Will look forward to watching your build.
That's a great tribute to your wife. Did she know you were going to do this?
No she didn't but was her favorite roadster of all I've built, as it was many others.Quote:

Heck, sitting side by side like that really gives the meaning of " Big'n Little's " . How tall are the rears and what ratio will the Diff have Don ? Good highway galloping speed @ low RPM I would think.
32 1/2 " tall, will B runnin a 2:79 gear behind a 350 turbo. Won't be a dog either, motor being built will have an honest 365/375 HP with plenty of torque and bottom end. Math tells me @ 75 will B twisted around 2150 RPMQuote:
