've owned everything -- and if I haven't owned it - I've worked on it or built it... and I love hi tech -- and I love corner carvers (own one!) and all that.... but give me a nice summer afternoon -- and I'll choose the hot rod every time. Until you've owned one -- you just can't "relate".

I have yet to actually get my little offbeat hot rod on the road but somehow I relate to this. I just hope I feel like that when I finally get it out of the shop and into the sunshine... Until then, simply seeing it in the shop definitely fills the need better any of my previous projects.

Actually watching Greg work through the issues, and finally give his impressions of driving the 32, helped me remember why I started building mine and keep pushing through when I was almost burned out and ready to throw in the towel...

Hey Greg I have a couple questions in regard to dealing with Brizio's.

Was there a waiting period before he could get you car in the shop? With such amazing high quality work and that reputation I would think he would have a waiting list.

Any talk of a time period for the build? What are the expectations?

If you want an awesome looking and styled hot rod, as well as a great driver then there isn't much better a choice than Roy. Plain and simple I am jealous! Nice choice in a car and style.
