Brian Thomas redefines retro rod with a supercharged flathead Packard straight-eight roadster
What makes this retro rod so memorable? Everything! It's the handmade body fabricated from a rusty cowl, two doors, and an F-100 hood.

And it's the engine: your basic everyday McCulloch-supercharged flathead Packard straight-eight. Oh, and did we mention it was built by one guy in a small garage in central Utah in less than 11 months?inline_mediumwraptextrightLong, lean, and mean.
