James,
Regretfully my list of projects with higher priority keep getting in the way. I just finished putting a V 8-60 in my neighbors T speedster, motor mounts, tranny mount, drive line, headers and exhaust, complete new pedal assembly new firewall and then I had a drunk pile into my lakes modified roadster last October and completely tore the rear end out, bent the frame, took out the right rear qtr panel so I have it completely apart, just finished fixing the frame, new qtr panel is next except I just bought a new (to me) Mori Seike lathe so I am presently cleaning it and prepping for paint and then I have to get it up and running. Plus I have "volunteered" to build the header for Steve Nelson's new F class motor and he wants to make Speed Week this summer! But I do have the lakester perimeter frame fabed and I bought an engine from Sumner last year so I have it setting in the frame, I just purchased a set of 17 x 3 aluminum wheels for the front so I can start on the front axle (Strange Eng spindles). So you can see that I am committed to the lakester project and I will get it done and out to the salt it just won't be this year.
