1957 Triumph Rat Rod Project

Time in Garage: 30 hours-20 over the last week..10 in mid June

I am back in the garage. I decided to resurrect the '57 Triumph and place the body on the chassis I have been building for the past few years. This is a definite change of direction but I feel the right one to get on with my project.

The rationale to do so is complicated and multifaceted.

1. Selling the '57 for parts was not successful when attempted in 2013.
2. The value of the car is not realized if "parted out"
3. The '57 tub is very structurally sound
4. The '57 is an ideal candidate for a rat rod project
5. I can use the  '57 as a test bed for checking out the other motor and transmission and components
6. The rat rod approach seems appealing to people who have viewed the project.
7. I can get a sports car on the road sooner than the '59
8. I can get a much better return on my investment.
