cannot take credit for! The 1954 Victoria chop top custom lead sled we presently own was the brain child of Lyle Wadrif of Eustis Fl. and Bill Blutch of
Englewood Fla. Lyle told me he spent over 2 weeks just on the metal fabrication on the hood pancaking it then cutting welding and fabricating the custom eyebrows. Bill also did much of the highly skilled customizing on the car. Being a two time World of Wheils Vlfinner, in Tampa with his 77 Firebird and 46 Ford.
Lyle and Bill also received help from three highly respected and skilled car builders. Bill’s son Dale Blutch of Venice did much of the welding and fabrication extending the rear quarters and molding in the Packard tail lights.
Ron Jamison of Englewood put this talent to work on the old Ford for many years. Spending days at
a time under and inside customizing. Ron Franklin of Englewood Fl. also contributed his building skills chasing modifications not to mention the making of the beautiful machinery.
This team of exceptional craftsman truly built an over the top master piece !! Bill Blutch unfortunately passed away and we purchased the car from his son Dail Blutch. My son Bill and l worked on it for another year and a half to complete the car.
