i absolutely love the old vintage racers of the twenties and thirties, and after saving up for a year, ive started on my vintage racer themed project. I wanted a car with maximum dependability that didn't lack terribly in the power department, hence, the slant six. i picked up an old postal jeep for two hundred clams from a guy i work with. this postal jeep has nearly everything i need to start out with. (right hand steer, limited slip differential, straight axle, and a small frame) plus it sure was a blast tearing it apart. one of the pictures posted is a (general) plan of its end look. ill post more pics as i progress. <a href="http://s779.photobucket.com/albums/yy71/brodieperformance/?action=view¤t=DSCN0444.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i779.photobucket.com/albums/yy71/brodieperformance/DSCN0444.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://s779.photobucket.com/albums/yy71/brodieperformance/?action=view¤t=DSCN0445.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i779.photobucket.com/albums/yy71/brodieperformance/DSCN0445.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://s779.photobucket.com/albums/yy71/brodieperformance/?action=view¤t=DSCN0445.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i779.photobucket.com/albums/yy71/brodieperformance/DSCN0445.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://s779.photobucket.com/albums/yy71/brodieperformance/?action=view¤t=DSCN0457.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i779.photobucket.com/albums/yy71/brodieperformance/DSCN0457.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://s779.photobucket.com/albums/yy71/brodieperformance/?action=view¤t=DSCN0458.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i779.photobucket.com/albums/yy71/brodieperformance/DSCN0458.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://s779.photobucket.com/albums/yy71/brodieperformance/?action=view¤t=DSCN0441.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i779.photobucket.com/albums/yy71/brodieperformance/DSCN0441.jpg" border="0" alt="the wicked!"></a> <a href="http://s779.photobucket.com/albums/yy71/brodieperformance/?action=view¤t=thewicked.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i779.photobucket.com/albums/yy71/brodieperformance/thewicked.jpg" border="0" alt="the wicked!"></a> |

Cool man! Looks like the engine will be well behind the front axle? It's gonna be fun! |

yup. Keeping the motor behind the axle, nice and low. |

Awesome...I love it. Everyone's gotta do a full-on toy like this once or twice in their lifetime. Sometimes they work out, sometimes they don't, but they are great to build. |

just a revised version of the final vision. i think a hood would make the final product look a bit more 1920's. what do you guys think? <a href="http://s779.photobucket.com/albums/yy71/brodieperformance/?action=view¤t=wickedrevised.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i779.photobucket.com/albums/yy71/brodieperformance/wickedrevised.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> |
