Ed wood passed away Wednesday January the 26th 2009, for those of you who didnt know Ed Wood he was my uncle, a well known hot rod builder among other things out of Bakersfield Ca. Some say that is who i took after when it comes to his wild ideas in building cars. Ed Wood was featured in qiute a few magazines including Hot Rod magazine and a recent issue of Car Kulture DeLuxe magazine.
One of the cars he is really known for is a 1964 Chevelle with twin 400ci Oldsmobile engines putting out 500HP, and then later taking out the Old's motors and installing a 1710 Ci Allison V12 out of a P38 putting out 1500 HP.
Ed has built many different cars in his time, he had a '46 Chevy with a 302 GMC six clinder in it. He also had both a '41 and '42 Chevys, three '55 Chevy's with Oldsmobile engines in them. By 1966 he became a pretty well known drag racer at the Famoso Drag Strip in Bakersfield Ca. Among Eds other pusuits he built a Gyro Helicopter back in the 50's and flew it out at Famoso. The family and the Hot Rod world will surely miss him, and i will do my best to keep his legacy going!
