Not exactly Early V-8 , but you could go to Roy Brizio's hot rod shop in South San Francisco and take a look at the projects in the shop. If John Mumford is around the shop you might get to see his collection of early V-8's.
This one is EXACTLY Early V-8, Vern Tarnel's garage about 60 miles North of San Francisco in Windsor, CA. Here is info, you might want to send and email or give him a call. His YouTube videos invite folks to visit. This is the real deal, Enjoy:
