-------Everything about the flathead in that rod is cool. I dont think I have ever seen a set of those heads. They reposition the plugs.......a lot. Blower is a Latham and, I think, massively over driven with that huge crank pulley. I also wonder about the cooling. I can see the bottom hoses going forward and down. Would love to hear that thing run. It must really cackle!!! Front brakes are also very unusual......Bill S

Ken, Very cool car!

My friends in the 2 Cobras didn't like the rain coming out of Wisc so we left.

Darren, the car looks excellent with the redlines. When are the fronts going on the car?

I was spent after mounting the rears over the weekend. Should take me a week to work up the energy to do the fronts.
