And you think the locals would be used to these cars but they were all gawking and smiling.
Thanks again, DK.

Thanks Rodney The billet chassis car is indeed my favorite car to drive.

The billet chassis car is featured on an 8 page spread in the September 2011 Hot Rod Magazine--along with one of our copper cars--under the heading "The Goddesses."
