Talked with Mr. Walden during and just after the car's build. To say that he was committed to bringing this one to life was an understatement. "Hell-bent" is more like it. I didn't feel like I was talking with a gearhead, more like an artist. I agree, visually the car is off to me. But you have to admit that he went full-kill in bringing the car to life.
WHY?
Please keep in mind that he had brain cancer? It affected him.
And I suppose his family or friends had no say in what he was spending hugh money on. Then he should have donated all that money to cancer research.
