Replica S2 Vintage Racecar

[11Budlite]

I bought this rolling chassis from Automotive Restorations/Vintage Racing Services back in December of last year. It was fabricated from original Series 2 plans with some of the typical reinforcements to strengthen the weak original design. I had hoped to build it up as a vintage racecar with my son or son-in-law, but they both have young families and not a lot of extra time, so it doesn't look like that's going to happen any time soon. With the arrival of my 310S coming in the next couple weeks this one is going on the back burner. Here are a few of the details:
