Thanks Bob This will be more of an inspired build. It would never be accepted as an authentic due to the fuel it will burn. Yes, it won't have spark plugs. A friend of mine has been putting this idea in my head the past 2 years and with Colt passing on these coupes here's my opportunity to build one. We want to have the classic look of a traditional gasser, just have a 12v Cummins diesel. We are trying to use stuff we have and keep the build cost down. I know, yeah right. :lol:
