Aaron has just a little over a year into this project-but it wasn't a solo effort. He got a lot of help from the people mentioned below, not to mention every single friend who dropped by to help him hoist the body on and off, "about a hundred times," he estimates.Tradition demands that an early Sixties show rod must have a cool name. Aaron says he borrowed the name Atomic Punk from the title of a Van Halen song, "as sort of a tribute to one of my other favorite Roths, David Lee Roth."Aaron managed to have the Atomic Punk finished to car show condition in time for the Detroit Autorama. After displaying it there and some other events, he continued to work on the induction setup, and Harrell Manufacturing got the eight Holleys synched up and dialed in so Aaron could finally climb in under the bubble and do the burnout he had been waiting for."It took a lot of time and effort, and I ran out of money on it several times. I had to sell a couple of my cars and a kidney to get the money to finish it, but when I finally got to get in it and do that big smoky burnout, I think it was worth it."Article original:
