    Sweet ride. Sometimes less is more! Looks like it's too much fun to be legal.

    Your roadster is motivation to set a goal for getting my pickup on the street before snow falls. Well done!

    Holy Shit that thing looks so good Chris. I can't wait to ride in it on the speedway. Definitely would be down for that trade (my roadster for yours) if you want!!! Hahah!!! Didn't think so.

    Now that's traditional.... mech brakes and all. A lot more fun than waiting for years to get it done before enjoying the ride.

    Juice brakes and seatbelts would be a must for me, though.

    The windshield rake looks great! I love it.
     


  13. The mufflers went on the coupe, this will remain open!
    Thanks!
     

  14. Brakes work alright, they stop the car nice and strait, but panic stopping is not really an option. You just have to keep your distance, as with any older car. I do plan on swapping 1932 Ford brakes on down the road, along with a set of "Ted's Kits" for the brakes. They really make em work good!!
     
  15. Yeah, I wasn't too concerned with "patina" on this as I was with the coupe. So this thing has some new bolts, fresh primer and new wood floors :D
    I will be n it at Billetproof end of the month
     

  16. I do have a set of WWII aviation belts that'll go in it soon.

    Very nice. Whne you get the bodywork and paint done it will be a supreme example of an early hotrod. I love it.

    Here is mine after a few rattle cans of semi gloss. 39 trans and early 32 rear end.
    Wheels are original 1948 paint from a telephone comany pickup in Montana.
