Projects Family heirloom

I picked up this roadster last year that my uncle had owned since the 60s-70s slowly bringing it back to life.

 

Pretty cool! Should be a fun ride!

 

Hmmm, great score! Right in Roadster Pickup territory, too... Ontario!

Congrats. Worthwhile project. LOVE the 4-jugger...Staggered...Real hot rod stuff.

My former pardner had a famous '24 T 'Nosejob' (hand formed aluminum nose, the old Chet Carter car)
He scored a Man-A-Fre (4 2bbls, staggered) from a Gasser pilot they called 'Kamikaze Fred'!
Manifold went on pardner Gary's '28 Phonebooth pickup.

 

All my uncles are gone.......none of them had anything like that I guess at some time I need to be someones uncle/grandpa/or???

 

That's going to be a great ride.

 

Thanks guys. I’ll post more photos as the build comes along.

 

Great little roadster project.
I like the short stacks.
Who makes those, please?

I also like that your brake drums are inside the wheels where they belong. Don't need to have the brake drums sticking completely outside of the wheels and causing a bad scrub radius, just to show off the finned Buick drums. I can see yours just fine. And they look great.
Congratulations. Have fun.

 

I like the fenders.

 

Rickybop,
Thanks man. The stacks I got from an old hot rodder friend of mine. He let me go through a bunch of his stuff. I believe they are cal custom.I’m running full fenders so you really won’t be able to see a whole lot of the drum. I had them sitting here so I might as well use them.
