Thanks for the comment Gary. I am not hampered by experience! Frank, you are correct with my intentions of getting the air from the base of the windshield. It will be another outside of the box solution, thanks to you and another friend Cliff Williamson. I'll post it as soon as it's fabed. By the way, when are you coming back for dinner?

Hmmm! thats not going to create lift under the tires is it? because I am sure its hard enough steering anyway at those speeds. I was thinking more of blowing the exhaust down on the front of the tire,Like 3:o'clock position, give more downforce and help the final outcome of speed by helping drive the front wheels.

Hi, Chuck, yeah, it is low and surprisingly nothing rubs or drags the ground. Hi, Frank. It is the same yellow as the 57 F-100. No one will want this "through away" after the salt gets through with it.

I figured speed and salt would sand blast the paint but does it rust them out too? Chuck

Charlie, knowing how you came by the body, seems like nobody wanted it to start with!  It's a H--- of alot more desireable now than before you got it. when you're done with it, send it to the midwest, it'll look like all the rest of them up here.

Yeah, Chuck, some racers only get about 6 or 7 trips to the salt before they need to do major repairs, especially the frame. Some pockets in a boxed frame just seem impossible to remove all of the salt. I've talked about using pressure washers, rainbird sprinklers (for hours) and still had clumps of salt fall out months later. You got that right Frank, easy come, easy go. 1-1/8" front sway bar. (need to fab one for the rear)
Proportioning valve and brake lines ran to bulkheads on the firewall.
