Doug Thorley, the legendary ‘header’ builder, was asked by his good friend Hubert Platt from Georgia to build a set of custom headers for his 1964 Ford Falcon ‘427’ race car. This is how the legend began! Doug recalls, “There was a match race coming up & Hubert had burned his hand quite badly, so he asked me to drive the car. I took two passes, and it was off of the ground most of the time all the way through the quarter mile. Well, that really hooked me, and the minute that I got back to the shop I started building the ‘Chevy 2 Much’. Ted Brown built the chassis & completely reconstructed the frame, Doug Kruze did the sheet metal, and Gil’s Auto Body did the one-of-a-kind bright Candy Tangerine & Red paint scheme. When Hubert’s wife, Bee Platt, saw the brilliantly painted Chevy, she couldn’t refrain from drawing “That Chevy is Tooooo Much”, which Doug quickly adapted to: ‘Chevy 2 Much’.
