Stromtrooper has its share of fabricators (e.g., Black Lab), makers, benders, and breakers (e.g., me), but here is an example of an Arizona man who goes to extremes...
The cars are built in the shop you see. They are actual cars in every sense -- unbelievable as it may seem. Hammered out of 20 gauge metal. Every piece hand made from scratch. The Mercury has 22 thousand miles on it, It has been to Indiana. The 39 Chevy has over 40 thousand miles on it. The feller that builds them, drives them. The 42 Ford Conv. sounds like it has Glasspacks on it. Those spotlights have been built from scratch and they function. Windows roll up and down. Doors close with no effort, let go, it closes effortlessly. The bumpers, grills, everything made from flat metal. The wheels, little wheels from scratch. He even makes wire wheels, ala; 34/35 Ford, Model 'A's, etc. No stamp mill around -- just a shaper, a cutter, gas and electric welder. And needless to say a 'Good Eye'!! One of the most fabulous finds of the time. Not so much the beauty of the cars, but finding someone with the kind of magic, artistic ability, many miles out in the in the country near the town of Maricopa, Az. He doesn't do computers, but his son has a site at:
Dwarf Car Promotions: Ernie Adams Official Site . However they don't do anything commercial. He enjoys his cars and 100's of people drive out there (many miles) to see the cars. On a dirt road no less!
