    I think it was at Glenmoor last summer, but I don't know much about it, other than it's really cool up close.

    I know a lot about this roadster, my dad used to own it and Ed Williams was my fishing buddy when I was young. What would you like to know?

    I'd guess most of us would like to know the basic stuff - what engine/trans/axles did he run. Where did he source all the other parts? What's the body made of and how did he make it?

    I seem to remember when it was at Glenmoor the placard said it had an Olds engine, but I could be mistaken.

    I'd be more interested in the story behind the car. What made him decide to start on it, what inspired the build, how did he find the ambition to actually finish it?

    How was it to drive? Did it go together exactly like he planned, or were there a few detours in the build? How long did it take?
