give us some information,...please.

1. Frame number and engine number( if the engine is original to
that car ).
2. Is there a gas tank number?
3. Photo of the lower firewall,...where the hood meets the firewall.
4. Photos in general of the car, including some interior shots

With this information we can date the car...close to the month(s)
it was made.

Dudley,

I haven't posted any threads about the car yet, as it's not really a car yet.

The car of topic will ultimately be a 1927 roadster on a 1928 frame with engine number 415. Will simply be a collection of parts mostly from 1927 and 1928, but sort of building it around the #415 engine, which is why the request for AR information. Sort of the idea that the car could have started life in late 1927 with a remaining Roadster body. The car will not be a restoration, but in fact a period correct, pre-war, purpose built race car in honor of the man (neighbor and friend) who passed and had dreams of building such a car. He had an early 1928 Roadster with several AR parts, but I do not think it was an actual AR. So I'm doing it the way he talked about.
