My single seat racer build

So after missing this years TROG , the guys from the club and I decided that we had to be back for 2017 if possible. I sold my 2015 race car and thought I'd try something totally different then anything I've ever built. So here goes nuthin. I'm thinkin a single seater built to look like a late 30's race car. 21 stud flathead , mechanical brake and tall wires.
I bought this super clean Model A chassis from the guys at Mill works hot rods and stripped the fenders off.

 

got this cool mostly finished sprint frame from my buddy Blindowl

 

this is the idea.

 

got this nice little 38 21 stud to power this pile.

 

my inspiration .

 

Cool.

 

Ray I have a family photo, for some inspiration.

This is Sam Craft from Denver N.Y in front of his shop some time before 1938.
My great uncle Don Weyle crewed and traveled with him.

This is a A.A.A. big car (Indy car)-
Model B with RaJo head


I have a close up of the car as well.
Let know if want to study it.

 

Love it Robert. The more pics the better keep em comin. Gets my fire burning.

 

Go man Go!

 

Ray, neat project! In my dottage, I admire the zeal and energy of you young guys. You are keeping the hobby fresh and alive. We'll try to take a putt over this summer and see it in person.

 

I would love that John.

 

Love it! I'm in the middle of a similar build as well. I will be watching! PS that frame is the business!

Now, Ray, you know how to turn all that useless Model A stuff ( fenders, FRAME??) into parts you can use......... LOL

Love the idea you're going with- knowing you, it's gonna be another knockout build!

 

I'll probably just quit now because you already did it better then I'm gonna. Great build your doing . I've been watching. Very inspiring.

 

Robert great picture!

 

Haha! You are way too kind man but thanks for vote of confidence!!

 

Ray, I found some old photographs of track roadsters that ran about 15 miles me.(just post war)
Check out the car on the left.

reversed the main leaf and did a ton of modifying to get the steering arms and tie rod below the wish bone.

Pete hooked me up with a big truck tie rod and I used it for the new split wishbone ends.
