ea0863 Posted January 26, 2023 Author Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ea0863 Posted January 27, 2023 Author Share 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") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Colmer Posted January 27, 2023 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
