'27 roadster............it's a roller!

[2.3Turbo_T]

Brought it home 4 years ago..........................



Rolled it outta the garage for the first time yesterday.......................









I have parts and pieces from 20 different cars on this thing and I've got about $1000 into it (including purchase price) at this point. I'm fairly confident it'll be on the road safe, legal and finished for just a hair over $3K when all is said and done.

The radiator is gonna be a crapshoot! It's outta a Geo Metro (as is the gas tank). The rad was $50 brand new and it's the only thing I could find that would fit inside the tracknose and still have room to run the intercooler piping past it to the I/C which is mounted in the nose. It's aluminum and not very thick. I'm hoping it's enough to cool a turbo'd 4. We'll find out!

I'm also an enthusiastic fan of your roadster. We built a glass one for my son and I steal it whenever I can.

Looking really nice. I like the idea of the 2.3 engine.
