Deuces at the Grand National Roadster Show

Fast Lane Rod Shop, and it's single owner - builder Dave lane, are named the Grand National Roadster Show builder of the year

Astonishing quailty and style has set Dave Lane apart from the other hot rod builders, Dave has been the featured in thirty-six magazines, won sixty-three major national awards, three Goodguys Street Rods of the Year (2003,2008,2011), and the 2010 Goodguys Hot Rod of the Year.

In 1999 Lane received a call from George Poteet asking him to build a 1932 Roadster, and with the support of his family Lane quit his job to follow his passion.

The 32' roadster Lane built for Poteet went on to win the Inaugural Rod and Custom Ego-Rama.
Just three years later, Lane built Poteet another award winning car, this time a 1932 Five Window Coupe, which was named the 2003 Goodguys Street Rod of the Year and won the Ford Design award at SEMA.

In the same year Lane was named the Goodguys Trendsetter of the Year.

from the company known for making taxis in France in the 1910-1930's... this terrific race car came, the 1924 Chenard and Walker roadster

 I love to find cool new gauges, and these are unlike any I've seen before

 A barometer, or an altimeter? To adjust the carbs for rich or lean?

 The speedo, tach, and gas gauges are incredible...

 Litres d' Essence wow, what a great language!

Merry Christmas from a car guy. I hope you'll give, and get great gifts, if anyone needs car guy gift ideas, let me know
