Projects Barn find 50s built 28 Roadster

A year ago I got the model A bug bad and started buying everything I could. A month and a half ago I went to look at this roadster to see if I could use the body for a running ch***is I had to make a banger. It turned out to be heavily modified albeit not done very well. It was bought by the guy I got it from's father and has been sitting exactly like I got it since about 1960. All dis***embled but almost all the parts in a pile next to it out in the woods in northern Wisconsin. The motor was missing but based on the mounts and other clues I found out it was built with an Olds v8. In the last few weeks ive bought 3 324's and some go fast parts. Its got a suicide front, z'd rear, shortened and channeled (too much) tub, 36 (i think) ford trans, 47-53 chevy truck steering that doesnt fit right, juice brakes and unknown grille. The car is a poorly built basket case but im putting it back together using the parts from the pile as much as possible. It has skinny 16s on the front and 15s on the rear. I need on front still. Only one was in the pile.

 

Very Kool

 

Pretty decent pattern there.

 

Cool project,
It helps if you select 'full size' on the picture's that's why others show bigger.
& It wouldn't hurt to do an intro on the main page, cheers mate, looking forward to seeing your progress & hear your plans

 

Thanks, I'll do that. I saw that full/thubnail option was sure about it, next time, thanks.

 

Cool, it just makes it easier to look at.

 

Got a ways to go but definately plenty of cool goin on

 

I dig it!
