The Roofus Special
I started building the Roofus Special. It is a boattail speedster inspired by 20-40's Indy and Grand Pix racers.
It gets its name from the source for the body sheetmetal. A 1954 Cadillac roof!
Drivetrain is from a 1960 Jaguar MKII.
The whitewalls get replaced with bias plys. If the build turns out really nice, the wheels will get relaced with larger diameter hoops......18's or maybe 20's

My grandfather, mom's side, drove a 39 Plymouth coupe when I was about 4 or 5 and I thought it was pretty cool and I loved the tail fins on the 49 Cadillac. I drew cars when I was in the 5th and 6th...
How did you get hooked on cars?
