I plan to have it there Jim. Rides are free, but, without mentioning names, I am afraid several of our "full sized" members may not fit between the fenders.

I think that a short racing style windshield would be a nice touch.

Got all the major parts pretty much in position.    Got the front axle and steering figured out.  Still need to get an engine and build a clutch.

How much drop does a frame flip give ya?

Flipping the frame lowers it about 6",  but I also cut out the center of the flipped frame and added another frame below the two ends.  This lowered the engine about 9" total.

The height of the engine dictated the height of the hood, hood stand, and floor boards.   The spark plug actually protrudes thru the hood into the air vent.

@Ed Kennell Ed does the Big Show allow Drag Racing ? You could make a $ or 2 with the Low Rider. can not wait to see it.

Awesome build Ed. I only regret not finding this thread until tonight. I never would have thought of flipping the frame to lower a tractor. That thing is too cool, and looks like a blast to drive too.
