    Those cream colored wheels look much beter, the red/maroon ones were to stark with the primer. Looking great!

    I wish my roadster was sitting as close to done as yours. I am looking forward to getting those stanchions from your brother and mocking my windshield up. Congrats...
     
  4. Thanks guys, I'm happy with the results of raising the rear up and inch or so, and also I agree the white wheels look better against the primer.
     
  5. Looks real good Chris. Is the whole front suspension chrome?
     
  6. That looks sooooo good.

    Man, that thing looks better every time. Great car, and I re-iterate, you have excellent taste.
     
  8. Wow! That looks really nice!! I'm enjoying following along with your build.
     
  9. Yeah, everything but the spring and spindles. I pieced it togther over a couple years.
     
  10. Like polishing a diamond!
    You should post side by side
    before and after pics.

    It looks so good now.

    Hahah! Im really liking this roadster .
     


  16. I'm working on it...I gotta mount the headlights and tail lights, wire em, mount the package tray and seat, and re-bleed the brakes after having the rear end out and it should be ready for some shake down drives.

    The roadster is looking sweet! Its gonna look perfect out on the salt!
     
  18. Tonight I started on the headlight mounts. I had a couple ideas in my head on how I was gonna do them, and in the end figured this was the best way to go. Cut up a couple junky headlight bars, heat and bent em as needed and went to town. I elongated the mounting holes in the stock headlight bar mounts to work with the 2 upper fender brace holes in the frame.

    Beautiful work. Keep it up. can't wait to see her done.
     
  20. First side is easy, now all you have to do is make the other side match!!! :D Looks good.


     


  21. Yeah, easier said then done!!
     
  22. Got the other side made. Took a while to get them exactly where they need to be and as close as each other as possible. I welded em up and ground on them for a bit. Needless to say I am happy with how they turned out. Needs a little more clean up and smoothing but you get the idea

    Looks great Chris!

    I like the idea of driving it as is.

    You need to get it finished before you run out Roadster weather in Spokane.

    Topless until the end of September in your area?
