That car was built by my friend Bob in Los Olivos, His son painted the car and was his first paint job (complete), i watched that car from start to finish and watched it collect trophies at every show, took street rod of the year along with thousands of other awards, windows are all air operated, just freakin awesome work, you should see the packard this guy built and anow hes working on a old stude truck.

no problem. I said...
"Custom designed by Chip Foose, metal work and body, by Sam Foose. Car completed by Bob Bruhn and Sam Foose."
Then Flatnfast said...
"That car was built by my friend Bob in Los Olivos".
I can only assume Flatnfast knows Bob Bruhn. He finished the car (a custom design by Chip Foose), with Sam Foose.
Clear as mud?

I called a friend about your dads car. He says your dad has been trying to trade him for a couple of his cars, one being another 40 Ford. Jim said he would be afraid to drive a 165k car. I guess he has seen the car and says it's top shelf. Just to much for him. I tried.
Late, Mike
