Watch a bit of your videos and learned 3 things.

Curved radius's are for pansies
Real men use sharp edges.
You talk to yourself a lot - you just ain't quite right are ya?

I think your rat rodding addiction is getting worse! Carry on...[P

got alot done on the roadster the past weekend.

 

[skullworks]

i got the frame all done, finished up the welding and started mocking up the motor today. hows this look?

 

[Sam_Fear]

A little late now, buuuuttttttt........The front clip looks chunky and heavy. Since you're using a rear gear box, you could have fabbed up a lighter looking front end. I might have even stuck it out front farther - stretched more suicide style.

What is the front clip? I like the rear box.

 

[skullworks]

well the front end is off a 54ish dodge sedan, i had it laying around and needed a front suspension. and im running a regular rear axle, with the engine and all up front as usual, but not sitting in that front end. the rear axle is out of a 1970 dodge charger.

Looks like it will fit in nicely. I was wondering when I saw the straight steering shaft.

Hey, you built the thing from scratch, I'd say this makes it even more personal, regardless if it's perfect or not, which to me makes it even more valuable.
