Some things I forgot explain on this project.

This project is VERY low budget. Almost all the parts I've acquired so far used, ebay, Speedway garage sale or similar. So far, the only parts I've paid retail for are the front shackles, the heims, and the air bag brackets. I only buy parts if there is money left at the end of the month.

This is going to be a fair weather project...and typically that's only about 6 months out of the year. A workshop shed is on the want list, but that is a ways off, and would not be heated either.

The fictitious background scenario for this car's appearance is that it was a race car from the immediate post WWII period, during the transition between Modifieds and Track Roadsters. Later it was resurrected and turned into a street going hot rod.

Beneath the skin it's going to be modern...with the exception of a twist with the motor. It started life as a modern computer laden fuel injected V6. I'm turning back the clock and making it old school. Everything electronic will be gone...along with the spaghetti tangle of hoses and wires. I've got Mallory dual point distributor, Edelbrock intake manifold, a yet to be determined carb, and home made weed burner headers. Hopefully that will make it look like it could have come from back in the day.
