Hey everybody, This won’t be popular with the purists! My father bought my 55 simplex in Bakersfield in 1972ish and had it as yard art until 2010 when I drug it to my house. It sat in my garage for near 10 years when COVID hit and I had more time at home than I was accustom to. I started the fabrication in March and minus a few details I finished it in late July (some evenings and weekends).
This build was my spin on a rat rod board tracker. Built with almost 100% of stuff I had around (including the 20hp Kohler motor) and what I didn’t have I built from scratch. I became a part of the site to keep up with the simplex world and start working on some final details I need to work out. I have several build pics, might be worth explaining the build if there is an interest.
