Here is a bit more, collected parts and getting the body ready, last 2pics I decided to stretch the front end 7” so added some sheet metal, will have to add same amount to the hood later in the build

Getting those boxes opened, some assembly required!
My friend Gearld Pierce gave me the jig and a joint jigger
My crew chief and good friend shaggy (Scott Sapp) is in now on this part of the build, he used to build sprint cars and the like, so we knew we were going to stretch and modify This chassis
It really came in handy having him around, pointing me in the right direction and helping bend a few or stretch a few bars to fit this unique body.

Put last coats of primer on today, maybe out at Atco’s national open in a few weeks!
Thanks to Tommy Depasqle who has helped with some of the bondo work, he got back from Florida just a few days ago and came over today to block some primer. Anybody that has done this kind of work knows that these last steps before painting are pretty nasty.
I better get some of these pictures up before it makes a debut
This is still some of the body preparation, taking the whole car to bare metal, loads of paint and crappy work under that silver. Gotta cut out everything that will be in the way

I have a 69 Datsun roadster that's been in the barn for 35 years that I've thought about doing the same thing with.

I love different cars. Sounds like a great idea. Get it going!
anyway at age 55. This will be my last race car I build. if I ever want another. I’m definitely going to buy it, way too much work.

Keith, I’m so impressed with your skills and work ethic on the roadster. Looking forward to seeing your ingenious approach to taking both cars to the track without buying a stacker.
