Was that shock or emotion on her face in the presentation photo?

One of the best looking roadsters ever! What beautiful colors. Was that you or Brizio that put the color pallet together?

Congrats! That's FOREVER brownie points for sure!

First off -- Thanks to everyone that has commented here. I wasn't even going to post up that the little hot rod was in a magazine... But I appreciate Ken's posting it up. It's a hot rod - not pro-touring... so doesn't really fit the forum. I still appreciate all the nice comments - and we're all "car guys" so I'm happy many here recognize this.

The color combination was taken (stolen?) from a build that I saw at The Grand National Roadster Show. This color combo - and in fact, the actual body color - was on Phil Remington's Tribute car - a '27 track nose T. The owners were kind enough to actually remove a panel from the car to send to us so we could duplicate the color. Sid Chavers chose the interior color used - which is a "toned down" version of the combo on the Remington car. I had chosen a brighter more lipstick red. His was/is a far better reddish maroon color and really fits the car well.

The wheels were taken (stolen) from Tom Gloy's '32 build... with his gracious permission. They're billet pieces (one piece) and are pin drive.

The lines of the car rest squarely on Roy Brizio's expertise in adapting my "wishes" and making it happen. I asked him for a "traditional build - with attitude"... Thus the louvers - and skinny tires - and quick change and straight axle combo -- but with the rake built into the body via chopping the grill, and the "chopped top" (the top is stock as comes on the American Speed '33) look to add some attitude.

Cool car. Congrats. It does not matter if its pro touring or not IMO.

Thanks guys! She's loving the attention! LOL

I've had people I haven't talked to in a couple years calling after seeing the article and that's cool!

We are all circling the drain Enjoy the ride. It's cool to see dollar bills turned into sweet rides like this that bring joy. Can't drive a money clip.
