    haven't updated this for a while, slowly getting on, just came back from a trip to So Cal & brought 3 suitcases full of early ford parts back with me so it's time for the big push to finish it!

    Like what I see. Don't know if I like the roadster or BSA best though. Both are right on.

    It's cheap, easy to run (especially around London) and I can still make it fly with some speed equipment, I can put a v8 I quite easily at a later date too!

    finally got the old girl down to my new workshop last week so been cracking on stuff after neglecting it for a while.

    first time i've seen it out on level ground, pleased with that stance!

    i'm headed for a classy 40s street roadster with a hint of custom on this. so with the hallock, 36 dash, frenched plate & 3 piece smooth hood i should be well on way with that look!

    scared myself a little with this but all worked out okay, now to make a plate box housing the glass and lights ala Clarks 36.

    Looking good, how much did you drop the '32 grille? I was figuring approx 4 1/2" or so on mine.

    Nice build. I've been sitting on an old '27 roadster and a model A frame for several years with a similar build in mind. Nice to see yours coming together!

    i'll give it a measure tomorrow, i was gonna measure it all out but to be honest, i put the radiator stay rods on and went from where it looked good. i think the grill is abit lower than the cowl so i've got abit of a flow into the screen.

    Looks fantastic.
     
  28. Now that's a sweet ride!
    Especially like that 36 dash in the T body. I'm partial to 36s and have had mine for 30 years..
    Will you have a top for the rainy weather over there???

    And what is a "council lock up" you mentioned in the first post? With no electricity?

    The lock up was a garage that rented off the local council but they are only a one car space with no electricity what so ever.

    I measured my grill shell and I cut 5 1/2" out of the sides.

    Got a few hours spare to make a start on the hood pretty pleased with it considering I done it by hand just bending it around the cowl and grill shell! It needs Abit more work but pretty good!
