Hi,
I've done the intro thing in the intro thing folder.
So I guess this is the best spot to show my project. I will post some more pics when I work out how to do it on my laptop... till then this one is all there is...  :roll:

I am planning on running it in C/Fuel, but with some wise advise from some other wise guys it will be able to slip into Gas, AIR, and maybe even Modified Roadster with some extra body work on the front. But that is all well down the track, gotta get out there first...
Engine wise it is a SBC with Enderle injection, trans is a Clutch TH400, and rear is Quick Change.

Cheers, Glenn

Oh, thanks to the moderators for this forum, it's full of great knowledge...  :cheers:

Looks like a great start on some exciting times. Lots of roadster guys on the site you should get some great ideas and advice. Looking forward to seeing more.

Not much matters and the rest doesn't matter at all.

C/xxRoadster, well at least you chose one of the least competitive classes. Looks like a great start. I really like the stance. Do whatever you can to get as much of that steering, suspension and other rods and bits out of the air as you can. Good luck, keep us updated.
Records or parts, I didn't come all this way not to break something.

It's almost like winter here this summer, only 2 days that touched 40 deg c.   :-D
Last few summers we have had at least a week of 40s...
The palms go with the pool  1drink  :-D

Hey. Thanks for the USD's. I put them into the 'liner and look how Bob treats it. Besides, people up here don't seem to like my stuff. I sold 3 cars down your way (counting NZ) and some parts. Never get to hear from the rest of the stuff.

I am still getting along with my roadster, I have a working  bee planned on Sunday to pull the thing apart so I can weld up the frame.
That will be a good progress point, once the frame is welded and painted it is putting it back together, no more test fitting.
I pulled it out front of my place to compare it to our 32 sedan....
