    That car sorta looks like it may have had a prior life-prior to drag racing that is. It has all the earmarks of a roundy-round track roadster from the late '40s..

    Dale...I thought that too, especially with the way the front cross member was formed.
    V8 60 front tube and steering setup also leans that way.
    Very interesting car...(all my present projects are '27 T roadsters... and one '27 tub!)

    Plans for the car are to leave the paint the way it is and put a flathead with 39 trans. There is a Flathead reliability run in Vantage, Wa that is a really cool run to go to. Eventually I would like to drive it down to that show.
