Here's a few Miller pictures .One is a rear wheel drive. There may be an idea here you could incorporate. Also a torsion bar set up.

Thanks for all of the pics.

I haven't had much chance to put any quality time in on this one recently...hope to this month.

A straight axle would probably be a lot easier to do, but I want to use the jaguar hubs so I can keep the knock-off wire wheels. I also want to use the jag front disc brakes.

I think I will HAVE to go IFS to keep those parts.

The Rally cars are really doing something for me. I found more pics.

One with fenders!

I finally found one parked next to something that I can use as a size referrence... a Bugatti! It does appear to be really close in proportions.

I dig the low headlights. It looks like a hot rodder got ahold of this one.







I really want a hood and radiator shell in this style for my car.

Now back to my build.....here is where I started the day. A clean table from the firewall forward.



I had to come up with an idea for a frame that would accept an IFS and look good fenderless. Follow along as I work through this thing and see what I finally came up with. ....all of the blue tube is 1.5"
