Topic: Would "Stumpy" pass tech...?

So,... If we were to seriously consider adding this car as another Slant 6 powered Lemons Valiant... Would the stump pass tech...?

The stump has been trimmed down to hood level.

This is beautiful.  I hope it does pass tech.  It's behind the bumper!

Re: Would "Stumpy" pass tech...?

Call it  an organic-metallic bumper, similar to those organic-metallic brake pads we hear so much about.

Seriously I don't know which to feel more sorry for, the car or the tree. Probably  the tree.

Pity it's on the driver's side. If it were on the passenger side you could argue  you were trying to equalize your corner weights using, organic, recyclable, gluten free ballast.

Excellent pic

No problem, just convert it to RHD and then take advantage of the organic ballast... didn’t they sell these in Australia?

true story: the sway bar bushings on our team's Conquest were(still are after numerous races!) made on a lathe with a piece of ironwood!

Make the Battery out of wood. Now that would be cool.
