    No panel under the floor so the rain can run out from the roof louvers.......

    Well, I had a lot of fun this summer but I had to make some changes in the coupe.. I had to put a sub floor under the louvers because it got HOT!! I also had to put another radiator in because the Ford 5000 tractor radiator wouldn't cool it.. I'm also going to install a 5 speed because I was turning 3800 RPM's at55 mph and the motor is weak... Other than those minor problems it was a great summer in "MR 800".....

    Never got to see you this summer but I did see Mr.800 a couple times. Cool car! I suppose just because it was down in the 30's last night you decided the summer was over? LOL...Keep us posted!

    Hey Jeff, dash insert has been hanging on my wall for 25 years.. $5 swap meet item without the gauges.. I think it's an old SW 'eight in a row' insert.. Also looks like the one in Milner's Deuce...
