Hello Jack,
I was going over in mind what would have to be changed or modified to make it street legal. "Legal" would depend on State DMV regulations. Starting at the front:
Working headlights with wiring and maybe turn signals
Street tires and rims
Front Brakes (maybe not required but necessary) and brake lines. Speaking of brakes, car has a hand brake with small racing master cylinder.
Fully functional radiator and electric fan requiring moving a lot of stuff.
Full exhaust system, not a big problem.
Ground clearance with the oil pan could be an issue.
Tonneau cover would require extensive modification to ease entry and exit if full roll cage not removed, or a working door added and a windshield and wiper.
Car has a homemade dropdown steering box made with double roller chain and gears to slow down the steering ration, fine at 170 but not good in a parking lot. Also no provision for external lubrication.
Has a homemade 2 lever trans shifter with lockout for first gear, and no reverse linkage.
Did I mention only one seat?
Remove 200#'s of lead behind driver's seat.
Rearview mirror.
A couple more gages and a functional horn.
A different seat? OK for a while with SFI 20 firesuit.
Rear street tires.
Working brake lights.
I'm sure I have overlooked some things, but you get the idea.
Oh, and the real BIGGIE, a license plate.
Not to say it can't be done. Bill Brutsman a fellow San Diego Roadster Club member drove a '27 Roadster in Kansas. He would race it @ Bonneville one year after towing it out, and the next year drive it out and perform Patrol Duty.
Being competitive on the Salt and comfortable on the street do not go well together.
Thanks for showing an interest. It reminds me of the joys of building and continuous changing things on the 836.
Tom
