I was really lucky to be present during Geoff's building of the original at the time, and it's kind of interesting to see how much it's inspired others. I know G was himself inspired by many cars and TV shows at the time (Chop, Cut Rebuild comes to mind), and certainly the talents of his brother Laurie, but to see him turn a conception into reality first-hand was pretty cool. He would just think shit up and then make it happen. I remember part from Datsun pickups and MG Midgets going into the Hebrod because he could see things no one else could. And let's not mention the color. No one builds a brown hot rod, but dammed if he didn't pull it off. Genius.

Well thats got to be one of the best compliments i've ever had, Thanks jason.

The truth is that car was a team effort from all involved and I couldn't have done it without Jasons help, Gary, Gerry Dyke, Jim Coma,Russ and everyone else who helped. Thanks Guys!
