Hot Rods SUHRsc Track Roadster Update #4

I figured I would post an update on my car since I had it somewhat together and outside today.

Absolutely nothing is "done" but im gradually digging away at it.

This is just a filler before the final running and driving post.

 

Capital...simply capital!!!

 

super-metroid man..... swingin'

 

Lookin' sweet there Zach!
Super theme music too...

Stewart Warner, Century boat gauges...
5000rpm tach and the 4 others, no speedometer

yep, i guess they were in a wood dash?

 

kewl beans daddy-o...........

 

looks great! ( I don't know the cool vintage lingo, sorry )

 

Love the shape of the nose! Great they way you continued the narrowing of the hood and nose to match the cowl. Very nice. Clever shock mount also. Can't wait to see it finished.

Rex

 

You are doing the H.A.M.B. proud.

 

Simply insperational. That right there is my dream car. Great job Zach!

 

That is one sexy bitch.

 

that is just so so cool. I cant wait to see it done.

 

Looking great. Stance is spot on.

I can't wait to see the windshield on it.

 

This car is so rad it's hard to come up with something interesting to say about it...

Great work Zach... I can't wait to see the progress.

I'd love to see it in some steelies too....

 

that's some killer metal work.the whole car works for me.congrats.

If a person didn't know better he would think that car was an old hotrod built by some metal mater with just the right eye.....................but we know better, can we say we knew you when!?

 

That thing is absolutely the epitome of a roadster.

And it keeps getting better and better. Thanks for the clip.

ps: Digging the "In the Mood" background theme

 

Damn...love that nose!

 

Zach:

Words can't describe how awesome that car is. Truly inspiring. Keep it going, man.

Tim

 

Cool man.
Puts me "in the mood"

 

Beautiful Zach, just beautiful. That is going to be one incredible car.

 

thanks for the compliments everyone

this is an old hot rod, Tman....just built 60 years too late
(its all period 1949)

as for the steelies....

 

Looks great, man! Can't wait to see that thing rollin' around the streets of Central PA.

 

'Looks fabulous--like I used to wish the real ones would be. Alas, most were cobble-just enough to get them from the junk yard to the track. Bad as they were, I loved every minute that I was able to see them run and, to this day, a Track Roadster is the ultimate image of a race car to me. Maybe if they had been built to the standard of yours, they wouldn't have disappeared back in 1953.

 

thanks guys,
Dale....thats the funny thing with this.....
I know the originals werent beauty queens really, I keep having to tell myself to stop, leave that how it is, dont make those perfect looking welds and sand them smooth....etc.
Im really trying to make this look like it was pulled out of a barn wheres it's sat for 60 years.....

 

Good to see it's still in process. What's the deal with the shocks, can you post a picture of the mount? Is it a canteliver setup?

Are you going to make a Hallock style windshield frame?
