You know there&#8217;s a story there and we aren&#8217;t disappointed. This 1932 Hot Rod Ford roadster is original 50s customized steel resurrected by the guys at New Metal Kustomz. The show card says the original Sylvester debuted at the 1962 Grand National Roadster Show, but since then has been, &#8220;&#8230; traded, sold, disassembled, and stored for 40 years.&#8221; Nowadays, the 401 Nailhead powered hot rod wears some slick looking, and cream filled, headers. You know for the new rules, the AMBR cars must be driven in. Bet those headers are fun to clean! I&#8217;m hoping for a feature on ole&#8217; Sly this week for more of the story.<\/p>\n<p>This just in! Sylvester won 3 big time awards at 2012 GNRS: Best Paint, Best Engine and Best Undercarriage.

We&#8217;ve got another 5-speed, not to mention another quick change rear, but this one&#8217;s a prototype from Riley with overdrive.\u00a0 Here&#8217;s a case where we need some video of this thing running.
