As Mal stated, don't laugh. That's the secret design for Mal's new Speedster. The "compound" part is the secret of the vehicle. It will utilize TWO Packard straight eights mounted in-line and attached to a modified pushbutton shifted 3 speed o/d transmission.
I can't reveal any more, and have revealed too much already.....

Since it was a nice day today before the tornado warnings, I figured I'd get some work done on the Speedster. I removed the front drum off of the hub, along with the backing plate that holds the brake shoes on. While I was degreasing the front spindle and accessories, I "decided" to remove a portion of skin from my right index finger, a feat not easily accomplished. This was an awakening experience to say the least!
Then I started to remove the rear axle and springs, but I cannot get the two front bolts on the springs out for anything. I tried to use my biggest impact gun on it, but to no avail. So, they are sitting in some PB Blaster until tomorrow when I'll go back out there and try to get them loose. It wouldn't be that hard, if it wasn't for the close quarters between the bolt head and the frame. For whatever reason, they're stuck and need a LOT more persuasion than I was ready to give it today. Also, I put the headlights on there a couple of months ago, but never took and pics. So, here's a pic of the headlights mounted, but probably not in their final position.

I always say, if you don't bleed when working on it, you don't need it!
