Bit of work, twin V8 motors and it can be a fantastic Salt Flat speedster.
Has potential.

Fantastic build! I'm surprised I haven't seen this yet. There's a few similarities with my build - I mean both will be front engine, rear wheel drive, double-wishbone suspension, two-seater Type 3 - but the similarities end there pretty much.
Great job with all the metal shaping especially, I'm starting to learn just what it takes and how hard it is to do what you do. Keep it up!
What are you going to do for a front grill? |

I saw a bug at some auto show in Chicago in the early 70's . He used a narrowed and shortened Chevy frame and stuffed a Chevy 396 V8 in the front.
He sat in the back seat and used the lower area of the actual hood for the grill as a beetle has those hood panels that set in from the raised areas and he painted them to match the red car color.
He left the passenger seat in place can't say why. |

No you most certainly may Not!
Actually, I raced on the Salt (Ford T ,354 Chrysler Hemi ) and the SCTA's monthly newspaper waas full of cars like that .Theres no limit to the type of car or bike you can run,the object is to go fast .It would look right at home on the salt. And some genius might power it with a bunch of VW engines ,just because they can. |

Come on Don, we both know that a Fastback getting any love is a good thing.
Besides, nice to see you're still around. _________________ Bob 65 Notch S with Sunroof

got one side of the floors all welded up and dressed off over the last week or so, so today i thought i would get the front suspension top arms completed.
rear suspension next.
bit of a shame really, the fassty has not much going for it , bit of a fat chick with a pig nose.

not posted any pics for a bit but i have been busy,
all the rust repairs are now completed on the under side of the shell.
with that done it was on to fitting the brake and fuel lines.
i need to take the engine and box out to fit the front brake lines and i also need to build the exhaust before the body goes back on.

cheers guys,
been fairly busy, the exhaust is nearly done now with just the rear boxes to sort once they arrive.
in order to get an idea of where the rear boxes are going to go i made up a replica out of cardboard , the idea is to make it look like a after market tuned exhaust for a type 3, if you get what i mean.
while i was at it today i thought i may as well fabricate a cover for the clutch cylinder.
more soon. |

Looks good. But, no flanges so you can take it apart? I've worked on enough front engined cars to know better than do that, especially if I'm starting from scratch. _________________ Bob 65 Notch S with Sunroof
