That's a fantastic building, Terry ! The rounded glass front windows are such nice art deco/1940/1950s elements!
I also love the old Gulf, Mobil Oil etc service stations.
So was all that down in the basement part of the museum/classic car business or were these rented out to private restorers?
The 2dr Nash is another interesting car.

I just sent a pm to Jim/Highball. I know his posts have been almost non-existant lately, but he did check in on the 22nd. I just re-realized he lives in Tujunga (sp?), so at best, h couldn't have been good there with all the smoke and his COPD (like me). Sorry I didn't check earlier, Jim, old age memory strikes again.
I can do this, I can do this, I, well, maybe

My buddy built a 1931 Roadster for the Grand National Roadster Show and was invited to enter it in the America's Most Beautiful Roadster competition this week.  He crafted these beauties, along with some other jewels. 
Kenny is now in his 80's and built the car in his basement garage.  He is competing against cars built at Brizio's and Troy Trepanier's.

Question?
Did he duplicate the Ford script? If so...how? If he had it duplicated...then where?
They are definitely works of art!
Thanks.

Abe, it was the blue 31 with green wire wheels.
Hugh, I get you a detailed report how he built them, he did the air cleaners as well with his name on them.

lalessi1, Thanks for pointing out that first wagon, its a great build I mostly stared at it and thought about it. The color is like a coca-cola brownish with cream.

Here are more pic of it.  I did happen to see it on FB.  But didn't realize it would be at the show.

A couple more.  I was checking out the lower windshield trim.  I also noticed it has the shorter mirror. 
The whole dash is customized.

I watched a TV show "Hand-built Hot Rods" that features the build, very cool. I think you can still stream it. It is a very detailed car with a Jon Kaase engine and a Gearvendors overdrive...
