Projects 1930 Oliver Roadster Build

Car looked great out there and mostly behaved heading in and out
Yes...I trailered it to a friends house a few blks away and drove in

 

look's great!

 

Thanks!

 

@oliver westlund what's the longest actual driving trip so far?

Dave

 

Little over a mile, had it up to 45 mph

 

Wooooo doggies!!! Just kidding; I think that you've done a good job on it.

 

Thanks, I'm just working through the shakedowns. Need to get some working guages, thatd help. Rn idk if its hot, has oil pressure or anything else

 

If it boils over, it's hot. If it seizes up, it is out of oil! If it sputters and dies, it's out of gas. Ever drive a stock Model T?


Dave

 

I've never driven a stock Model T, but these days, I think I would much rather have a bit of a warning before any of these things identify a problem.
I vote to install the gauges, for a bit of per-warning before the drastic old days issues announce themselves.

 

If there isn't an oil leak it is out of oil. If the radiator isn't leaking.....if there isn't a gas leak ,,,,,,,If rain isn't pouring in around the doors & windows you are in Nevada.

 

Hahahahaha

 

Ha ha a stock model t would be working hard to hit 45 too though! Mostly I have been trying to make sure nothing is loose, nothing important is gonna fall off etc. Its not like I restored what was there, EVERYTHING has been fabricated out of thin air and I have never done a build like this before. Just trying to ease it into being a car and making sure I dont die in it

 

I know Oliver! I am amazed at what you have built from a pile of rust and parts. Just givin' ya crap!
My '27 T roadster with 3-1 gears will run 60-65.

You did say stock tho.
