Rowdy is an extreme understatement. Loud...I made some collector mufflers for it but its still very loud. This is a no-frills, lightweight race car on the street. If your looking for a car to drive across the country...look elsewhere. If you want a hardcore hot rod that can be raced, and run down the street, this fits the bill.. Extremely well done and engineered to the highest level. 100% TIG welded chassis. Chassis was fabricated on a full Bluco modular fixture table system, as square of a chassis as you will ever find. Car is currently registered and street driven. Has less than 50 miles since built. Out of room and starting another project. Partial trades of 50's/60's driver cars considered (my wife really wants another wagon).
