Hi I live in VA mtns and like to tell people I retired to build hot rods. Current DD 93 Cobra and 04 Overland. Just about finished Jeep BJ, 79 Bronco based with 460 and stuff and a 2 seater Jeep TJ body. An ongoing build is a 41 Willys PU AWD with an 871 blown 383. Some previous rides AC with 215 Buick, Split window, 55 210 D Gasser (street?), V8 Corvair, EMPI Sportster, Alfa Spyder Velochi (liked to sucker then new 65 Mustangs into races), Twin turboed 66 Charger built at AK Millers, 52 Merc convert, etc. I intend to build, probably from scratch, either a Datona or FIA. But I need an economy car to run around in so Next build will be a Lotus 7. Fore you laugh too much look at the specs. That is why I'm here it will be much like Shell's Light weight without the body.
