Brizio Street Rods

Found this via http://oldstyle-vw.blogspot.com/

For those not into street rods and such like the name will probably be unfamiliar, however if you know the scene you'll know the name.  Roy Brizio is one of the most respected rod builders in the US of A.  The shop is the stuff of legends and the cars it produces are the stuff that prize winning dreams are made from.

So having been put on to it by Oldstyle VW, it was time to do some digging.  Here for your reading pleasure is the result :

If you are feeling spendy and want to get something built (or you just want to browse around like we did) the website is here : http://www.roybriziostreetrods.com/home.htm 

And finally Car Guy Channel have done a profile of the rod shop and the man himself which is well worth 10 minutes of your time. 

Here is a great photo of Troy Trepannier showing Roy Brizio around "First Love" one of the finest custom cars ever built in my opinion.
