That '32 roadster was built by Steve Moal. He is an insanely talented craftsman. The car is amazing.

Having spent many years in SoCal and over 20 in Indy car racing and designing Excaliburs here in Milwaukee, after seeing Boyd's "dysfunctional family circus", I think I'd go to any other reputable builder before Boyd. Sorry Boyd. :wink:

& I highly doubt they would allow anything built by Boyd into PB. The guy is a hack.

I whole-heartedly agree with sdennison and ZRX61 regarding the abominations that come out of his shop.
(Not that they needed my endorsement of their opinions.)

Mudge the abominable
(WOW, that doesn't sound right.)
