turtledeck(s) make these cars sing...bobbed rear not so much. IMHO

 

Zipper Lakester built in '99

 

This is my latest pic, '25 Bonneville/Track T with 59ab flatty, and as you can see it's on an "A" frame... Currently a project car for TROG or RPM Nationals, or whatever comes along... Drug this home about 6 months ago from a guy who got it from his fathers estate & knows nothing about cars and got tired of paying $350 mo. for storage...

 

Mine.

The story of my life. Always a day late and a dollar short. First time I've seen this thread. The whatever as it currently is

 

Primer, upholstery, tonneau and a Marty Strode roll bar…. I’m gonna call it done!

 

Pic from Hunert Car Pileup. Don’t know how I missed this thread!

 

But you know what the problem is with us coming in waaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy late? Now we have seen so many other neat roadsters. And it's like the old Burt Lahr commercial for Lays potato chips, no one can have just one. Just ask Marty.

 

It's done....don't change a thing.....nice ride.

 

Saved this picture from a few years ago.

 

Neat car, is there a build thread about it?
Click and hold on this photo and select search Google lens and enjoy all the other goodness that appears, a lot of inspiration for anyone building a modified/track roadster style car.

 

Rich , that little car would be more done if this was under it! Just say'n

 

Here’s dads @Wide 5 Wolfe

 

Marty is the man!

 

Joe Kerr (Jokerr Fab) built the little black roadster for Bob Lathery several years ago. I don’t know if either are on the HAMB.

 

Another slick one!

 

My old buddy Ernie handed this one down to me.

Thanks Boner, Ernie owned and was driving in the above picture. He has been gone for three years now, he handed #8 down to me, 20 days before we lost him. I finally took it out and ran it.

 

Another saved picture.

 

One of the reasons I saved picture is I don’t think I’ve seen this kind of front suspension. Comments?

 

Looks like a torsion bar setup. If you look at my post above, you’ll notice dads car is similar. Albeit not as graceful! That’s beautiful!

 

Track roadster, not a street rod. Hal Q C with slip in axles. Clutch drive in/out box so I can start the engine. Aluminum body. 296 C I D engine. N O S Hilborn. N O S Schoeder 8-1. 2 x 4 x .083 tube frame.
