Good Evening All,
Now that the shell is ready for construction it's time to post up the build outline. The main purpose of this car is to be a Mountain Bike Hauler since Mountain Biking is my first love with Car shows being a close second. The goal is to combine my the two and have the ability to drive to all of the nearby Good Guys Show and then on the way home hit the nearby trails. With that being said the car has to be dual purpose built. It needs to have a good set of street tire and then have an extra set of tires for the Good Guys Events. Last year at Good Guys Columbus I fell in love with a very understated Mustang built by Pinkee's Hot Rods. If you pick up the last months issue of Popular Hot Rodding you can see the feature they did on the car. After reading that article I new I was heading in the right direction. We are going to try to stick with the Vintage Race Car Theme without being overstated since I want to be able to street drive the car and not get pulled over every time I drive the car. And then there is that Mountain Bike issue where are we going to put the bike. Let's just say that this is going to freak some of you out and others are going to think it's awesome. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...5f0f30a-me.jpg There are a couple other cars that has truly inspired me and this build. When the car heads to a track event I will print up some removable decals that will instantly make it look more like a Vintage TA race car. Kinda like this beast. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...2b8223f-me.jpg I have looked at this car for at the last couple years and I just love the look. So this car will also lend some idea's to the build. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...063a456-me.jpg another very clean build. http://garagescene.net/upload/2012/0...8-163821c9.jpg As for modification - most of them will be simple. The car will be mostly bolt together with very reliable part and most importantly something that if I break down they won't leave me Stranded.

Im more interested in your plan for the bike rack. Im a roadie and have planned on using my car for trips to various races around the state. I love the idea of showing up in this snarling beast of a car amongst the other overly environmentally conscious riders in their gas sippers. (For those of you who are environmentally conscious, I offset my large vehicular carbon footprint with cycling to work and an electric lawnmower) I cant fit my bike and gear in the trunk and a trunk mount rack will not work. My only other option is to fit a removable trailer hitch and use a hitch mount rack or utility trailer. I like the utility trailer idea as it also would double for road trip duty to various auto events. The trailer hitch would be removable using as many bolts on the frame as necessary to ensure it is secure. :thumbsup:
