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.
If you know any of the back story, it was Dave Walden's wife (a nurse from what I was told) that told Steven Juliano that he needed to be checked out for pancreatic cancer as she saw the signs in him which led to his diagnosis.
I'm sure that Dave knew the end was coming, but not all cancer is treatable.
Dave spent his money on whatever pleased him. What's wrong with that?
Personally, he had issues with anger to put it nicely..
