    nice find! the bodywork/interior reminds me ALOT of how my 32 body was when I got it.

    what's the hunks of steel welded to the front side of the crossmember??

    Nice score. Looks like the radiator is in front of the front crossmember. How is the lower radiator hose routed?

    Ah dude....

    You may have gotten real lucky...

    That front axle looks to be a super rare OKIE ADAMS....

    I'm not 100% sure...but I have a similar one on the front of my truck...Its never been confirmed or shot down.

    Great motor too.. Had 383's in my police cars back in the 60's. Road Runners had them too. A police buddy of mine had a new Road Runner and he just barely whipped my Pontiac Catalina, tri power/4 speed. At the end he said "when you get a Pontiac that will run let me know" .. A week later I had a 66 GTO and put a whippin' on his ass that he probably still remembers!

    I stopped by yesterday and saw it in person. What a super bitchin' little roadster. I couldn't ID the front axle either, its unlike anything Ive ever seen in person. Im ready to see it doin' smokey sideways burnouts up and down 40. Hell yes.
