Hello, I am in love with this roadster. I saw it in the model A thread. Does anybody have any information on it? I think it's a hemi, not sure. So it has a boxed model A frame? Can that frame handle the horsepower? I would love to know more about it. I can't get it out of my head. It is perfect.
YUM!! Tire to fender fit, spot on. Ground profile, spot on, Headlights, killer, Whoever did the windshield and Top, O.M.G! Nailed it! And the 348-W is frosting on the Cake.
Easy to see why you're in love. She's beautiful. Nice body. I bet she cooks too. Does she have a sister?
Rear Divcos, right? That top and windshield look bitchin in profile, but you are looking thru the wheel like a little old lady (tall guy grumble).
Beautiful car, no doubt! Just for the edification of the OP and anyone else who may be wondering, the Chevy W motor (Mark I Big-Block) is about the exact opposite of a Hemi from an engine design perspective. There is no combustion camber in the cylinder heads on W motors. The heads are flat on the fire deck, like a diesel engine. The shape of the piston crown and the heads being mounted at a non-perpendicular angle to the cylinder bore axis define the combustion chamber. In other words, as close to a true "wedge" motor as you can get. W Series Head - Look Mom, No combustion chambers. W Motor Diagram Chrysler Hemi Head Fire Deck Hemi Diagram
very nicely done , perfect (and Bluebear said do not box the model A frame because its not traditional )
There's a throwback reference. I think I actually found and joined the HAMB after reading a thread about that, 20 years ago. The roadster in question is really pretty, but I'm confident I wouldn't be able to sit in the driver's seat with the top on.
Eric Black is very talented. More info here: https://www.jalopyjournal.com/?p=27442 And he has a great eye for cars and hot rods.
I think the car is still in Eric’s neck of the woods as I see his current roadster with the W powered one now and then
