I'm generally not really into showrods, though I liked them as a kid. I do like the Uncertain-T because it looks like a cartoon that was brought to life. Why? Why not? It sounds like he did it because he was inspired by a drawing done by a classmate, and wanted to...

...take on the challenge of actually building it, which he did. He also incorporated some cool features like torsion bar front suspension and running coolant through the aluminum frame to help cool the engine, since he didn't like the look of a cooling fan.

The story of George Barris' reaction to being beaten by the Uncertain-T at the 1965 Winternationals show was epic, too. Interesting fellow - I'm glad I read the article.
