I know it's not a boat, but some of you might enjoy this. It's a very bitchin' 32 coupe that I helped my friends Rudy & Paul do a full restoration on (back to it's 1954 racing days). Paul sold it shortly after we finished it, and apparently it's for sale again. Hope y'all like it. The car's got tons of bonafide history.

Thanks Nick, when I lived in Fullerton, Rudy was my neighbor so I helped on a lot of the cars he built, good way to lose a weekend with some cold beers, good blues and hot rods. I miss my hot rod. :'(

Here's some more we did during that time, all done in the garage at Rudy's house:
This one went to Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top:http://www.rodandcustommagazine.com/featuredvehicles/0606rc_1929_ford_roadster_av8/index.html (http://www.rodandcustommagazine.com/featuredvehicles/0606rc_1929_ford_roadster_av8/index.html)
This one was built from a bunch of stuff he and I had in our backyards, this truck set the pace for all to follow, including Jimmy Shine: http://autoculture.org/?p=734 (http://autoculture.org/?p=734)
Here's one of many chops he built, this Panhead was for our friend Paul, note the Bicentennial fuel tank, that thing is worth major money:

Here's a 51 Merc he did, he was told by Dick Dean (king of Merc Chops) that there was no way to chop it as much as he wanted to and still have it look good, Rudy proved him wrong. 5" front,6" rear:

Ah fuggit, here's a link to his website. http://fullertonfabrications.com/home (http://fullertonfabrications.com/home)
Rudy is truly one of my best friends, when I met him he was rolling a blown, 6 carbed 55 Chevy gasser with a flip front hood, as his daily driver!
Hope y'all enjoy this shit.
Have I mentioned I miss my hot rods?
