Hey Guys,
Is the Street Rod Nationals in Louisville the Granddaddy of all events or is it just me?  This is by far and away my all time favorite event, hands down.  Kimberly and I want to give a great big ol' THANK YOU!!!!!!!!  to our gracious host Mary Ann and Jack Lawford for giving us the opportunity to bring this coverage to everyone.  If you missed this show�...what were you thinking????  Just kidding�.this is a must see event.  If you've never been to the Nationals, no one can ever explain in words what a big deal you're missing, but a couple of hundred pictures might possibility give you an idea.  It was good to see the BIG CAT again and finally meet the one and only Jack Roberts and wife Minnie.  Hey guys, I wonder�..if we cloned Minnie...do you think we could all be as happy-go-lucky as Jack?  They are a fun couple to be around.  Next up we will be in Evansville for the world famous FROG FOLLIES.  If you see us walking around with the HOTRODHOTLINE shirts on, feel free to make sure we got pictures of your car.  Now on with the show�.Butch

This piece of automotive history started life as a '47 Kaiser/Frazier!

Then around '53/'54 was customized using a collection of parts from Chevy, Ford, & Dodge along with what looked like a few aircraft parts thrown in for flavor.  The owner found the custom in this condition and with only minor changes managed to get it back to life to enjoy for years to come.  It's definitely one of a kind!!!
