Do they have any sort of markings? The angled mounting bracket certainly stands out. I wonder why they are laid out like that only to have the arm bent back inward.

I have a modest pile of lever shocks but none with that setup.

 

Went over in the Green Machine to see Ron today- he's getting that roadster right spiffed up for the ROG.
Also saw the coupe sitting in the driveway- lotta pieces, but it sits pissah! (If you squint and fill in the blanks, it's going to be a KOOL little car.)

 

I got the rear shocks mounted up today after work. Had some channel that worked out pissah

 

Most of the mechanical stuff has been taken care of so I thought maybe I could make the roadster look a little more presentable

 

Round two on the driver's quarter

 

wax on, wax off. She'll be ready for Pebble Beach in no time!

 

Got the quarter and trunk in primer tonight

 

Was able to locate a pair of dog bones for the front shocks. Eli English had 'em.

 

Wow, you work fast! Looking good.

 

I mounted the front shocks today. I was paying attention when onekoolkat made his on the Skoog special. These friction shocks are big and goofy so I tried to hide them behind the wheels

 

I also got the deck lid and one quarter in paint

 

Looks great Ron !

ditto !

 

Looking good... Clock is ticking down Ron. 9 days and counting... My e-mail is down but if you need a hand or parts Mike B. has my phone or get me through Sloppy. You're doing the Bondo but I'm the one getting itchy. See ya on the beach...

 

Camsnappers alum, and part time artist, Mike Ingham lettered up the decklid

 

Patched the rotted passenger door I used a cowl side panel Mr. Bowling supplied. Thanx Mike

 

Using 80 year old metal to patch an 80 year old car? That's a nice! " Adam 401" will love it.

patches AND bondo... you will have the show car guys leaving the beach...

 

I've got a set of those shocks with angled bases on the front of my roadster. A guy told me he thought they were '42 rears? I don't know but I shortened the levers and they worked great.

 

Two days ago I tried to fire up the roadster. . . . Dead battery! My nemesis! I feel I can build, fabricate,****emble these old cars but I cannot wire them. My brother and nephew came to the rescue. We had it wired up as 6 volts before, now everything is 12 volts. New ignition switch, voltage regulator, etc. Now it all is key on power including electric fuel pump. All my gauges work too!

 

Thanks to Scott and Timmy for spending a couple of hours making my car safe.
Next up was passenger side bodywork. Not perfect but it will look good on the beach! first gas stop

 

I was trying to figure when you added the vintage style rollbar.
Then I took a better look!

 

yup !

 

You got a dyslexic guy mounting your whitewalls? ^^^ lol
All kidding aside ( temporarily), she looks great, Ronnie.

 

I wanted to get bigger (7.50) blackwall tires for the back but it just isn't in the cards yet. My rears are whitewalls inside and out so they will be staying for a little while.
