    In my dad's later years he told a story of being on a troop ship, maybe 15 thousand men, and one ship near them was hit by a U-boat and sunk. Korean War days. My oldest brother was USAF in Viet Nam, 2nd oldest brother I watched graduate Navy boot camp in San Diego and that's what I chose after graduation, 1971. Draft was still in effect. One of my mom's efforts was mailing packages to veterans with cookies, socks, toothbrush, general things. Grew up here in Antelope Valley, and lived briefly in Vegas before, so I'm similar desert rat...lol

    I like your car and I like the detail you go into on the build. The story about your grandpa and his brother waving to each other from the bow of their respective ships was great. My dad was a gunner's mate on an LST in the Pacific in World War II. He and his counterpart (gunner's mates were paired on his ship - one was a loader, one was a shooter) remained lifelong friends afterwards.

    A special thanks to your grandfather and your great uncle for their service to this country. They were part of the greatest generation of Americans. Two of my paternal Uncles also served in the Pacific and saw a lot of action as well as did some on my mom's side. Serving on a Destroyer was really the backbone of the Naval forces of the US during this war. Those small ships bristled with firepower and did every kind of sea action. I have a special affinity for those sailors that served on Destroyers. Can you imagine being assigned to one of the smallest ships in the Navy and doing three years of constant sea duty and not coming back to the States for years. I also spent 3 years of sea duty on a Destroyer. When you go to sea on a small ship like that you know what going to sea is all about. I was a Machinist Mate and we were tasked to operating both main engines and all auxillary equipment. Main engine control of a 35,000 hp superheated steam turbine engine, aft engine room had the same set-up. Sometimes it was so hot down there that you thought you would melt. But we survived and grew old like your grandpa.

One in particular is Traitor.

    Thank you for sharing the build, and the story Steve. And thank you for your service to your dad and uncle.
    Growing up USMC, in the 80s, I remember several sailors and Marines talking with my father, about what they saw and did in Vietnam, and seeing some of the strongest men I ever met she'd tears over it, years later, still has an impact on me, to this day. They saw things most of us could never imagine, and relived then every night. That's why I always made it a point to never ask about the battles, but the funny and touching anecdotes instead.
    May they forever rest in the solace and peace, they sacrificed in life, in service to their country.

    At first glance, I thought this was just another crappy Rat Rod build. So glad I watched the whole story. What a fantastic theme, you've carried out. And...to pay tribute to Grandpa was so cool. As much as I love the louvered roof, would not work in Florida. We just had a major thunderstorm. Quite common this time of year. Is that period correct?? Will have to look back through some of Don Montgomery's books and see if there are pictures of one.My uncle was one of the founding members of the North Florida Roadster Club, while he was stationed in Jacksonville Navy circa 1950/51I've got pictures of his '32 Roadster and despite being shortened, would love to build a replica. At 86 years old, it's amazing what he still remembersThanks for sharing.JTPrez: Misfires CCOrlando FLA
