Can you say craftmanship..........
..........to the Nth degree? You fans of FEDs will recognize the name Tom Hanna, a master fabricator who did many a fuel car back in the '60s and '70s. Well, after a few years away from cars he's been tempted back into the game. Here are some pictures of a streamliner he's currently involved in (don't know if it's for himself or a customer, maybe someone else here knows).Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

And some more.
Here's a couple links for additional grins that shows his tribute "replication" of the old Surfer's II he did in 2002. All I can say is WOW!!!

Tom does some impressive work, no doubt about that---he built the nose on our front engine dragster, Ken Ellis had built the rear body
He was next door to Geo Cerny, the painter, and I think he got a lot of body work by being there where people met him while having painting done.
He was really into horses back then and did body work to support that

Gorgeous cars... The streamliner is way kewl, but the redition of the Surfers car is beyond awesome!!! Actually got to see it in person once....unbelievable worksmanship from one end of the car to the other, and nothing on it is lacking in detailing.....
Any idea when the streamliner is going to the lake???Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Absolute master.The fab work on the frame is awesome. Then look at the exterior body panels that are already built. I only wish I could hide in the corner of this man's shop and learn. Pure Genius.

Ya know, Doug Herbert has been "slightly" talking about trrying to set a record in a "liner" for the last couple years. Anyone know if he is involved in this one? Just a thought......
