Cool shop picture. There seems to be a bunch of junk in the way of your project.

Just a question with zero criticism intended, what would happen in a car with the frame/body this low if you got a flat suddenly while cruising? I guess you just hope you never do?

It scrapes the pavement. The roadster pick up I'm building is below the scrub line too. My attitude is with all the other risks you take driving around in a roadster with virtually no safety equipment why worry about another risk that very seldom happens.
Never had a acquaintance die in a car or hot rod accident but I've had more that a few die riding motorcycles.

Kind of like when you don't plan on both airbags going flat a the same time [S
Only going about 35 mph, lots of noise and a bumpy stop

It has about as much clearance as sports car. (5inches). Plus a nice skid plate on the bottom.
The new vettes have run flats.

Yep, my one son's Vette has to drive up onto some lumber so a jack will fit under it. If a tire goes flat, it is sitting on the ground.

You talking about that chrome oil pan??? calling it a skid plate?

I unintentionally used the pan for a skid plate on my Fiat. Went over one of those parking lot bumps and dropped 4 quarts of oil real quick. Added a 1/8" plate. Problem solved.

brakes.... do you really need them?
Got the brake pedal in with the right ratio. Just learned about pedal ratios and it should be right. Wilwood remote res is on the firewall. Tight fit but it looks like it will all work. Brake travel stops the pedal about 1/8 of an inch from the firewall. I will put a little platform heel rest in the right spot once I set up the go pedal.

You either need good brakes or a good horn. But, let me tell ya, it takes one hell of a horn to make an oak tree move out of your way!

Horn?
I had not even thought of a horn yet. Better put that on the list as well. The list seems to be getting longer, not shorter.

It will do that for a while, even after you start driving it. heck, mine has been on the road over 6 years and I keep finding things to change.

some of this pic vanished
Well photobucket now started to charge after years of "free" and both Bonehead and I know it was planned. So, some pics are gone so I will put some back.

Fabricator vs 7th Grader
Ok, So Bonehead is a great fab guy but in the 7th grade could he do this???
No, don't think so. Found this digging around tonight and opened a Corona with it, designed, manufactured and plated...stamped with my initials in 1967. Why would they allow 7th graders to make beer bottle openers at that age anyway??
