It does however like a lot of timing for some reason, and although it is not normal it makes the most power with 36-degrees total lead. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/WLFTO0Bx9-E" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

To keep this thread alive, here's a picture of my roadster. It's as traditional as it gets. One thing I did wrong is put in a F1 crossmember and pedal. Oh well, too late now.
If you look on the race of gentleman thread you will see a lot of pictures of that car from when Mel owned it. Such an awesome roadster! Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!

Thanks for the comments. I purchased the car from Mel (Race of Gentlemen). He built a racer out of the great body with cool history - I've been working to dial it in as a little more refined 40s styled rod. It's a blast.
Boy that's some car Bonesy. How did I let you talk me out of that one? Haaa, hope your having fun. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
I still don't know how I talked you out of it - just lots of begging I guess. I'm having an absolute blast with it in both driving it and refining it. Hell, most of the time I do nothing with it other than sit in the garage and smile at it.
Glad your enjoying it! Just about ready to get going on my 34 roadster. I plan to top the 32 so I feel better. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
I've sat on the tire of this car at ROG. I could not believe Mel sold it but I'm so glad it went to someone that will enjoy the car. I really just don't see anything being better then this...
