Hey, been wondering where you've been lately [S That is a pretty cool Roadster man! [cl[cl What are your frame/running gear plans

 

[skullworks]

so far i have a 283 sitting here with no use and no tranny or anything yet. and for a frame i got some steel tube and some old dodge sedan bits and pieces. i figure i can come up with something. its a fun project.
