Cool. That lends itself to all kinds of creative possibilities...

Is there any benefit to having a switch like this? I would be worried about accidentally hitting it while driving, not that it would be dangerous but it would probably be an inconvenience. If you must have it may I suggest recessing it in the dash and fabricating an extension that is metal and more ornamental to fit the time period, a big plastic button doesn't speak 1927 to me. |

Not to worry, the plastic button wouldn't last long after the package is opened; and the switch wouldn't be positioned so that I would push it all the way in and shut the ignition off while driving. I'll have to reach for it.
As for the benefit, I couldn't say it any better than:

I'm starting to think Captain Kirk's whole "to boldly go where no man has gone before" line was just made up drama for the television cameras! Just when you think you're doing something really different...
Darn you King of all Research, now what are we gonna do?!? Just kidding that's a sweet hot rod One of the best mid-engine street rods I have ever seen - it looks like it came that way. I absolutely love his coil-overs!

Are you kidding? His is modern without a trunk and the radiator is in the front, not to mention 1+1 seating! The Timepiece is still uncharted waters.Think of this as an existing test model. You can see where the trunk will go and with some photochopping you can see the width. hmmm....

I have been playing with the numbers, trying to figure out how cheap I can do this; and how light I can make it. Obviously, the cheaper it is the faster I can have it built and start driving it. The lighter it is the more I can take it to far away locations. Ideally, I would like for it to be so light that I can flat tow it behind my Honda. I was worried about flat towing an automatic but a little "amateur-class" research found a solution. About those numbers...
If I really stick to the rat rod theme, and make use of what I have lying around, I can possibly get this car built, running, and registered for around $1500!
* 250.00 - chassis
* 750.00 - body
* 500.00 - mechanical; misc.
*$1500
I don't see how it can weigh more than 1000lbs:
* 500 - powertrain
* 350 - chassis
* 150 - body, int, misc.
* 1000lbs
Help me think. Am I forgetting or missing anything?
