Projects Tucks 29 Roadster Build ---->

I’m on it hope ya all are in the garage.
-1” section from cowl plus the 1.5” lip from before, I f’n LOVE it.

fixed the stanchion risers too

Magneto Dimple for the firewall
more to come

 

Moved the dimple up because the body sits at a slight angle and it’ll help clear the cap. the new firewall is 1/2” plywood that’ll be laminated with 1/4” aluminum plate which I’ll be able to block sand and polish and it won’t be so fragile.

 

looks awesome!

gonna weld the dimple in?

 

I have a plan I’m hoping works out…I’m going to cut the hole out and the router the opening with a radius and mount the dimple to the back side so I can keep the aluminum flat and polish it like a mirror.

 

Yes!!

 

a couple updates-
I got the cowl lip welded back in and it's permanent! I love the bobbed cowl so much-

I sectioned the top lip that rises about 3/4 to an inch above the cowl to where it's almost flat and the chopped windshield frame sits right on top of the cowl, looks so much cleaner.

 

Great work on your cowl mods Tuck! Better to see you're back on your roadster too!

 

Thanks Mike, excited to get this cowl and firewall finished up.

I started to trim up my 40 dash too.

 

That cowl looks so good! Love your work!
