I was at Vic's place when he was building that car. He lived in my small town here near Oakland, Ca.
He used Jaguar wire wheels and left the bands out the the transmission-you drive it like a 3 speed Chevvy by just using the high clutch and the Chevvy trans.
Vic told me he was sorry he shortened the frame so much.
The car was built in the last 10 years.
The racing I am sure was limited to west coast car club tours.
