    WOW your Rambler looks great!

    So what kind of frontend are you using? Also... more photos!

    I had a weak moment a month ago, and bought one of these things....
    Now I don't know what the HELL to do with it!

    So more photos and, and keep us posted on progress.... maybe it will motivate me to get something going.

    looks like you have a good start, that's for sure.

    Can't wait to hear about how it drives. That is a cool Rambler. It's so low that it seems to hover.
