By Chris Olsen on Monday, October 18, 2010 - 08:28 am:Pretty! The wheel is offset, how wide is the seat? Does the driver have to scootch over to the left?

By Tom Butterworth on Tuesday, October 19, 2010 - 05:58 am:Chris the seat is the width of the frame , driver sits in the middle and the wheel is offset .

That really is an inspiration. The frame sills alone are just awesome workmanship. As you know, I'm still tromping through my first attempt at one of your original Faultless 2-man cab designs. I'm slowly getting there and I should be posting new pictures of the skinned body soon. I'm fascinated by the steering box and column set up. Love the Fiat style radiator shell also...Fantastic work!

By Tom Butterworth on Tuesday, October 19, 2010 - 01:43 pm:The radiator shell is a Fronty copy .

When you questioned the wheel offset I thought that you were talking about tires as in the following pictures not stearing wheel! LOL
By JAMES STARKEY on Wednesday, October 20, 2010 - 11:38 am:Tom, I really like the circular openings for the radius rods. It looks so much cleaner than the usual oversize notches cut out in the frame covers on most Speedster/race cars. Wonderful work! Jimmy
By Hal Davis - Lyons, GA on Wednesday, October 20, 2010 - 11:55 am:What is the scoop for on the left side?
By Tom Butterworth on Wednesday, October 20, 2010 - 12:37 pm:The scoop is there caused I thought it looked kool . It will be cut out and a trim ring on inside traping a wire screen .
By Hal Davis - Lyons, GA on Wednesday, October 20, 2010 - 02:14 pm:For cockpit cooling?
By Scott Gilham on Wednesday, October 20, 2010 - 03:00 pm:Tom, That is just really nice. I don't know what else to say.
By Tom Butterworth on Thursday, October 21, 2010 - 06:04 am:Thanks Scott , I am starting another one man car for a friend of mine . I can take step by step photos as I go and post them here .
The side scoop will cool the cockpit some , but I just liked the way it looks . Another car Im doing has one just like it on the hood over the carb .
