This hiboy is an attention getter. People walk by the shiny, cookie cutter 32's to look and photograph it. It is painted to represent an old dirt track barn find. The paint was applied by an actual artist for himself. It is not several shades of primer sanded off to look old. This is so real you can feel the rust, see the cracks, the tire rubs and the fading is as though it actually accumulated over the years. A number of painters have studied and photographed it, hoping to duplicate it. All said they did not know how it was done.
It is an extremely reliable street rod with 40,600 miles on it. The previous owner personally put 20,000 miles on it and it has never let him down. I had a great ride from Lethbridge to Kindersley SK, Calgary plus other destinations and is a very comfortable road car.
