Sure glad I found this thread tonight, way cool and worth being way past my bedtime now!
Said I was going to bed early tonight, then I found this and knew that **** was out the window!
Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Good read... Bad*** car and cool as hell that Buddy got to thrash it on the beach!

 

Your roadster is awesome

 

So Bad ***!!

 

Haha, he thinks the roadster is Pete's

Not mine.

 

here is a bunch of the history that I have collected from Buddy Hinman, over the past year!

 

THANKS! Great to see original speed equipment literature, having the car it went on is off the charts special. Merry Christmas! Bob

 

here is the original photo that Buddy's on, Mike, had restored for me!

this is Buddy crossing the finish line, in his old roadster!

 

Great shots! Not many Vintage race cars get to have the original builder/driver wheel them. I'm sure some asked before but what was his reasoning for swapping the frame rails side for side? Bob

 

. Just seeing this car run down the beach was pure awesomeness!

 

IIRC it was to drop the driver/seats between the rails and get back the room lost when channeling.

I actually thinks driver sits deeper in then a stock body.

 

Just a heads up, have you considered POR?
I'm not a dissing you or the car, I really like the car,
but (and this is a big ****) ones you loose it, you can't get it back!

I know it's an survivor, but don't let a survivor get any worth.

I'm so happy to see it on the sand, and it makes all the pics go a little misty to know the original owner/build drove it again.

Good work and nice updates.

 

I wouldn't worry about that car getting any more rust. It is great hands with Eli

 

This so needs a bump...

 

I saw Bud at Rhinebeck this weekend, I had him sign my copy of MagNeto

 

Rod1 thanks for bumping this thread ...This car is by far one of the coolest hotrods I've seen on here. I mean that in the ingenuity and originality of the build not to mention the history.

I would love to find a car someday with such a unique history.
Eli, Amazing job on saving it and everything that followed including the win and gaining Buddy as a friend.

Thanks for sharing

Any updates on the Hinman roadster? Are you doing the inside show circuit now? Thanks again for doing such an awesome job.

 

how can the 'ackerman ' logic be discounted on this terrific ride?

 

You got that right, Mike!

Mr. Green,
I don't know as it's been "discounted"; apparently it didn't need to be addressed as the car ran like a scalded cat on the beach, AND on the NH back roads( I witnessed it personally in both situations last year- how lucky am I?)

 

Whatever happened to Eli ? His profile says he hasn't been on here in a year.
