    Following your thread since mid Jan. Lots of great work and ideas. Congrats!
    I don't recall reading it, but your grill shell came out after "Big Daddy" Ed Ross created the 'A La Kart ' show car. It took top awards at the Oakland Roadster Show. JPL

    My bad, Ala Kart was a George Barris creation. Here is a link to an article about the car: KUSTORAMA.com/wiki/Ala_Kart This even has air bags back in the '50's.! JPL

    Still waiting for the 6-2 blower top to arrive… but here is a pic of where I’m at. I’m getting a snout from Union Speed in Osseo machined to fit my application.

    found a 671 south of the cities, some farmer had it-
    Mocked up the carbs on a piece of aluminum so you can kinda get an idea of where we’re headed. STOKED!

    Drove by Mondello's on Paso in Paso yesterday. At the next intersection I saw a cool 31 coupe with a good looking dressed up flathead and I thought of this coupe. Any updates?
