    067, looking good!!! I need your help though. I'm building one similar, and I need a couple measurements. Need the length, front to rear, of the rear side
    window openings, and, from the back of the body to the back of the rear
    side window opening (like if you put a straight edge on the back glass and
    measured forward) Mine is in (mismatched) pieces. Any help would be much
    appreciated.
    Thanks,
    John

    Looks the goods........any main reason why you didnt hang the normal spring between the bones?..just curious...and just my $1.02c, but is the "perch pin" size bolts going through the front axle big enough?...sure wouldnt want one of em to break.....apart from that, nice look.........Bert

    on the quarter elipticals?

    what for? i have seen several setups like that, and not seen trouble with them... yea, they look like they'd have problems, but usually none...

    Congradulations!
    I'm SO glad to see a Cool, Basic HotRod being done around here. Excellant ideas and craftsmanship.
    In a way, it reminds me of what I'm building......
    Keep up the great work, and keep us informed.
