Fronty head is in the 3K + range - Warford another 2K range.

On a side note: not sure why they have the demountable rim bolts on reverse on the front wheels - nuts should face out to change a flat ???????

Here's my Racer.
To get the correct spacing instead of using spacers, they mounted the Chevrolet wheels backwards. Have seen that done but not optimal. I made spacers for mine so the mounted with nuts/rims facing the correct direction.
