This is my race car..

The project is on hold, and the car is for sale. 

HA/GR ^the HORRIBLE

The object of this class is to have fun....

2007 - The car began life as a club project being built mainly in my garage in Cincinnati. It was designed by Jim Leis (Blown49 on the HAMB).

5-15-08 After the club came apart in Cincinnati, We all took back those things we paid for. The car was completely disassembled. My job caused a move to St. Louis and the winter in outside storage was not kind to the car's chassis.

As you can see it gathered a light coat of surface rust.

6-06-2008 I have almost completed the removal of that rust. I'm doing a bit at a time and painting the metal to prevent a re-occurrence of the rust due to the dampness here from all the rain.

6/10/2008 - Above....   Another front end has been obtained and last night after an epic 2 week struggle and with the assistance of a good friend named Jim Brinkley, the perch pins released their strangle hold on the axel.....FINALLY!  The carnage was EVERYWHERE.

6/30/2008

Finally got the Flathead back between the rails.

The bones have been cut, cleaned and primered.

When the Bones are in place these ends will need to be bent to allow the Spring and Shackles to work.

Next job will be to clean up the axle and backplates

I got patterns made for the sheet metal on the sides, and cowl

Still looking for a tranny mount.

The end for today:

August 4th:

Front end mockup:

Current status:

The car has been moved to another garage for storage:

We were in the process of lowering the roll cage 8" when I pulled the plug on the project. The cage is mostly un-attached, so the chassis could either be used for a Hot Rod or an HA/GR car. It is in a dry garage, and I will either part the car out, re-do the car into an RPU or something, or sell it outright.
