Dave Lane also has a Master's degree. It just took him twelve years to realize what he really wanted to do with it.

His 1932 Ford names "Delivery", the 2008 Goodguys street rod of the year took two years to complete. Lane does pretty much all the work on every car by himself. A true perfectionist.
