It’s the end of day two at SEMA in Las Vegas and the sheer magnitude of this show is only just starting to sink in. We’ve seen some pretty interesting things in the last 24 hours, so you can expect a variety of articles coming your way soon. But for now, I just have to show you this!
Earlier this afternoon I went in search of something that JD Youngblood had mentioned he was putting together. JD and his father Don built the RB-powered ’32 Roadster that we featured last week; but now stood here on the Brookville Roadsters stand I’m getting to see their next project: another all-steel ’32, but this time with a 1000hp Toyota 2JZ engine. JD’s sister ‘Hot Rod Ali’ who drives the RB-engined car (and now this one), is on hand to modestly tell me that she hopes to make it into the 200mph Club at Bonneville with it. I love that. I also love the fact that this has been built for drag, salt and drift duties. Anybody want to see an American hot rod icon going sideways? We do and we’ll show you too…
