[Land-speed] Rear End Ratios..

[drmayf]

Dave, lemme boggle your head a bit, lol... I also used to mess around 
with the 1954 supercharged Kaiser Manhattan Special Deluxe. I has the 
same ratio and same tapered axle hub as the Sunbeam Tiger.  If you look 
into this months Hot Rod you can see the Kaiser in a two door version. 
Mine were 4 door. Actaully a nice riding car but absolutley no corrosion 
protection at all...
