I don't know who built the chassis. But being a round tube frame, I figure it was built on a jig and not the shop floor. Looks like all quality parts and craftsmanship. Even down to the gauges, quality parts That is what sold me on the car. I washed and dried it today in the sun and wind (65 deg, 35 mph). Tomorrow I will make a spot in the new garage and wipe down the frame tubes with a rag and WD-40, while inspecting things like the heim joints, etc.

The machine shop is just one of my hobbies. I worked in one as a college student back in the late '70's.... Learned a lot and like doing it. With my welding, I like to think I can fabricate almost anything... LOL

As far as the engine combo, just putting some thought into it now. I wanted a good chassis, but I don't plan on putting too much power in it. Maybe 650 HP will move this chassis just fine for this old man. Good retirement plan!
