The best thing about this car build is just the way it affects everyone that sees it. Whether it's a 60 year old man who compares it to what "hot rods" were when he was  20 year old, or young people just getting into the scene that are amazed and inspired, the car gets a great response. It means even more to David given that he did most of the work in his own garage.
