    #896 finished

    My 33 hot rod is 99% finished. We went on Vintage Air Street Rodder tour to the "Back to 50"s" in From San Antonio, TX to Saint Paul, MN. I have had the car in three car shows, two best in class and one runner up best of show. It is faster and handles better than my Porsche 950 turbo

    If you say it did not happen I suggest you come to Fredericksburg, TX that way you can see, touch, hold what ever.

    Woohoo, there ya go. Looks excellent! Interested in the engine side vents, how did you do those? Based on the exterior, I'm sure the interior is just as great!

    I guess I need to do a Texas tour road trip and see all these finished and in-progress 33s! Just another reason to go to Fredericksburg!

    It sounds like a great trip in a great car. After thousands of miles on mine, I'm still enjoying it every time I back it out of the garage. Our seasons are shorter here, so we have to pack in as much as we can.

    Congratulations, Tom

    Very nice looking hot rod you did a wonderful job on it. I was ready for mine and getting ready to order when my doctor told me i had stage 3 lung cancer so that stopped everything. I am on my last treatment this Friday and the doctor says everything looks good. After next month when i take my last test i will order mine i have been so ready for it. I just hope it comes out as good as yours does i also will do all my work on mine. Again good job very nice.

    The car looks really amazing and our builds are very similar. I would love to make a trip out that way if the wife's health ever improves enough. I have a nephew in Fredericksburg and a cousin in Brady.
