My girlfriend's stepdad is one of the baddest MF'ers I have ever met. He's building a model A street rod, and he built the frame from scratch, put an IRS out of a Jag in it, and it's got a 600 horse blown 383 going in. I helped him pull the body off the frame so he could finish weld it and get it media blasted. He made a lot of the body parts (firewall, floors, roof is from a donor,) chopped it, raised the rear wheel opening 2 inches, fitted the doors to the body so they don't overlap the 1/4 like they did originally, etc etc. And he's super modest about it. Like it's no big deal. I can't wait to see this car done. He's also got a Cuda that might be done someday too. He backhalfed it and built his own 4 link.

Yeah, kinda typical, but it's still cool. I just think it's badass he did it all himself. I wouldn't even know where to begin on building a frame from scratch. I guess at his work they have a giant surface plate, and he built it on that, but still...
