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

When I was about six years old, a race car on a trailer went past our house. I thought it was the coolest thing I had EVER seen! And I haven’t been the same since.That was over fifty years ago. ...
How did you get hooked on cars?
