Question for Ben Hermance

[John McIntire]

Saw your rendition in the back of the latest PHR and it looks great, very different.
My question is, is that a car you are building, or was that done for a customer?
Anyways, great job! It's nice to see you getting a little more press. Just don't forget about us little people! Guess I should get that rendering soon!

Hey John, thanks for the kind words! Little people, are you kidding, I'll always be a little person just like everyone else. Though, my wife seems to be hinting I could stand to lay off the pasta and crusty breads! LOL

That project was something I've been cooking up for a while and would love to build or see built in the future.

Steve Rupp gave me a call and asked if I would like to submit a design for a new feature in PHR. It took about 3 nano-seconds of consideration before I said yes. With this particular car Steve suggested that we depart slightly from the PT treatment and I jumped at the chance to do something with a bit more rubber under it. PHR is a great mag with a great base of readers, I couldn't let them down. I hope there's something for everyone in it.

If anyone want's to take a stab at it, be my guest as long as I can the first ride!

[John McIntire]

Nice!
Oh And I also saw your rendering in Hot Rod too!
"Slo-Touring" seems like a cool concept for a daily driver!

Yeah, it's always cool to do a project that's off the beaten path. It's what I'd like to call a "diversifying my portfolio"....sorry for the lame artist humor, couldn't help it. [crickets chirping]
