I knew the car was destroyed but damn that looked like a hard hit. Good thing the other car was at the right place at the right time and didnt t-bone him.

Wow, I've never seen that video. Lee's car was one of my favorites, it was awesome to watch that car launch.

Oh, man... that truly sucks, but I'm very glad that he was able to walk away from that. His was the '65 with the early W deck lid in Stephan's book. I remember the car, now.
Can't wait to see what he's building next.

yes I´ve heard of the crash but I thought that he rebuild the car after the crash. Was the crash to hard to rebuild the car? And whats happen then with the car?  This was a damn looking car!!! |

I saw the driver side of Lees car at Steve Tims place, he told us he was using it for a sign.
