wasn't eligible for the Riddler, think it had been in a magazine already.

Congrats to Doug, super nice guy and well-deserved.

Very nice car I love all Of Johnsons builds. Congrats
But have to admit the great 8 was pretty weak this year i thought Tucci's coupe was pretty nice but this 32 was well deserved. now with that said,
still no were close to troys 56 -300 all that fab work and designing is so hard to over look,

And there is no way that 56 of troys has been in a mag already they just finished it this past weak!

But he has pictures of it painted on his website. So that disqualifies it right there. Just rule that that have to compete at that level.

you have to look at the body mods and one off's on the 32 also the ducenburg theme was killer-as much as I love first love the 56 doesn't compare to the 32 Ron

You guys need to get this months Rodders Journal. The 32 is on the cover and a full article in raw steel. This thing is BAD A$$. It should have been there in raw steel.

The frame and engine were shown at Goodguys Columbus and Troy's website had full coverage, both against Ridler rules, I think.

The owner's plan never was to have it compete for the Ridler, but instead to debut the car here in his hometown, Milwaukee at World of Wheels on Valentine's weekend. The car didn't quite get done in time.

BTW, Deucenburg is amazing.

It was a nice gesture from Troy to give others a chance to win it this year... :D

To me that Johnson car doesn't flow like some of their other creations. The craftsmanship is still top notch. :thumbsup:
