Australian 30 Roadster build

Hi my name is Chris Wells. I'm 26 years old from Australia.I own a shop called Bus Motor Home & Vehicle Engineering on the sunshine coast QLD. We pretty much build anything that comes in the door from buses to cars. I've been on the H.A.M.B for a few years now and current building my first hot rod its a 1930 ford roadster its finally up to a rolling stage. I've been using my mates body to build it off and about to go to the states to get a body and motor on the 20th of august.
It will have a tri powered 350 small block with a 4 speed muncie box
Heres a few photos of the build so far.

 

A few more shots

Very nice work , those welds look awesome ....Have fun in the states, any room in your bags....Rod

 

Very impressive, will follow this one.
Are those gussets riveted, and does TAC approve. They are awesome.

 

Thanks they are 8mm button headed bolts welded from behind and the Allen key filled and smoothed then I tigged them to the frame so when its painted it just looks like its riveted.

 

Thanks and yeah me and a mate are getting a container there will be some room left what are you after ?

 

awesome job...keep it up

 

Yeah what this guy said!

 

Hi Chris.

The brake pedal pushrod looks like it has a bend in it , if it has it will need to be changed to a straight rod as a bent one could bend even more and lose your brakes if you hit the brakes hard.

 

Hi oz-bucket
There will be a bit of 6mm bolted where the pedals side on and then back to the x frame it's all sorted just haven't finished it .thanks for your in put though.

 

Update!!
