Jorge;
When I decided to build a '34 Ford roadster, the first thing I did was look for a source for a fiber glass body. I was told about Dick Williams Poli-Form in Watsonville, CA at that time. I actually drove up to talk to him and my first question was is his body legal. He told me the mold is an actual splash from a steel '34. He also mentioned several people had run his bodies with success, including Chuck Salmen's Sum Fun roadster, which I believe holds or held records. I believe this is the Mariana Farms car now. What I was more concerned with was his fiber glass nose. I then contacted Russ Eyres and asked him about Poli-Forms nose, and he said it was legal as long as it was not tilted back too far, and he gave me a dimension for that. The next step was the frame, and where to start as I had no information. I went online and found Wescott's Auto web site and they gave all the frame dimensions for '32 and '33/'34 roadsters.
When I took my car to El Mirage in June for shake down, I asked Russ to come by my pit and look at my car closely to see if there was something that might cause me some problems, as I was more concerned about exhaust and an area around the cage, but he said everything was staisfactory.
One of the reasons I started this blog was for individuals who might be new to LSR and might want to build a car. My thought from day one was to build a car that is 100% safe and 100% legal. If you are going to take the time to do it right, and you are fortunate enough to go fast and possibly get a record, don't be stupid and build something that is questionable legality wise. I've talked to Russ Eyres dozens of times. I've talked to Roy Creel about fire systems, Lee Kennedy about safety equipment. I had Steve Davies come by and look at my frame during construction. If I had a buck for every question I asked, it would have paid for this car!
