    Hi Larry, welcome to CHR from central Iowa. That's a very nice roadster you are building. You will be able to find a lot of info here on them. Ryan.

    Enjoy your stay on CHR...there are some pretty talented/clever folk on here
    That's looking pretty good so far; and has obviously had a fair bit of work put in to it already.
    What engine, drive train, axles etcetera are you going to be putting in it?

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Welcome! I've got one at about the same point sitting in the barn waiting for me to jump back on it and get it done. Betting you'll beat me!

    Hey all thanks for the responses and questions. I am using a 455 pontiac and turbo 400 along with the usual ford 9 inch. I had bought the frame as a demo frame from a frame building co. in Missouri.In the back There was a parallel 4 bar on one side and triangulated 4 bar on the other. In the front a 4 bar on one side and hairpin on the other. It was used to show what the company could do. I changed things around to hairpins in front and triangulated 4 bars in back. Got the big Pontiac mounted and ran the exhaust now the hard part of mating the hood to the body and grille shell and getting the gaps straight. Naturally I have torn my shoulder up so it will have to wait until I heal. Thanks Larry
