Projects My New Roadster showed up today!!

Well Marcy brought my new Roadster to the house today. It had a long journey from Spokane WA! I bought it from hotrod-40 here on the Hamb. The weather couldn't have been worse, 113 for the High today, and thats not the heat index, that was the actual temp!! Marcy's A/C went out in Kansas somewhere so she was having fun as well.
The car is great, full fender 31 Roadster with a stock banger and drop axle, Juice brakes and its been lowered as well. The Bed was installed during WW2. Been a while since I had one with a stock drive train and I couldn't remember how to start one So I called Corey and he gave me the combo. Fired right up and I drove it a couple of miles. Neat little car!

 

That one looks familiar...was it in the desert states a couple years back? The bedsides and the cut lines look the same.

 

Isn't that CHRIS' brother's car, or am I all wet? Love it! DD

 

looks cool!

 

It was in Kansas a year or so back.

 

Yep, that's who had it! I can't say if you are wet though!

 

Ok, that's it. Then it went to the desert I am pretty sure. I thought it was a pretty cool survivor, that's why I remember it.

 

That is nice! Bring it out to NoSurf's Hamb bque next April. Do not change anything on that car.

 

Bitchin! Are you leaving the bedsides?

 

I have everything to put it back to a real Roadster, But its growing on me as is

 

Yeah that's a tuff call. It's unusual. AND cool at the same time.

 

Don't know if I would want to drive it that far with the Banger! Was up there 3 years ago and it was a Long drive. I will be bringing it to the HAMB drags though!

 

It's a tough call whether to leave it as is, redo the bed with new wood and hardware or put it back to a roadster...I wouldn't know which way to vote...it's a bitchin car/truck though ...

 

Wow---I used to have one JUST LIKE that !! LMAO

 

Really!!

 

Yeah, they all say that. Except wasn't yours a 4 door, yellow, with a rotary engine and had Nash emblems on the hood .... I use to have one like that, BLAH BLAH BLAH

Hey, povertyflats did own that car at one time! I remember it. That cool RPU does get around.

 

Nope! Drove my 28 coupe up there then!

And yes povertyflats did own it before.

 

that is a neat car, you got a good one

 

Wow!!! looks so freakin' cool!!!

 

very cool. reals of the grape of wrath.

 

Very cool man... that car has gotten around! Look forward to checking it out at the Drags.

Thats awesome! Never seen one converted like that. The fact that its a survivor makes it even cooler. Great score!

 

you going to have fun with that car! hated to see it leave the emperors club. Looks like it got a good home

 

Your '40 and your roadster look good together!

 

yep..that car has been around as much as..well...my vintage girlfriend...but I love them both....as is........

 

Thanks Guys! I have some big plans for it but don't worry, it will still retain its current look and will stay traditional. I am collecting parts and working out the details now. Look for progress threads to follow! Going to get the 40 back on the road before I tear into it though.

 

That car has gone "full circle"........I thought that PF owned it once.

Oh yea, I still like the bed on it.

 

Utilitarian for sure but I would like the lines better without the bed. Just my 2c worth.

 

cool

 

I love this car, leave the bed in there, it's made it this far..
