On page 84 the in the current Hot Rod is a small pic of a '34 Ford coupe owned by Andy Kohlers. It says the car "features a Y-Block and Speed Demon quick-change rear". The article was about vintage car racing on the beach in New Jersey this past summer. Anybody have any details on the owner or car?

Found a lot of articles with a quick google search. If hes not one of us he needs to be! Chuck


Andy Kohler drove his hammered '34 five-window coupe from Buffalo, New York. Andy, who owns Kohler Kustom, built the Y-block-powered coupe from a very rough Fordor sedan body. Photo courtesy of “Hotrod Jen” Skidmore.

He has a website at: http://www.kohlerkustom.com/

Met Andy at Bonneville this last year in the Rolling Bones pits.  Good guy, amazing car!  Started as a fordor Sedan. w00t

Cool! And there was also '57 Ranchero in one pic, so maybe he will do that next Wink. Long time ago we had a singer here in Finland who had a song where he said: The ones who can, do what ever they want, the ones who can't, they start to teach... BigGrin

I too had the opportunity to meet up with Andy in Cheyenne Wyoming last year while on the way to Bonneville.  Andy was traveling with the Rolling Bones group in the chopped ’34 which he had made from a four door.  He left some subtle clues on the car as to its lineage but without the clues, I’d have never guessed.  A great job in making a coupe out of what he had.  And it’s Y-Block powered to boot.  Here’s a couple of pics.
