Title: South Aussie Fuel Roadster
Post by: Grumpy32 on February 16, 2021, 03:34:53 AM: Hi,
I've done the intro thing in the intro thing folder.
So I guess this is the best spot to show my project. I will post some more pics when I work out how to do it on my laptop... till then this one is all there is... :roll:

I am planning on running it in C/Fuel, but with some wise advise from some other wise guys it will be able to slip into Gas, AIR, and maybe even Modified Roadster with some extra body work on the front. But that is all well down the track, gotta get out there first...
Engine wise it is a SBC with Enderle injection, trans is a Clutch TH400, and rear is Quick Change.

Cheers, Glenn

Oh, thanks to the moderators for this forum, it's full of great knowledge... :cheers:

Do whatever you can to get as much of that steering, suspension and other rods and bits out of the air as you can. Good luck, keep us updated.

Hey. Thanks for the USD's. I put them into the 'liner and look how Bob treats it. Besides, people up here don't seem to like my stuff. I sold 3 cars down your way (counting NZ) and some parts. Never get to hear from the rest of the stuff.

Post by: Grumpy32 on September 06, 2021, 09:45:23 PM: I am still getting along with my roadster, I have a working bee planned on Sunday to pull the thing apart so I can weld up the frame.
That will be a good progress point, once the frame is welded and painted it is putting it back together, no more test fitting.
I pulled it out front of my place to compare it to our 32 sedan....
