This one was front wheel drive with the flathead mounted backwards. It is a reproduction of an old Indy racer.

Would love to build something like this. After the bubbletop and the modified of course!!!

 

The staggered seating is just cool.

 

I can see you in one of those.(dashing thru the snow)

 

When I first read the topic, I wundered why you were looking at SPEEDSTARS!!!???? hahaha

I think those little cars are cool. one of the retired guys that hangs out at our shop would like to build on for the street.

 

I am in the process of building a single seater for the street. Cal

 

I'm liking thoses too! Especially the first one.
Got any more info? Looks a lot like what I'm planning.

 

Ya know I agree here, man. I find it interesting that the older I get, the more older style of car I want. My teens I wanted a muscle car, my twenties it was a 50's era kustom, now I want to build a 40's era Lakes car and have a 40's styled '36 Ford. I see the speedsters and yearn for one! Does that mean I am closer to 40 than I thought?
Damn!

 

The 1st one looks like one of those "Blower Bentlys" from the 20s... cool!

That Packard (#3) was awesome! I drooled over that one for a while.

 

Spooky ...pretty soon tou're gonna start liking horses.
Tommy ...did you get anything cool at Hershey?

A cheap set of finned aluminum upper radiator hoses and the coolest bakelite surface mount turn signal switch with indicator lamp. Oh yeah 4 brand new 15" portawalls .50 cents each...2 bucks a set. 3 of us walked all day with port-a-walls around out necks. That will start more conversasions than anything I've ever had.

 

Tommy; please show us a pic of that turn indicator! Think I've got something similar (?) but no jewel over my bulb.

 

looking at those, it's the best reason for developing some real metalworking skills....dream on.
