I've had many guys ask what ever happened to the Bannded-father lately.
Dude is still towering over the crowd but in a different motorsport these days.
Fulfilling the dream of owning memorabilia relating the iconic front engine dragster built in '63 by "The Surfers" Bob hasn't made an impersonation, a replica, nor a "close-to" copy of the car, but an absolute re-incarnation of the exact machine!
The connections made while in pursuit of finding or creating the required components to accomplish this has been nothing short of fulfilling a prophecy.
From acquiring THEE original mahogany mold for the one one-off blower hat, to having the hands which fabricated the original machine there at every stage to feel it, massage it, and feed it with every back story pertaining to individual fasteners, modifications to components, reasonings for the angle, pitch, tweak of every molecule the evolution of the original build etc has literally fleshed out into this machine which is already glowing with its own ora of greatness. It's in the final stages, has been assembled and is torn down to be painted etc.
It's about it get a pulse!
It all begins here...
