Camt wait!

All of the depth.

glad to see this car being brought back from the dead so to speak, some amazing time, work and of course money spent.

Respect

[TruTaing]

I love how the rear sub frame is so much higher than the square tubing for the floor. Previously, this car chopped the roof, now its raising all of the suspension, and throwing in a dry sump to be even lower and meaner looking. cant wait for more updates. f5f5f5f5f5f5

in depth look, and I dare say personnal look inside this build, would be the best! Also maybe some story telling and pictures of fun having, wreching guys with black faces.

Today, I saw Rusty in the flesh, so to speak. I also met Mike and Byron.

Today was a good day.




To elaborate, Rusty, Mike and Byron are currently in Germany where the car is displayed at the H&R booth at the Essen Motor Show.

I had a look at the car today, Mike and Byron (whom I can now say are both great guys for sure) showed me some details and I took some pictures of it.

All I can say is, this is not a mere car. This has evolved into a piece of art. A beautiful monster of a car.

To any nay-sayers of this car, I urge you to go look at it in person before making a judgement. Looking at it on pictures is one thing, seeing it in real life is quite another. This is definitely a car that needs to be seen in person to really 'get it'. Pictures don't do it any justice.

Hats off, Mike and Byron and anyone else involved with the project!

Man, I'm so jealous!

Thanks for the photo! I just love this car so much.

This thing better end up in England at some point, would be crazy seeing something to significant in the flesh

It was good meeting you finally Bastien, thanks for the kind words and great pictures. I'm glad H&R gave us the chance to bring the car out here and show it off to its European friends, but I'm getting antsy now to get it back to CA so we can keep working on it and get it driving finally.

I wish rusty could make a trip back to his roots in TN so I could have even the slightest chance of seeing him. Oh well. Maybe one day

[SpaceCowboy]

Any other car or idea seems boring after seeing this beauty!
This is the sickest thing I've ever seen!

Great report!

[z168]

Good write up. Any pics of the rear?

[Scape-Zs]

Would love to see this thing in person.

Like Bastien says, you have to see it to 'get it'. Well, i saw it... and i got the chills. A revival of a car most thought never to see again. And with the whole background, it's not just 'a car', it's a story told to viewers by the welds, the corroded panels.

This car, amongst a few others, was the best i've seen on the show
