"I've built cars that really go well, but not one that wheel-stands. I was gonna put a really nasty engine in it, like a 500- or 450-horsepower small-block Chevy with injection and get to experience what it is like to do 11 seconds or 10 seconds and also have it slightly streetable as well, and one that I built completely from the ground-up."
"I just couldn't get over chrome. How did you find it in you? Why would you chrome an engine? That fascinated me. Why would you chrome an oily engine? It's a rusty, oily thing. It opened up my eyes to a whole different culture."
"It usually starts with a spare frame, and that's the curse, because if you've got a spare frame, you know you're going to build another car. And then a guy sells you a body, but he's got the frame for it. So, you always have a spare frame."
"It wasn't until about 1968 or 1969 that I learned to weld and that's when it took off. It was a hot-rodder I met in Boston. I was looking in the window of a speed shop and he pulled up in a T-bucket and I went, 'Oh, my God,' and he spent my summer break teaching me to weld. I learned everything about the basics of hot-rodding from a T-bucket."
"It's just a square frame with a glass body on top of it and an engine, and what you do with it is up to you as long as it's engineered well and starts and goes. It's the basics, nothing else. No fancy stuff at all. I'm comfortable as well. Now it's about heated seats and automatic mirrors and all that. It's utterly and completely not necessary at ...
"It's no doubt that people are addicted to driving. When you put the pedal to the metal and go faster than you could normally walk, and you can go places miles away, it's a novelty, and that's why people can't stop driving. It's still the most amazing adventure you've ever known, isn't it?"
"Unfortunately, in England, wherever you go you're going to get a traffic jam. But I'd love to do that. I've never been to the salt flats. I know Charlie Nearburg, the record holder, and he said I can drive it."
"I like to get the nasty jobs done first. The frame is the backbone of any car, so the frame comes first."
"I didn't go to movies that often—I still don't like movies. I only go to the ones that everybody raves about. But I think it was the secretary of my manager who said, 'Have you seenAmerican Graffiti?' and I said, 'Nope.' When the car crashes into the restaurant at the beginning, I said, 'I'm hooked. My movie.' And when the car parks at Mel's Drive...
"The question was, why did it look that good? Everything about that car was spot-on. Pat Ganahl took me to see it and my whole world stood still when I sat in it. Making it look like it did—the glamor of the camera and all the color and all that. I'm still trying to get it right. But it's pretty damn close. Why I'm doing it, I don't know."
