Hi,
Restomod???
"I got my friends at GM Design to do the exterior and my friends at Alcoa to do a hydro-formed chassis and wheels!
It's amazing what virtually unlimited $$$ can do!
Regards,
Alan

He actually says he's the president of the more money than brains club.
I'm sure Jay Leno has made a lot of money as the host of the Tonight Show and doing stand up. He has no children and sure doesn't seem to be a party animal. Several years back I had a conversation with Mike Copeland at SEMA when he was still working for GM. He said nothing but good things about Jay Leno and said they enjoyed doing projects with him. He more than pays his own way and is very generous to the project people. He sure seems like he enjoys the car hobby (and motorcycles) so it would seem to me he is living the American dream.
