This one was front wheel drive with the flathead mounted backwards. It is a reproduction of an old Indy racer.

Ya know I agree here, man. I find it interesting that the older I get, the more older style of car I want. My teens I wanted a muscle car, my twenties it was a 50's era kustom, now I want to build a 40's era Lakes car and have a 40's styled '36 Ford. I see the speedsters and yearn for one! Does that mean I am closer to 40 than I thought?

A cheap set of finned aluminum upper radiator hoses and the coolest bakelite surface mount turn signal switch with indicator lamp. Oh yeah 4 brand new 15" portawalls .50 cents each...2 bucks a set. 3 of us walked all day with port-a-walls around out necks. That will start more conversasions than anything I've ever had.

Tommy; please show us a pic of that turn indicator! Think I've got something similar (?) but no jewel over my bulb. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif
