    Hey fellas just wanted to post some pics of my new roadster. Has great history. In the 60s Dee Wescott took the molds off of this body for his new fibergl*** reproductions. It has Been sitting in a barn ever since and a few years ago some one started putting it together rebuilt the banger etc. changed a few hands and then I bought it. Since getting it in June I put a Mor-Drop 40 front axle, recurved spring, put a 32 grill on it and converted it to juice brakes. Next step is to put a flathead in it!

    It looks good. How's the body?

    Streetrods are drivin' by Chevy, Hotrods are powered by Ford!

    That'll make a great AV8. Nice hot rod.

    I'm glad you ended up with that car, it's a sweetheart!

    Keep me in mind if you part ways with that banger motor?

    Wow, that IS a honey of a car! Sad to see the 'banger go but a well dressed AV8 will suit it well.

    Here's a couple of pictures from when I owned it. The first one was the day I drove it to the DMV to get it ***led. The second, the day I sold it

    Looking great. I like that steering arm. Keeps the draglink parallel to the ground.
