    Hey, what's up? I thought you guys might like to check out this 28 Ford I picked up. The car was mocked up in Portland Oregon in the early 70s and never completed. It has Borani knock off's and a four banger Merc Cruiser with side draft Webers. Russ Meeks built the ch***is which has a rack, disk brakes and coil over’s. I called him recently he remembered everything about it... Amazing! <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /><o:p></o:p>
    Anyway, here's a few pictures.<o:p></o:p>

    A great canvas to create on! Personally, it doesn't appear to need much more than some elbow grease (maybe a buggy spring up front?). I love an overhead banger in a roadster. What's the trans? Russ Meeks history is a bonus. Enjoy.

    Neat project! Looks like it'll be a blast when it's done. Is that a Jowett Javelin in the background????

    The Velorex is from Czechoslovakia.

    But it is pretty weird...:D

    I remember reading about someone in England who was using one as a daily.. think it was in Practical Cl***ics or something. Seen em in Europe, NEVER seen one in America.
