[Roadsters] FW: strange body mods, Sacto CL ad

[Gordon Glasgow]

Sometimes it's because the big bellhousing makes it necessary to offset the
pedals to the left, leaving little room for the clutch pedal. Besides, the
new automatics they run in hot rods and drag cars are much better than the
old ones and can shift faster than a stick.

why do these swaps, more often than not, use automatics?

Looks to me like they were going for the Cobra look.  Unfortunately it looks
more like a Nash to me, at least from the front.



I can almost smell the exhaust leaks from here.
