That will look pretty on the salt and going by at speed. Nice project with a lot of good planning and fab. :cheers:
Thanks Glen. I tell everyone I painted the fairlane and the new car orange so you can see it better.................not that I'm implying anything about your age or eyesight  :wink: :cheers:

Admit  it! The 55 gallon drum you bought of that stuff still had some in it!? We had an old friend, RIP that owned the local Speedshop, EVERYTHING he owned was a pale yellow. He got the same razzing about a 55 gallon drum of the stuff.  :-D :cheers:

You must be doing something wrong -- I can still see the roadster.

How about now?   :mrgreen:

Nice car, great job on getting it this far so quickly.

Yup, something wrong there.............I can still tell it is a 27!  Looks great with the lettering and that orange is retina burning! :cheers:

Brian, since I don't have a Facebook account I have to follow you here. Nice work. Sounds like you got the engine sorted and ready.

#59
This morning we got a chance to weigh the roadster. Hit our goals pretty close. 4181# car, 4389# with me, 4411# suited up. Bias is 55% rear, 45# front.
Left to right is with in 16# being heavy on the left side and fuel cell less than half full on the right. CG is right at my butt.
