So I've been a little quiet on the bumpside because of this...

Hasn't run yet but has been a blast to drive.

Mr Ranchero, congratulations, you have done a lot of good work.

Thanks for the photos.

I enjoy your posts.

That is really cool and I like the shape you have planed for the rear. Kind of mix between a Auto Union Type D and a late 20's early 30's Indy Racer.

I like that visualizing the shape- really lays it out.

It went from T bucket to boat tail to duck bill. Dang 21" rim mades for a 31" tire diameter and I need to mount the spare back there.

I saw that video after playing with my lines. There's a ton of cool old racers in Britain that this is a homogenization of. Basically I'm building it to fit me and want the lines and angles to flow. Kind of what the old racers guys would have done.

I struggled to bend up the seat back tubing yesterday and today. Some days everything flows together. other days not so much.

Wow!
Awesome job Jamie!
Almost looks like it would fit on the back of the dually, (using the diesel dually as / like a car hauler)!

Kool to the max my friend.

I brought it home on the dually. I need some longer ramps so the oil doesn't run out of the back of the engine if I plan on using it for that. Honestly I want to be able to drive it wherever I need to.

Very cool! My next door neighbor has a couple Speedsters, and is probably building another. He's a NOS/NORS kind of guy from what I can tell--no raw fabrication.
