                        Nice color Eugene!

                        An old friend of mine had a '49 Led Sled with a chopped top and a visor over the windshield faired into the roof. He painted it a light tan. I raced against him many times at Atco Dragway. That was one heck of a car. I think over the years we broke even in the number of wins.

                        Stay safe.

                        Getting the chassis together a nice surprise is the posable front spindle arrangement  Just have to be very careful when assembling the spindles and the rod.
