That's a lot of cool ideas, Jim! This car is really a master class in old-school hotrodding, which is something that really needs to be revisited more popularly, especially with how cheaply a lot of modern parts can be had, so long as one is willing to cut and weld some stuff. The use of factory parts throughout gets a big thumbs-up, as nobody needs (actively moving) heim-jointed crud in a car that actually might get driven more than once a year.
The propane thing is kind of confusing, although I guess you do still see it being applied to some Jeeps and buggies here and there (if you're looking). Beyond the thrill of smelling like a trailer park about ready to burn, what is the advantage of using propane over a simple (factory) EFI conversion?
If you haven't looked, you'd probably get a kick out of the GrassrootsMotorsports forums . . .
