I have been looking for one of these for a while now and came up with this gem.
This should help speed up the roadster build. :)

Yea that one looks really nice. BTW I forgot to tell you Larry also has two new front tires for it if  you can find rims. I think you should chrome the seat. :albino:

Whoa, that looks nice! Form and function!

So when are you putting a V8 flattie in it?

Best thing I did to my tractors was change them to 12 volts. Now I'm not recommending that you do that, but my Ford didn't start that good when it was warm, and 12 volts solved that problem.

no chrome seat, but the skinnies are cool.
