Car Guy ConfessionsE94 Jeff and Will Hanzel Hit the Road, Cross Country in a Hot Rod RoadsterWith Jeff Smith, Steve Strope, and Cam Benty
Presented by ARP
Special guest Will Hanzel and Jeff Smith recall their wild roadster road trip from California to Iowa and Detroit…in a 1931 Ford Roadster hot rod, the Budget Beater.
Of course the hot rod got dialed in with Currie and TCI suspension, but that didn’t help climbing mountain grades in the middle of summer or navigating gas stations on the open road.
