Do your thing Jimmy Dean
What do these three gentlemen have in common beyond the obvious . Being true to themself and their love of motorsports brought a truth and integritity to their craft that transcended the art.

Red Head
Found this pic somewhere on the interweb , I cant remember ever seeing a Testa Rosa with a roof on. This does look very cool though. If any body has a period pic of this car with a roof let me know. I have had the pleasure of standing next to one at start up and the sound of that 12 cylinder is nothing short of amazing.

Auto Vernacular
We can find many of todays automotive terminology in the pages of history. A Phaeton #539 and a Brougham #540 are still a Phaeton and Brougham. Coachwork is coachwork.

Road to Rennsport
Spent the weekend helping my good friend Ben Salazar of Der Kliener Panzers fame. He has a 12.5 sec. 105mph Qtr. mile 67 beetle street car more on that car down the road. So I helped him find this low production 69 Long wheelbase sunroof 912 a few years back. He drove the car awhile and decided to rebuild the motor. He got a hold of old big bore kit 86mm pistons and a hotter cam with straight cut gears. With a lightened flywheel and balanced & blueprinted parts this car should move well. With a deadline for Rennsport we need to get it done.
