i googled manchester and bunch of cool photos popped up. that looked close. i wonder how heavy that thing is? it's cool but for a "dry-lakes" car it might be too heavy.
.... don't look at me. I'm just a window licking troll with a HAMB woody. My parts pile couldn't fuel a unicycle lineup of one. Not Yet is my name ...
Maybe a little like a Fordson or early Ferguson. But still not correct. I like it a little, but still not sure. Finnish seems better then tractor, but could be truck.
I should refresh before I post. You guys nailed it. Regarding the size and being to heavy, it got the look of am early twentys br*** era radiator. But on a race car size, cooling capability and weight is important. But I plan on go and look at it and lift it. And regarding the way to do the front I can make it look smaller and less heavy by giving it a more dry lake/streamliner/indy roadster look. Like pics below. Just cover up the lower parts of it. But I still have the 19 29 grill in the back hand. Just need to find the money for it. But if it in fact is heave as an engine I don't want it.
