Here is a story I received today via Hagerty classic car insurance's website.
A WWII/Korean vet restored a '30s Chrysler and puts a '50s Hemi in it. Not so unusual today, but he did this in the early '60s.
And unlike the typical hot rod builds of the period, this entailed a complete restoration of a complex car (in other words, not a stripped T-Bucket).
Nice photos of his F-51 in Korea, and shots of the completed car alongside a razorback Thunderbolt in the 60s/70s.
It was eventually re-restored by a younger AF vet who got into car restoration following combat wounds.
Great story.

Can't be too difficult given their rarity.
