Not sure what direction to go yet, trying to assemble the missing body parts. Possibly a period correct race car or a TROG racer. These cars finished Lemans in 1928 3rd and 4th behind a Stutz and a Bentley. Straight 6, 85hp, juice brakes. It was short money so couldn't resist, the rare parts are worth more than I paid for the car. It's a Comet in the background, cool little car 260 4 speed, pretty clean, and NOT my shop unfortunately.

I think a semi Period correct race car with a super charger or turbocharged would be great, you could safely double the HP in any of those old classics they were so over built.

I haven't even started it yet, has compression so should run. Going to concentrate on the body and accumulating the missing pieces. Need 3 patch panels made, going to change some of the fluids, maybe build a jig to build the body on. Should be a lot of fun
