Hot Rods The Official Track-Lakes Roadster Picture Thread...

...just getting around to finishing off the body, should be ready to put on the chassis by the new year for a trial fit, need to finish off the steeling out and the firewall and a bit of alloy polishing and the chassis and the floor pan and the and the and the.... Time just need the time...

 

Nice workmanship XM! Keep us updated on your progress.

Not a track/lakes roadster but I was influenced......

Heres my old car, inspired by a few of the oldies.

 

BobbedT,
I like your T. Is that a Chevy inline? What frame ya usin'? What wheelbase? Thanks!

 

Great thread!

Here's mine at porkys this last summer.

 

Cool thread. I've got a glass '27, and have wanted to do a track car for some time.

 

Great looking car!

 

Here's another Stillwater, MN T. It's kinda,sorta like a lakes-track roadster. FYI, those aren't the normal tires & wheels. I was doing some swaping around that day.

 

I built mine from an old Speedway body.....My taste has sure changed in the last 17 years.....If I built it today, I'd have to change the wheels and tires, the paint, add a belly pan, change the windshield etc........it would be quite a different car today.......I quite liked it back then, but couldn't get over the fact it wasn't steel.......





But it went like stink !.....a street go-cart......

 

How about some photos of some track roadsters on the track.

Here's ours getting dirty at the Dust Up on the weekend.

...got a bit more done this week and started making the radiator shroud or surround in aluminum also made the floor and fitted the body up to the chassis and made up all the bungs to fit the body to the chassis and put the new front crossmember in and started to work out the heights for the rear rails. Also started making up the tank in alli. Should be able to make up the firewall and steel out the body in the next few days or is that nights. Here are few photos and will post some more next week...

 

We landed a new nose for the roadster. This is the only one we found that would clear the Monster valve cover.

Thanks 19-c. Hamb Brother.

Classic!

Kevin, I saw that nose posted yesterday and thought it had a good look to it. Be sure to post pictures here once you get it mock up on the car.
