Hot Rods Homebuilt track roadster

I envy your metal work - that sure is nice!

 

That sure looks like Fun with a capital F.

 

Some final pictures with interior and Ford alum wheels.
Caps for knockoffs were spun into a maple wooden plug.

Ya have to love this car. Nice work guy!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Funky little car. How does it drive with the turbo?

 

Delicious workmanship.
Re hub caps:
I'm looking at these Cyclone fence post caps to use as hub caps on my champ car

 

Too funny!....great minds think alike!....I bought a handful of those from Home Depot with the same thing in mind.

 

Wow what a build and what a neat car with so many great features that all blend together perfectly.

 

You continue to impress me.

 

Been watching "Limey Kid" build & inspired. Now find this build. Moving to new house with 5 car garage - all designed - ready to build. How much boost do you get? Factory F85 olds used water/alki injection.

 

The flathead has fairly low oil pressure and I don't test it to see max boost. It is stock 221 cu in with factory compression ratio. It feels peppy in light car. The main plan was to complete the car with unknown condition of engine. Future rebuild is possible....probable.

Wow !!!

 

May I ask why you have late model heads on the engine? To make room for the induction system? Great work, by the way!
