Road Rumblings….
We want to give a shout out to one of our local hardcore hot rodders and a good friend of our too! Curt Gibbs of Franklin TN got accepted to run at this years “The Race of Gentlemen” or TROG as it has become known these days. Not an easy feat to be accepted as there is criteria your hot rod must meet to be considered. Curt’s Roadster has the right stuff and made the cut and in June of this year, he will be racing down the Jersey Shore like days gone by. We have got his official entry card here for you to check out and a few other pictures of the roadster for you to enjoy. We’re pulling for you Curt!!
