Wow, that’s awesome! Please tell us more about it. What’s the history of it? Looks like the frame was professionally done by someone who was an old school stock car chassis’s builder. Is that a GM 4 Cyl in it? Automatic or manual? Where’s the fuel tank and radiator mounted?
 
Started this project when I was 21. Beginning to look like it won’t be completed.. I’m 74 now.
B18 Engine from a 1963 Volvo P 1800

Frame made with mechanical pipe bender. Originally (1973-76) it had a Volvo straight axle.
