This reminds me of a chassis that my mentor built when i was 12yo.
He used it for a club offorad timing event. No roll bar. Just a hoop to support the steering column.
We called it the "Flintstone" mobile!
Oh, and it was an autostick to boot.
The OPs chassis looks like a go-kart. Go-kart=Fun!

Yeah, that's how ya do it! Sweet!
I did that back in '81, when I was 17...but I held the flopping steering shaft and wheel in my lap, so I just went straight down and then straight backwards, a couple times...with a sh*t-eatin' grin as wide as Tennessee 
That was with my first, a '60. I plan on reliving it soon, with my '65.
Good stuff! |

Love the fact that the time was taken to fit the hubcaps

Gotta look good going down the road! Do not want the spectators looking at the 2x4s! Keep your eyes on the shiny stuff!!!!
