Until the kids leave home (shortly!), I can't just jump into street rodding, so I'm in the research stages now. I'd rather not buy somebody else's project, just because I hate the thought of how much I'd have to change around to make me happy (although I may warm to the idea later). So that means buying a fiberglass body with frame. Plenty of manufacturers out there (Amen!), but as a first car for me, I think cheaper is the way to go (OK, if I want to build my first car soon, cheaper is my only choice!)


I've been eyeballing Speedway's 1927 T roadster. I seem to be having trouble posting the link directly to the kit, so if you want to see what I'm talking about, go to the web site:
www.speedwaymotors.com and enter Part number 91691327 in the appropriate search.

I figure about $7000 including this kit would put me well on the way. I already have the 5.0 and tranny, and I'll do much of the assembly myself.

What I want to know is, who out there has worked with Speedway's '27 roadster, and what do you think of the kit?

Thanks for your time, and kudos to a great web site!
