    Stopped by my pal ProtoTypeDesignFlauz (John's) place today. We had a good old fashioned trade where no money was exchanged. I delivered a big old Hemi engine for his modified T roadster build and checked out his progress. Here he is in his shop.

    He bought one of those Speedway perimeter frames for his T build and has a T bucket style front tube axle just mocked up but plans on using an older Ford dropped beam axle instead. His rear suspension is heavily modified. I like the direction he is taking here. He is doing some cool metal fab work with hardly any tools. And check out the super cool 16 inch General Jumbo artillery wheels. I knew he had been hoarding those for years.

    I made him pose for this photo. Sorry John, but someday you will be driving this thing very fast and you will thank me. Dig the banjo wheel in his hands.

    I got some inline 6 Chevy engines, 235 and 261 as well as a rolling 50 Chevy pickup truck chassis. John is clearing out his Chevy truck stock to make room and time for his roadster build as well as his 68 Camaro restoration.
