Re: Team Woodfin's Bantam Roadster Build
The naming happened during conversation.
At the shop Jeff's uncle was checking out progress while Jeff was fretting over mounting a component. Jeff said, "because of how small this car is we have to give lots of thought to everything we mount. It is like putting 10 pounds of car in a 5 pound sack." Uncle said, " O, like Dolly Parton" After a time of reflection, Jeff named the roadster "Dolly" |

Re: Team Woodfin's Bantam Roadster Build
We are due an update with Jeff's roadster.
The last few weeks have shown huge strides in progress. One very large leap forward came from Jeff completing the EFI wiring. Doing so required moving the roadster to Jeff's home so he could focus on it un-interrupted. It is a tedious job and the daily operations and distraction of the shop were bogging down the process. I am very proud of his work, he did a great job and put the project back on fast track. [so to speak] The shocks are a new Strange design with oil reservoir, they move nice and smooth. |

Re: Team Woodfin's Bantam Roadster Build
Looking at the pics of the shocks and they look awesome, but the springs look way too heavy. Also if you needed a spring compressor to fit them on the shock, I'm sure you have too much spring. My guess would be around an 80 lb rating, maybe less. CN
