When Money Is No Object

After watching a few "American Hotrod" episodes when it first went into syndication, I decided that if by some wild-*** chance I was ever given one of the creations from Coddington's garage, I'd have to get rid of it simply because of all the bad Karma that had to be built into it.

Since I don't get to see many pre WWII war trucks rodded so nice, much less one that has most of its traditional styling cues left intact & sporting a genuine Ford powerplant (as opposed to the easier,cheaper
