Re: Lil' John Butera
Here's what I found doing a quick search. He built this for Joe Hrudka (aka Mr. Gasket)and I first saw it at the US Natls. Killer billet pieces on this car, and a VERY unique drivetrain. The tranny was mounted at the rear to keep the floor flat and the car low. (The '33 Willys is a SMALL car.) Amazing innovation and workmanship for the day.
