Me too on all counts! I used to buy The Rodder's Journal just to drool over some of those sleds! Maybe when I have had enough of imports, I'll dabble with one (an already completed car).

I love sleds. Sadly I come from a Buick family.
Not digging the restomod stuff at all, though. Never have.

If I was going to get a land yacht I would look more for a 40's-50's Cadillac, Packard, Hudson.
Tastefully lowered but definitely NOT a belly dragger... lowered my Miata one inch and had to creepy crawl over speed bumps, no fun. ![]()

Steve Miller's version got quite a bit of air play back in the 70s. Saw David Lindley at Jazz Fest years ago...the version you posted doesn't do him justice...imo
