Jimmy B.......your right it was a Duesenberg engine in that roadster, sorry for the wrong info........cw.

 

So cool!

 

Damn, that's amazing. It looks like a time capsule from the mid-1930s!

 

Mine is a rust and Bondo sculpture with an improperly butchered A frame (not by me). Original body looks like glass now (crap!) Hey, it was my first try and I do like the proportions...!

 

Mark. Please find two Mitchell's.
CRH- I love that car.

 

didn't see any pix of mine,
this is what it looked like last fall

 

Slowly making progress on this one... trying to resemble a 1947 CRA Track Roadster

not the greatest picture....

 

Very cool. SBF? What transmission?

 

Vern Tardel Enterprises posted this bad little number on Facebook yesterday:

 

cool to see a T axle....looks like it has been modified.

 

I can't wait to see that come together!!!

Damn it's got a S.Co.T too? I'm in love!!

 

My last project!

 

It appears to have an invisible front spring!

 

Supercharged 60hp!

 

Zach, is that a TT frame that you're using?

 

Damn Zach, your roadster looks great! How did you form the "bun" panels?

 

This thread is full of so many awesome cars and builds.

Here's the one I'm putting together...

 

I love '23-'25 turtledeck roadsters. Good thing that Henry built zillions of them; at one time they were dime-a-dozen enough that guys used them for throwaway track roadsters. Luckily a few still survive, and guys with a taste for tradition make cool street roadsters out of them.

 

Stacy and her bitchin T in Austin Nevada Thursday at Jerry Foreman's BBQ. I did not call her the "B" word. She is a great gal that "gets it"

Gary was there too taking a lot of flack for wimpin out and driving his 46 sedan.

Guess I was the biggest wimp of all. I rode up in my brotherinlaws new car.

 

Thanks for nice comments! Tranny is a C4 automatic...

 

Umm....uhhh..... Fine, I admit it! My car is a piece.
When I got this body and frame, it appeared that a previous owner had trashed the frame and body with scary welds and poor planning. With no money and no hot rod experience I decided to try and salvage this heap, setting up the wishbones, steering, motor, lines and most importantly, proportions. But I didn't quite account for the gaping hole between body and frame when you crouch down to knee level... Oops!

 

Some great looking cars, I love this thread!.

Mine is still a work in progress. '32 chassis, I dropped the front axle three and a half inches, I dropped the rear of the chassis by four inches by re-shaping the original metal to get a lower stance with a sort of stock look...



Here in the UK T bodies are not too common and after looking around and finding only rust I decided to make my own.

One side of the turtle deck...



The firewall and subframe for the cowl...





and here is the cowl skin...







Still got a long way to go...
