I really like this car! Give's me some thoughts and how to's on my "maybe " project Sectional riveted body panels make a lot easier to fabricate for sure. Thanks for posting this Jesse!
My pleasure to post it! I love these early racers the most, Edwardian, I think I've heard them referred to... but monster engines, tall tires, open cockpits, boat tails, and lots of carbs! Oh, and NOISY! I kid you not, you'll find a LOT of them in the blog archives! Have you seen the JAP racer? https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search/label/JAP%20racecar The Beast of Turin? https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search/label/Beast%20of%20Turin Mephistopheles? The Botafogo Special? https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search?q=Mephistopheles there are many more examples, these ones just came to mind easily
I am aware of some of those cars and do like them a lot. Will look at some of these links after I clear some medical issues and other time consuming crap. Maybe I can get a government grant to research my interests. Seems everyone else is on their payroll!
