"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."

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.

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.

It's only going to be driven on and off a covered trailer,so it doesn't need front brakes.
