    Great build thread with lots of creative ideas and great photographs.
    Any idea how much it weighs?
    And what's the wheelbase?
    Thanks!

    Thanks @270bob! It looks killer! Your build is a huge inspiration for my '27 T RPU.

    Hey 270bob, your car is awesome! Thanks for sharing. Were you able to drive to the LARS, how far away for you?

    Hi, I haven't weighed the Roadster yet, but definitely sub 2000 lbs. Wheelbase is 107.5".

    I did take it to LARS. I trailered it there, the motor is an original DZ 302 with lots of compression. I only run race gas in it. However, I am in the middle of putting together a new more streetable engine for it.

    Love the pictures of how your seat is setup. The top looks awesome.

    Love what you have done with this car. Did you build the top structure or buy it already built?
