Thanks! I found a club from near by.

Something I need to look into is the local hot rod community. To be honest I do not even know if there is any formal organizations. I didn't even know of the existence of the local shop that I...

I wish the local vocational school was an option...it's less than a half mile away. I've talked to administrators twice. When I tried to get into some kind of a welding course, I was told that...

I'm always glad to help any way I can, without compromising family & friends obligations...but I've never been one to take money. To my mind, when money comes into the equation help becomes...

If my health was OK, I'd be able to do most except dealing with that 700R4, and things requiring specialty tools. Though long ago and far away, I do have a lot of automotive history.

The trade...

What I was trying to say is that I do not see anyone's opinion as being negative, regardless of what it is. I would rather anyone be honest...even if it is going to be a hard pill for me to swallow.

Thank you for your wishes.

As far as the CAD work goes, the problem there is that I could never charge for it. I'm a self taught amateur, not a pro...and I'm not one to charge for helping out. I...

If negative is what you see, so be it. Honesty is better medicine than false negativity or optimism.

I have more than you think, but you are right in that what is left is nothing to sneeze at. ...

Working around limitations has been part of this project from day one. Two factors I can't work around...the lack of energy I've had for the last months...and the unpredictability of the spinal cord...

Well, this is another no real progress progress update :(

The health issues have gotten worse much quicker than anticipated. I've gone from using a cane to get around the house, to needing a...

From what I've told the place is pretty impressive. I've been wanting to stop in, but between my and my wife's health issues it's not been possible. I'm working on a more detailed DXF to send them,...

Just a bit of update...

Not much has been going on lately. The last few months have been really bad healthwise. Going out to watch the fireworks on the 4th was the first time I've been out for...

Nope, the cars they built are all frame mount R&Ps.

If this works, I've gotten my steering for nothing. If it does not work, it will cost me a pair of steering arms and a tie rod to go DIY...

Thanks for the welcome! I love that speedster...that pic makes me want to try that configuration.

To me, a minimal amount of dampened bump steer is like a car with understeer or oversteer...it's a trait that you learn to deal with. Very few if any production cars have ideal handling, and almost...

I agree on the 4/5 lug issue. The only viable reason for changing over would be to enable a specific wheel style...and so far, other than finding more of the Lincoln wires or some other wire wheels,...

Yeah, I bet they are hard to come by these days. I remember having problems finding wide low profile 14" tires for a Le Mans I had...and that was 20+ years ago.

Those conversion kits are too expensive for my budget, but I'll have to look into doing the conversion with salvage parts.

Thanks for the welcome. The folks here are already making me feel at home here.

I'm not worried about the labels folks apply to this thing...I'm sticking with The Little Green Roadster. Back...

Ooops....duplicate post

I'd like to avoid spacers/adapters if at all possible. Back in my VW days I had constant problems with them. Also, because my bolt pattern is the same as 20+ years of Mustangs, the adapters are...

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 already have tire options picked out from several different manufacturers. The ones I'm liking best are Coopers. I already have the wires for the front, and since I'm a wire wheel nut, I'll...

I don't know what happened to my earlier response, so I'll try again....

Thanks for your welcome and encouragement. I really do understand where those folks on the other site are coming from,...

I'd love to make this a school project...whole or parts. Unfortunately the local HS vocational school does not do outside projects due to insurance restrictions. If they were willing, I have no...
