I guess I've had them all- from trailered show car to the current Deuce I choose to drive.
The 40 Ford was a blown alky tube frame monster. In 5 years- I put a whopping 500 miles on it. Drive it? Where? It was 1500 hp! It won every show it was entered in. Fastest car in & out of the trailer.
The Prostreet 55. Many people know the car. It's been featured in many mags inc CHP, SC, Chevy Rumble. It won Super Chevy 4 years in a row.
Started out as a driver (that's what I promised the wife) and went insane from there. Over a 8 year period- the car was rebuilt 3 times from the frame up! All to keep the look fresh. Stooooopid!
The 32 is what? I have no clue. It's all pro built- a 1st for me! I built the other cars. It has 15,000 miles, I drive it but I can show the car w/ mirrors if I feel like detailing the bottom. Other times I enter the car & never put the judge tag on the window. Depends on the mood. Then I drive it home.
I have no idea how one would classify it- for me, I'd say it's a blast to drive!
Do they have a trophy for that class?
My car is currently over at SoCal for some insurance work. I got talking to Ryan today- the shop manager & he told me they build cars to drive.
So Ryan- looking at my car, what would you charge to build a steel Brookville or RodBods turn key car like mine?
Price? 180-200k & that's a driver!
Their show stuff is 600k to a cool mil.
