Good idea... It's a shame that I have to pull a tarp over this project, and bank all my cash until August. My in-laws are moving from Vegas to Texas, to live with me permanently, and I get to pay for all of it all...Lucky me. Are you ready for this...They want me to 'hot rod' their electric carts (Rascals). They're complaining that the carts are too slow. I can see it all now....
I'll be bailing their butts out of jail, and their BBC powered Rascal carts mounted on shortened, Z'ed, and lowered S-10 frames, out of impound, because they were doing wheel stands and racing down the isles of Wal-Mart.
OK, back to reality...Come September I'll be able to get back to working on the F1. Thank God it stays warm here in San Antonio until mid December and winter is only a few weeks long. I've been at this for about a year and my biggest problem has been having to start over. I was all set up to use the existing frame, now that's out. Designing and set up of Toyota steering, that won't be needed, Buying a newer rear end and brakes for a 9", a waste of time and money. So I'll be starting from square one again. Only this time I'll keep the mods simple, easy and cheap.52 Ford F-1, 327 Chevy, S-10 frame

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
