"Now we know a lot of you may not be into '30s hot rods, but real recognize real - the Iron Orchid (from legendary builder Dave Shuten) has an attention to detail that no one in the office can ignore. This thing is w i l d. Right down to the clear transmission cover, windows into the engine bay, OG performance parts, and more." Poster Comment: Incredible paint detail and fabrication. No new parts beyond 1965 unless he built it himself: wheels/steering wheel/shifter boot/engine/intake manifold/carburetors/etc are OLD.

Absolutely stunning and amazing, but, 800HP and no front brakes? yikes.
“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
Definitely a limited-duty hotrod: NOT for everyday use. Still, it's one slick build, I've never seen that kind of subtle fabrication and detail.
“With the exception of Whites, the rule among the peoples of the world, whether residing in their homelands or settled in Western democracies, is ethnocentrism and moral particularism: they stick together and good means what is good for their ethnic group." Bump for sneakypete, he's into these older hotrods.
“With the exception of Whites, the rule among the peoples of the world, whether residing in their homelands or settled in Western democracies, is ethnocentrism and moral particularism: they stick together and good means what is good for their ethnic group." It's only going to be driven on and off a covered trailer,so it doesn't need front brakes. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
