[Roadsters] What's up with the hood on this car?

[Pat Horne]

Looks like someone set the engine in, hen noticed that there was no room 
for the radiator. There is no choke or throttle cable, and no fuel 
lines. I'd bet that the drivetrain is just sitting in there.

Anyone know what the length difference is on a Z and 1500 trans? I can't 
tell if there is a shifter in there or not.

Any way, with the front end sitting so low on the dirt, I wonder if the 
frame is still in tact enough to pull it onto a trailer! Rust free 
Arizona car, this isn't!

Peace,
Pat
