    It has a 21 stud in it, but I have a 49A at the machine shop right now. I have an 2x2 Edelbrock slinghsot and Canadian heads for it.

    So Chris has been busy and here are some progress pics on the fender skirts. He got a really great curve on the skirt that flows oh so good.

    Nice to see traditional skirts rather than flush mount.
     
  7. So much good work! That is looking real sharp! I would have liked to do a similar thing with the grille when I built mine, but after trying to get my hands on a decent LaSalle grille (in one piece) I gave up and just got busy with steel rod. Keen to see this finished!

  8. I read the whole post and watched all the videos.........man the '36 is Killer Diller.

    I know the responses are slower here. More pix for those of us that have social media allergies.

    I didn't want to follow the trend of cutting the fender to make flush mounted skirts. I was really just wanting the car to be as traditional as I could. Thanks for noticing it

    Beautiful roadster, that's definitely on my bucket list of future cars to buy. You did an excellent job on your roadster.
    Weird thing about mine, is someone made it, who knows when, it's one piece cast. It's rough, just needs some good filing and polishing.

  15. I didn't even know that was a thing...had to look it up. It's good to live under a rock sometimes.......now I can't unsee the flush mounts, 60s and some 50s maybe, but prewar no thanks.

    Found this when looking at pics.
