ea0863 Posted January 26, 2023 Author Posted January 26, 2023 Okay, so money is no object. What would you build? For me, it would be this '54 Corvette ZR-1!

ea0863 Posted January 26, 2023 Author Posted January 26, 2023 '69 Roadrunner pretty much in name only. "Sweet N' Lo" should be its name!

ea0863 Posted January 26, 2023 Author Posted January 26, 2023 (edited) HRM May 2012 had a little trip down memory lane with the Bill Mitchell '60 Pontiac X-400 concept in the background, and the Mickey Thompson '60 Assault I dragster in the foreground. The 1960 X-400 in the photo would was apparently based on the Bonneville Of the other X-400's referred to, the '62 is a Grand Prix '63 X-400 is working up to a GTO '64 X-400 has all the earmarks of that wonderful GTO design As for the MT Attempt I referred to above, it can be had in scale model form...

ea0863 Posted January 26, 2023 Author Posted January 26, 2023 Troy Trepanier '69 Ford Torino in bare metal. Oh how I wish they would have just clear-coated it so we could enjoy that metalwork forever! HRM September 2012 1
ea0863 Posted January 26, 2023 Author Posted January 26, 2023 And if you think your scale model builds take forever, here is the "Indy Speedster V8" lovingly built one handmade piece at a time by a gentleman named Jackie Howerton, purchased by one Bill Lindig, turned over to Pete Chapouris and the So-Cal Speed Shop for completion, motor completed by Art Chrisman, and winner of AMBR 2012. And all that only took 18 years! HRM September 2012
ea0863 Posted January 27, 2023 Author Posted January 27, 2023 HRM February 2013 had a drawing come to life; in this case a Thom Taylor wedge-shaped '32 roadster brought to life by Dan and Ashley Webb, along with Craig Naff. The style was reminiscent of a couple of '34 Fords done by Darrell Zipp (and known colloquially as "Zippers")
Scott Colmer Posted January 27, 2023 Posted January 27, 2023 If you look up Hand Built Cars on youtube and then start scrolling back, you can see a full build up on Troy's Torino. There are other great ones too. Thom's 32 is the best! 1
Scott Colmer Posted January 27, 2023 Posted January 27, 2023 That mid engine Mustang is another one on Hand Built Cars. I was hoping to see it here.
