I just want a cool looking DD, with the added storage space it would work out perfectly.

Handling is great, I had her to the Glen in mid May with Chin and I had a blast. The car obviously needs to be driven differently than it did before but in no way do I have a pig that can't handle the curves.
Not sure on weight just yet, but I do have a local shop with scales that I need to get to. I stopped in last weekend but they had too many cars being worked on to take the time to get me weighed in. They'll be modifying my rolbar for me so while it's in I'll just ask to have it weighed .

The thing you have to realize is that most people are stupid and narrow minded. That being said, I think this is an amazing project. Seems that LSX Bimmers are becoming more and more popular.
Just read the comments. Idiots......and btw Duesenberg was making an American DOHC motor well before 1955.
