The car was purchased to be used as a daily driver and when my daughter is old enough to drive, I promised her that she would get the keys...well, my good buddy Louie Villaroel from "Rock Bottom Customs" in Los Angeles and Jaime Carillo from Covina Collision did such a nice job with the prep and paint, I was obligated to finish the car in show fashion. One thing led to another and here I was with another show car...damn. I showed it and drove it with it's original 36 horsepower drive train for the first few years, then as I was cruising along the 210 fwy...I heard some loud knocking. This was my excuse to build a big horsepower street motor and really have some fun. Four months later and WOW...what a thrill.
