Ed, what are the dimensions on this car? Don't remember seeing it last time I was at your place. How about a picture of the rear. Maybe if I can sell something I would have room.

As new as that OHC kit looks is it original or did someone reproduce them at one time?
By the way NICE!

Good Evening Ed,
I'm sure you knew Ron Kipling here in Washington, I purchased all the T race cars from his estate, including the Riverside Special on the TT truck. One was a yellow single stick fronty. when I saw yours I 1st thought it was my yellow car. Yours and mine were almost identical.
I have 1 left from the collection, I kept the dual overhead cam Gallivan/15 T roadster. Loud and very quick and lots of fun.

Don't think so- pretty sure Robert Weitzel has LaRue's old twin cam car.

Re: FS 1920 Model T Ford based SOC Frontenac race car
I'm not sure who owned the car before Ron Kipling in Seattle. I was surprised that Ed had it. I sold it to a Dr Basher in Northern California, and he passed away before he ever took delivery. I had it transported to his wife after he died and have no idea what she did with it.
I can tell you it was quick to go and damn fast. It was a fun car to drive. I actually taught my wife how to start and drive it and she was really angry with me when I sold it. She loved to take it out on the county roads where we lived and rip it up and down the rods in front of our home. It was her favorite model t.
just sayin'

Built by Doc Pruden for Shell Hill climbs in the 70's possibly. Was red originally.
This is not his red DO Fronty. Totally different car he built.
