Hot Rods The Rancho Deluxe 32 Roadster.

Hi All,

Thought Id do***ent the last stages of my 32 roadster buildup here, has been my main focus most of this year, and some of last, and is nearing completion.
For pics of the ch***is ,check here..http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=403642

So the body is painted and polished, and the other night my club came over and helped drop the body on, and drank all my beer, which i purposely kept in short supply, Dont want drunk *****s dropping a brookville roadster with a million dollar black paint job!

Here is how it currently sits. Super happy with the paint, it looks a mile deep in real life..







bit of body alignment to do, instrument panel in tomorrow, then plan out the wiring looms and start building it.
Its having all cloth covered wiring, and once the loom is built it will be cotton braided in black with a yellow& green tracer, to tie in with the green motor and yellow plug wires..as you can tell this car has got out of hand, and im planning on it being as nice as the Walker Morrison roadster in detail, Little bit earlier in stance and build period.

The interior will be a very dark green leather in a fourties style simple wide pleat, with map pockets in the doors, and square weave German carpet, bound in Canvas.

Im itching to get my windscreen on it, not back yet, chopped 3" and nickel plated, as is the rest of the plating.





Ill update this as I go over the next month or so..up to firing it and driving..Cant Wait!!

 

Awesome work!

 

Oh, and Flatoz, I have your Edmunds air cleaners captive .
Send an envelope of unmarked bills and no one gets hurt....

 

Beautiful

 

Super clean Ben, very nice.

I will have to come down and check it out.

 

Now that's a hot rod!

 

Awesome

 

Cool car!

Looking good hope that piano paint is uv resistant though.

 

Need to keep it waxed for protection from the elements, but thats ok..actually the quicker it weathers the better in my book. Id even like a little crows footing now! might have to wait ten years..

 

cool looking car...... can't wait to see it finished

im glad to see you've put the steering column on the correct side

Looking great Ben. Can't wait to see the finished product.

 

That is perfect! Way to go!

 

Thats a clean shop!

The ch***is was great - the finished Roadster is going to be superb.

 

Looks great, can't wait to see it up close.

 

Nice.

 

or in a mirror...what

 

Nice one Ben, you must be pretty damn excited.

That voucher wasn't car specific was it...?

 

depends on how attached you are to that 29....

 

How was the fitting from the Brookville Body to the ASC rails?

Mine sits on an original ch***is, fitting was so and so ok...

I test fitted it to an ASC railed frame and no holes fit ...even the firewall needs tweaking.
