    Don - I am intending to run a full hood on it. According to my books by Don Radbruch, almost all of the old track roadsters ran with at least a hood top. I suppose it must have been required by the rules. Many of the nicer cars had fully enclosed engine bays. I will probably make it from aluminum or steel.

    Bobby - The 4-door in the background is my son's project. It is a '31 Model-A Murray body Town Sedan with slant windshield. He has been working on it for a couple of years now. Most of that time was spent in salvaging the body which was unbelievably rotten. The local "restorers" all shied away from it because they considered it too far gone to save. My son bought the body for $260 and went from there. Here's a picture before we blew it apart for finishing and painting.
