Since the day I completed my first hot rod build from scratch, as a gift for my father, I knew I had to build another. Two years after becoming a vintage aviation structural mechanic, a crazy idea struck. Create something that combines my passion for hot rods, WWII aviation, and WWII military vehicles. Three and a half years later, with over 3,500 man hours and more than 4,500 hand shot and bucked rivets, I’ve completed my vision. I hope this piece brings as much joy and excitement to WWII enthusiasts as it does me.
