    I can hardly believe there is/was something in that condition still sitting in plain sight today. Buy a lottery ticket............you'll probably win.:)

    This is how far I have got.
    I need the measurements for the seat frame if some one can help.
    Thanks

    Very cool. The only roadster I would even consider owning is the '28-9. Very good choice.

    Wow, that looks great, do you have subframe dimensions on paper, That would help a bunch of us piecing a body together
