    Sleek and refined. But needs treated mean in the dirt.
    Like taking a virgin to a strip joint.

    sure looks like a different car to me, the top pic has the roll bar inside the body and as wide as the body is. the lower pic has a narrower bar behind the body. the top pic has an extension of the hood because the radiator is much further forward. (look at the relationship of the distributor to the radiator shell on the 2 cars). Also the lower pic has the frame rails covered in aluminum. and the exhaust is completely different. not to mention the wishbones on the bottom car attach at the cowl and the other car they attach a good foot further forward

  9. Looks like the same car at different times.
    How many battleship gray T roadsters with
    4 in a row flatheads can there be?!
    Also, first picture looks like the drag version, (longer wheelbase? and slicks.)
    Second picture looks like later changes. (dirt track knobby tires),
    shorter wheelbase hence new aluminum bottom panels.

    Id like to know more too. Nice clean build, looks like doors, body, hood were handmade to a cowl, firewall, grill. You tell me.

  12. Cars evolve. Looks like the same car to me with some changes made for the races this year.

    Not only did it get the frame lengthened, the body got narrowed!

    Killer car...Needs a good beatin' on it. But I'm sure that's what it's built for!
