Great workmanship, but If I was building a retro-rod, I'd go with some wider tires, too. It looks like a totally stock resto,(externally) but I guess the guy had it built for shows. Wonder what they did for the suspension/brakes. I'd hate to drive that car with that much power, and those skinny meats.

Remember when you were a kid, and you told your dad that you absolutely refused to drive an older car? You needed something that was in style.

This just might be the car.

When I bought my 18 year old son his first car, he said he didn't want anything less than 30 years old!...and then there was a '68 Camaro in the driveway.
