..........to the Nth degree? You fans of FEDs will recognize the name Tom Hanna, a master fabricator who did many a fuel car back in the '60s and '70s. Well, after a few years away from cars he's been tempted back into the game. Here are some pictures of a streamliner he's currently involved in (don't know if it's for himself or a customer, maybe someone else here knows).
And some more.
Here's a couple links for additional grins that shows his tribute "replication" of the old Surfer's II he did in 2002. All I can say is WOW!!!

Impresive!! Sure would love to have talent like that!
i wish i had the talent to keep my garage that organized , look at the tools on the wall .
I wonder what it's like to have real skill like that?
i wish i had the time and money to have people pay me to do work like that if you have the money you can pay someone to cnc them nice mount plates out or buy a cnc machine and all the tools and the skilled talent were your lacking. if you have time you can be that good if you want ...it is very nice work .but i just see it diffrent then others? every time i want to do nice work bills get in the way
Tom does some impressive work, no doubt about that---he built the nose on our front engine dragster, Ken Ellis had built the rear body
He was next door to Geo Cerny, the painter, and I think he got a lot of body work by being there where people met him while having painting done.
He was really into horses back then and did body work to support that
Gorgeous cars... The streamliner is way kewl, but the redition of the Surfers car is beyond awesome!!! Actually got to see it in person once....unbelievable worksmanship from one end of the car to the other, and nothing on it is lacking in detailing.....
Any idea when the streamliner is going to the lake???

Absolute master.The fab work on the frame is awesome. Then look at the exterior body panels that are already built. I only wish I could hide in the corner of this man's shop and learn. Pure Genius.
Ya know, Doug Herbert has been "slightly" talking about trrying to set a record in a "liner" for the last couple years. Anyone know if he is involved in this one? Just a thought......:HMMM:
Doug Herbert, the Top Fuel driver that is.....
Mr. Thurm, you may already be there....Quote:
