So, as I tried to soothe you, smooth you and help you relax, I suggested that if there was someone special nearby. Now, for this week, our Mellow Moment, I was very grateful for the company of Patty Tuite and a number from her latest album ‘Hard Case Of The Blues’, which is where I found her little gem.

Too Much Too Late – Full Flava (ft Dee Johnson) I Miss You Baby – The California Honeydrops Among the songs on the album, was Rod’s take on a favourite Bobby Blue Bland number written by Barry Goldberg and Gerry Goffin. Rod headed across the Atlantic for the jet-set lifestyle in Los Angeles, while the album was enjoying a five-week run at the top of the charts. It was Rod Stewart’s ‘Atlantic Crossing’, with its title, inspired by Rod’s departure from the UK to escape the 83 per cent top rate of income tax introduced by the then Prime Minister Harold Wilson. This week’s Tell It Like It Is brought a song with a story about the UK No.1 album this week in 1975.

I made sure there was plenty more of the ‘good stuff’ to come, including a gem from The California Honeydrops. they’re called ‘I Don’t Like Mondays’ and they were there with a little number titled ‘Fire’. Getting us off to a great start was a band whose name might resonate with a few out there in listening land. So, to help you fight back against the algorithms, I brought along an ample supply of Dr Roberts Sonic Tonic, guaranteed to raise the spirits and excite the senses.

A four-bar setup and Bilstein SN2 Series monotube shocks mounted on the drilled and dropped I-beam axle provide further stability in front, and the Unisteer Performance rack-and-pinion improves steering. David and Scott aren't the only ones inspired Steve Moal at Moal Coachbuilders has repeated Kurtis' success with this Indy-type suspension alternative and built the frontend for this roadster. Frank Kurtis' torsion bar racing chassis from the '50s provided the inspiration for the front suspension of the Martin Racing Special. The wheelbase of the modified 1932 'rails was lengthened and the track widened for performance. The custom-built Evod Industries wheels are modeled after the Halibrand magnesium wheels on mid-'50s Indycars-right down to the three-spoke knockoffs. No fenders cover the 5.50R16 and 7.00R17 Excelsior Stahl Sport Radials from Coker Tire.

Three of the roadster's most prominent exterior attention-getters are the louvers (almost 300 of them), Bonowski's custom blue paintjob (with mustard yellow and red beltline striping), and the incredible tube headers created by Gerome Rodela of Rodela Specialty Fabrication. Guide headlights, Alfa Romeo taillights, and '50s-style Radyot repro mirrors call out the roadster's early sports car and racing influences.

The Deuce grille and shell were shortened an inch, and the fabricated aluminum hood top and sides were lengthened 3 inches. The body reshaping includes handmade suicide doors, 6 inches longer than stock and shaped reminiscent of 1933-1934 doors. Spectators at the GNRS started with its outward appearance, so we will too.
