Termites and Bowties- Early Chevy Group

Six Ball,
I'm using 19" spokes on the front, with spacers to allow them to bolt up. I'm using 17" spokes on the back and they fit right over the Huck drums on the 39 rear axle. The spacers on the front make the wheel spacing the same as the 17" spokes on the rear. The car sits so high, a 6" total drop shouldn't create frame or oil pan clearance issues. That will also give the sit down between the wheels look I'd like. I don't have any doors and my quarter panels and rear is so rough, I might try a speedster body, like the one 2nd chance built.

 

Speedway is selling fiberglass 32 chevy fenders, decklids, front rear side aprons, gas tank covers now....

Wish they would sell a roadster body for cheap

 

That's exactly what I did with mine. A restorer not too far away purchased it for his next project.

 

I’ve seen that, I definitely need the front splash apron and fuel tank cover. I’ve thought about the deck lid too since mine is pretty crummy.

Most of that is still available in steel too

 

Yes and no, experimetals stock is drying up pretty quick exspecially the roadster metal they barely have anything left for body panels.

I cant find anything for roadster besides cowl panels, i just got a coupe door today that im gonna cut up

 

what are you looking for?
stock rear fenders are out there, front and rear aprons are out there. running boards are repopped, good or repopped side aprons are out there just gotta look.
Roadster metal......you gotta search, but it shows up from time to time

 

A Friends 1934 Coach That He Has Had Since 1970...

 

I have my original fuel tank cover from my '31, which I'm sure is the same as yours. Don't need it anymore as I'm installing my fuel tank in the rumble area. Brand new from Ammuscle is $427.50. Mine is original steel and far better quality. PM me for further details if you care to.

 

FFS somebody save this....cheap as F....
To far for me

Finally got back to working on the 35 Standard Took wood and made metal to size.I know it is overkill but I have the time I guess

 

Just picked up this '35 3W. Been in the same family since new!

 

@paul55 Oh Man....Congratulations...What a GEM!!! What's the plan??

 

Plan is simple... Paul needs to hot rod it!!!

 

I'll post some pics after I get it cleaned up a bit. I do need a pair of headlight lenses if anyone has any.

 

That's too clean to wreck. Just clean it up first and see what you have.

 

exactly

 

wreck?

 

Yes, you know screw up forever.

 

That 35 Standard coupe is a gem and only needs some air in the tyres

 

I prefer the term "Hot Rod" to "Wreck" but that might just be me.

 

Trust me, I need tires...fronts are just coming apart. I think I'll do an Outlaw chassis and chop it 3".

 

Sometimes I just shake my head with these sentiments posted, this is a hot rod site, not a restoration site, there is no such thing as a too nice car to hot rod if that is what the owner wishes to do with it!

 

here is some photos of a 34 cabriolet, in progress. Canadian built body.

 

Looks to be a 35 frame under the cabriolet?

he told me it was a 34 but you could be right. he specializes in 33-35 chevy open cars. I will post some of the stuff in his shop.

 

34 roadster all done.

 

33 roadster in original condition.

 

a pair of 34 roadsters, waiting to be done.

 

he said there was also another whole cabriolet in parts.
