A truly spectacular turn out of an icon of a car and driver Chris. I’ve not ever completed a rail car like this before but I’m sure this one has its challenges along the way, all of which you overcame to create this end result with. Thank you for being a part of the Red Hot & Rollin’ GB potna. I’ll get this into the gallery thread today.
PS. The reason behind the build is just as great as the build. Glad that your mom and sister are now cancer free.

First off I am very happy your sister and mom are survivors! This build must have had a special feeling doing and you knocked it out of the park. I still don't know how you got her to fit in there but you prevailed! Although not breast cancer, my wife had a battle through AML Leukemia but I am more than happy to say she is in her 4th year of remission. Congrats on a great looking and very appropriate build!

As mentioned in the other thread. Just a wonderful tribute, and so good to hear the survivor stories. Great stuff.

Fantastic! I love that era of rails and torquing the right front wheel is very cool. Great job.
EDIT: Just found out they are closing Autoclub speedway/dragway in Fontana. Bummer - been on strip and the roval many times.

I lived just down the street from Shirley's ex-husband Jack's gas station. A very unassuming place.
