I missed this too! Schoum your vision, talent, and craftsmanship are amazing. I am not sure how you could do it but it would be awesome to bring your lakester to Bonneville and let it stretch its legs. Thank you for sharing your build with us. Thor
I think Ryan should ditch his "traditional" vs "custom" vs "wannabe trad/custom" divisions, and just have "badass builds" and "hokey ass shit". Than we can find threads like this easier! TP
Great irony that it has 'French Flathead' Power; and would not be allowed to be race as 'traditional' at Bonneville because of the rules. At least as I understand them. Not to be a gadfly but does that put it in the wrong category on HAMB?
I have also missed this thread, WHY? Outstanding craftsmanship! Do you take orders schoum? K ........................................ Taildragger&fenderless
Woah! So rad! Are you using the top rails of the frame to carry the coolant from the radiator to the engine? I LOVE stuff like that. Dude this car is bad ass!! I cant wait to see some video

Very, very cool indeed. Thank you for sharing all of this. My shop is packed to the gills, but this makes me want to pitch a big tent in the back yard and start welding! Nicely, nicely done. Video definitely needed next!
What an incredible build. You sir are an incredibly talented craftsman! Thank for sharing this build with us.
i have no idea how much work, (or interest), schoum would need to get this legal, but i'm happy to donate $20 to the RUN IT AT BONNEVILLE fund
All I could think of while reading through the first few pages were the diagrams of the Chrisman Coupe in hot rods feb 54 issue. Fantastic build! I want one.
