Fantastic hot rod! Thanks for all the photos.

Agree with those who recommend boxing the frame. Too flexible without it.

 

Looks great- nice work!

 

This car rules man! Awesome work.

 

This is a Av8 not a street rod, if you think this needs boxed then you just don’t understand what it is, boxing has its place but not on traditionally built pre 48 style car

Damn....where'd ya get that license plate ?......and do you think pop's would adopt me....? nice - ya'know stuff there Rusty !

 

Fantastic Build...Period...

 

You nailed on this ride!! Great Work!

 

Great roadster

 

It's perfect except for 2 things....the front needs bug guts and the underside needs road grime. I volunteer my services to add those items to it.

 

Perfect, call it done & drive it !

 

Love it!

 

Couple curious questions......I see the crab type distributor. Did you change out the timing gears from the 49-53 type to the 35-48 type?

The generator appears to be the 40-48 type that uses a voltage regulator, yet you’re using the fan mount type pulley. Any idea which front bearing is in there? We get asked these questions all the time and I like to see how guys solve those problems.

 

Great roadster build and thanks for sharing you guys build the best cars!

 

The tranny cross member you used what donor vehicle did it come from?

Thanks
Monte

 

Sorry.....reread the thread, F1 cross member. You have a fine talent!
