Nice work. Do you have a periscope to see around that blower setup?

Bill
edit: I see there is no front plate on the coupe. Is it a show car or dragger and not a driver?

I hope nobody got lost getting to Rt 80, nobody has run through the railroad crossing, no children were run over in that play area, that the handicapped folks could find their parking and nobody has gone the wrong way on the street as a result of those signs being removed!

(Your tax dollars at work!)

Great cars


We cannot drive rods with no fenders here.Must be at least a motorcycle fender
First cop to see you would have you pulled over and most likely have the car hauled to their compound

Wheels

Did you need to run spacers to make the wheels fit? What bolt pattern are they? Happen to recall backspacing/offset? LOVE that look!

I made my own front hubs to get the wheel to fit in the front fender.
The rear is a Mustang rear end I narrowed to fit.
Bolt pattern is 5x4 1/2--14 inch rims 5 inch wide.

Nice work. How cool to be able to machine your own hubs to get the wheels to sit perfectly inside the wheel arch!
Was nice, do to the bad economy and rising taxes I am forced to sell my buisness and all the machines I used for 35 years.
Plus chicago just sucks---bad times here.
