I really hate you guys.
It's like a gaggle of drug dealers all huddling around one poor defenseless addict curled up in a ball while they pump him full of automotive crack cocaine.
The only thing saving me right now is that one of you enablers is 1000 mile from me, and the other is 1500 miles in the opposite direction! And the doggone GRM "hooptie" rule isn't helping either!
I need my Mommy.
Its able to roll which makes it 1000 times better than any other Bradley GT I've ever seen.
Even more fun...right now the car has 60W spotlights for headlights and 50ct red incan Christmas lights in each tail light hole. They were lit up at Christmas and it looked really cool. Leave 'em in for the Challenge.
I was surprised at how many e-mails I got about the car, at least 12-15. But the lead candidate is a guy who runs LeMons and has interest in using it. Even if he doesn't give the top value offer, he's at the head of the field and gets first crack. I'd love to see the car run LeMons.

Amazingly enough there's one around here that I see on the road from time to time. Seeing it was the first time I'd seen one operating on the street, ever.

When I was a kit there was one that I would see from time to time. There was also a guy that lived a few blocks down that had a Coyote kit car (like the car from Hardcastle and McCormick). But yeah, I don't think I've seen one on the street in the last 25 years.
Whats the GRM Hooptie rule?
I think lemons has a class for air cooled VW. (at least I know they used to). This should get you a pretty good head start in that class if that is the motor direction you go.
I have a Corvette windshield for it as well. Got a teeny, tiny crack at the top, but would easily cover up with a Grass Roots Motorsports sticker. Here in South Coastal Massachusetts for free if you want it. Came out of my Kellison GT.
If you get serious, I have a pair of tube reinforced racing rear diagonals/bearing carriers that I'll let you have for a deal. New bearings and seals already installed. Also got heavy duty front and rear sway bars, urethane bushings and new stainless clamps. Again, left over from the Kellison.
You (or anyone) get serious about this, shoot me a PM, I've got a roll bar with front and rear supports, AutoMeter gauges, racing seat, custom shifter, steering wheel and adapter, pedal cluster, eight spoke alloys, drilled/lightened ebrake, drilled/lightened directional housing, etc. Again, for intended use in the Kellison. Give you a good deal.
There are 2 of these at EZ-Pull in New Ringgold, PA for parts as well.

They no longer charge the budget for traveling expenses to go "pick up your hooptie".
OK, so lets see...
The car is in Allentown, PA.
The windshield and doors are in SD.
A second windshield, suspension, rollbar, guages, and interior bits are in Massachusetts.
Additional parts are available in New Ringold, PA.
Fabrication assistance and crazy fiberglass help in south NJ.

Anybody want to form a team to execute this plan? It sounds like with enough people we could haul everything to one central point and build something for almost free...
Just a thought. I'm in 
..Must resist...must resist...the Dark side is strong with this one...must resist...
I'M IN.

If I wasn't already building someone else's crazy ideas in my shop I'd tell you to drop it in NJ and come visit it when you wanted to work :)
Klayfish, you have mail.
And I no longer have a marriage.
I've been away from the computer since yesterday, I'm not at work today.
SVreX, I may be able to save your marriage. The car is still in my driveway, but it's tentatively spoken for. The LeMons guy I mentioned earlier is supposed to come Sunday morning for the car. If he doesn't, I'll let you know. I'm pumped for the prospect of one day seeing this thing on the track. My 10 year old will be pissed...he has always said he wants me to keep it so he can restore it.
Whew. That was close.
I almost had to take this to the $20XX Challenge, after a 15,000 mile road trip!
Or you could...

Whew 'cause I figured out how to clear out the "other person's project" with your help and work on that car up here for you ;) Wouldn't save you any driving though, this other car needs to get to GA
