    Your avatar suggests you might also like the latest episode of Itchy Boots on YouTube where she visits the small village of La Higuera in Bolivia. That's the village where el medico was executed. There was an action between the CIA led government forces and the revolutionaries, he escaped but was captured two days later, brought back to the village, and summarily executed.

    Jay Leno's garage is my new favourite "TV" show (its on youtube) but it has stuff like the 58 Rolls royce with an LS7 and appropriate running gear, and the 53 Buick with an LS9. My kind of car.
    Not quite that extreme. I have most of a '35 Auburn boat tailed speedster stashed as a supposed retirement project. I've been undecided as to quite which direction to take it, available machinery providing options ranging from the more practical and possibly historically accurate V12 with a manual box, live rear and drop beam front axle to a blown LS3 in a Lotus style Y tube/bulkhead chassis with multi-link independent suspension.

    The decision to use a fresh built blown injected 400 SB sort of helps define the rest of the build and It'll likely be based on S Type Jag running gear and a TH700 in a reasonably simple chassis. There's no point in getting too high tech, it's never going to be a race car, it just needs to keep the reasonably modest 450HP in line and sound good doing so. It's also got the advantage that I've worked with all that shit before.

    Believe it or not the biggest challenge may be retaining the roof hatch behind the cockpit, there's just not room for upper seat belt mounts there without some seriously high tech structural developments and I'm not prepared to compromise the rag top or put up with anything resembling a roll bar.
    Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon

    they have to sit right and that one does not. Inch or so longer shocks, inch or so less front travel, ditch the wheels and use earlier suzuki hubs and spoke wheels.

    And I am fucking done with battleship grey and a brown seat.

    If you are doing a special, make it fucking special. All others are measured against this:

    And, yet no pictures of that?

    Sure.

    Also I don't trust that Turkey to perform that with any skill.
