Melvin Dick's LaDawri Daytona

The body was laying in a field in Lakeview, OR.  Someone had put a rectangular tube frame with early Chevy rear and Corvair front under it.  This was approximately 1985.  I bought it and it sat in my back yard until 1998.  It now has a rectangular tube frame with round tube roll cage, 9 in. ford rear (full floating, spool, 4:56 gears, dual rear discs), Chassiworks Mustang II front with discs, Pinto rack and pinion, aluminum radiator, BBC 427 roller motor, Continental 4500 stall convertor, Shorty glide with brake,  gauges, shifter etc.  It will run low 10's to high 9's in this configuration.
