[Bill Cleveland]

Andy turned Dragmaster Co.’s slow-selling T-bucket kit into the red-hot Instant T, ultimately making “instant” street rodders out of hundreds of enthusiasts from 1966 to 1980. His personal roadster, the second car constructed from Dragmaster’s parts, evolved into America’s Most Beautiful Roadster in 1970. “Once you bought the $595 chassis, you could find the rest in our catalog,” he explains. “That was my gimmick: Get the chassis, then anything else you wanted, you’d have to buy from me, because I made the parts that bolted on—except the cowl lights that we used as turn signals in those days. When Sue would go back to Iowa to visit relatives every summer, she’d find old lanterns that we could resell.”
