Hot Rods Adamson-Vietti hand made roadster, Kansas, 1961

Came across this on newspaper microfilm recently.
Anyone know anything about the car or these two guys? Just wondering.

 

What was the date on the paper? My dad went to Pitt State (Kansas state college) in the mid sixties.

 

Looks a lot like a sectioned Henry J with the roof cut off.

 

I found this article from the Salina (KS) Journal:

Newspapers.com has a frontal shot of the car in a couple of Kansas newspapers, but I don't have a subscription to see them. Maybe @G. Hacker has more information.

 

interesting

 

Here, apparently, is the 'full frontal' that SR100 spoke of.
Wonder what happened to the car?
