    I know this may be an obvious question to a lot of people on here, but what is the tube/line running from the transmission to the manifold? By the way the car is killer!

    WOW, roadster came out great I too love the skirts!! If I may ask what rearend did you use? Also you said space between tube and trans is that to center the wheels in the wheelwell? Also any detail shot of mounts and such:D I have a 29 roadster body that is just collecting dust, this post makes me want to build her now!!

    Thanks John

    Crap...pure crap. I think to make it look best my name needs to be on the title.
    If there is ever a HAMB car of the year ( or decade for that matter) this would win it, hands down. Now, if we could get some pics of this and 3windowLarry's jalop, I'd be happy.

    Very nice.

    So I want to know how you set up thje steering? The wheel is in a great spot - looks like to won't have to do anything wierd around it if you want to unbolt the WS and run a tonneau.

    Looks great man.

    I'm downloading some more shots of the engine and steering and things.. I'll post them as soon as my slow computer gets done...

    That's just a draft tube for venting the crankcase.

    thats a neat pic... :D

    I LOVE that car. I didn't get to spend enough time around it on the salt. The fact that you screwed it together in such a short time... killer!

    You ARE a ruler.

    I made the steering column drop / pump holder and the gauge panel. Pay no mind to the makeshift cardboard floorboard filler... I haven't made a filler out of steel yet...
