I wish the body could talk and could tell me about its past. It was found in Jim Lattins front yard, Jim has many records at El Mirage and Bonneville; an awesome collection. And I mean, who wouldn't want a T roadster as yard art?! But who knows the past before the weeds grew up around it.
The engine is a 63 Corvette block with camel hump Heads. 202 valves and 10:1 compression. I set it up with an offy intake, 3 rebuilt Stromberg 97s running progressive linkage.
A PowerGen Alternator gives a vintage look with an old Delco-Remy generator tag I found, a Delco distributor issues the spark with the assistance of retrofitted Pertronix internals.
Btw, lettering and stripping on the grille insert by ''flatheadstriping''.
Most recently I got to run the car 1/4 mile and it was just about to break into the 13.99 ET bracket. I had a blast racing!
