Good thing I didn't ask about Santa Clause.

Was in the middle of the whole Cuban crisis and it left a lingering hatred for communists. Think that's why i wound up a USAF nuclear attack planner.

Frye brothers. The car in the photo won a Best Engineered award. Very cool! More photos of Frye Bros cars including early versions are here:

Also, if you enjoy "over the top" builds, check out http://twotogo.homestead.com/OtherTwins.html

Another fine example of a simple TF build that got out of hand. :-)

Could be. Given all the visible options it well could be.

(The suburban makes we wonder what happened to the one i left in Seneca Falls in early 1969. Drove it from CA to NY there to get into the USAF. Had a black and white striped rear bumper and last i heard was sold as a feed bin.)

Is this cool or what! And check out the bed, what the heck is that about? Factory option, dealer option, what is that about?

Can you imagine the jokes at the Ford dealership when their new cars were towed in by the Bowtie wrecker?
