Got the yellow one running Wow the 2054 really runs good compared to the 1641 in the Low Down. Found some Beard seats and gauges will be driving soon. Disks brakes and trans wooks great too.

Jealous as hell JJ!
Keep up the progress and you'll be on the road again in no time!

But... have to ask:
Quit holding out on us and give us the goods on the white nosed beast between the truck and the purple lowdown in the garage!

The beast is a Acura K24 powered 6sp mid engined Lotus 7 style car. Thanks to that build and the nice people at the Big Bear event I built the Low Down.
Had the set up table ready to make more storage in shop with. I was working 3 weeks in LA and one at home so I attened the Big Bear show and decided then to build a Manx. I convinced myself since I had a engine,trans and body with pan I would build on table before I moved it. WRONG pan was junk so a full on build took place.
So if I did not allready have table from Lotus build I may mot have build chassie. Now that lead to Yellow car but thats another story

Boy, am I glad we don't live closer! Your projects are killing me...
That mid engine rig is SLICK!!!
Is that a Porsche motor in the purple one?
So now that the yellow one runs on its own power which will you have at Big Bear???
