Benson's Garage

We decided to do it at In that tree you spend a lot of time right here in your shop. Probably too much time but yeah I spend about 40 hours a week here. So a lot of t We got some mac These cars that I build that are over there, we build everything from the ground up so it seems You got a lot of mac Tell us what t Well what t I bought a cubed car one point time so I almost won a Daytona 500 with t Is t Well t And it's not light at all. It's not light, it's probably about 900 pounds. It's the whole chassis interior and the body on it so it's kind of cool. Alright so we have some fantastic cars back here that aren't your typical race stop cars. No, it's my storage area. We got an 1944 sedan w It's got Chevrolet engine in it but the rest of it is pretty much original body and all that stuff. Do you still drive t Oh absolutely. You got a lot of looks. Yeah you got a lot of looks. The kids love riding in the back because there's The vet. Yeah, 1966. I'll tell you what, t We need to redo it but I was a kid. My dad used to make me polish the wheels on t And wax on, wax off. Wax on, wax off, type D. So it needs to probably be redone but it's 65 for that so it's pretty neat. Me and Russ got bored one day and we built a rack for our car. So that's a huge deal and then the middle car is, I won a champions That car is still just the way it comes off the racetrack. It still got the engine, the whole deal in that car and my top one is actually when I won a champions Actually it sold that car. It actually bought it back so the body is a little bit different. Here we got a little pipe notch here. So when I build my chassis, build my chassis on t You stick a pipe in there, you turn it on, turn it in, it cuts it so it's kind of a cool deal. It's one of those t So I ball went to my dad didn't have one so that makes t He ball went after I left so I can't believe that. So you're basically responsible for building all of your cars? Yeah, I definitely build all my own cars from the ground up so that part's pretty cool. So you have no one else to blame if it's kids? Yeah, if it doesn't I'm good at it. Nobody else to blame. I'm very fortunate that I've won in every car that I've built. So I had all the one, I only ran at three races and the guy had to have a worse than I did so he bought it but he won a race so that's pretty happy about it. Well thank you very much for letting us come in here and check out all your cool cars and your stuff and we'll go back to you Vicki
