Projects 1930 Oliver Roadster Build

Idk, I wasnt worried about keeping it clean, body will be engine block color, interior white. I think what Im after is a slightly used look on this one. Something that could be 60 yrs old. Not really patina but not show rod either

 

Pretty incredible day! https://youtube.com/shorts/kp9wiAiQi94?si=j0Ydkpg4ue-x_6J6
Not sure if thatll post but the roadsters running!

 

Now we're gettin' somewhere!

 

Another shop day underway. Brakes plumbed in, torque arm finished up, hopefully a handful of other odds and ends by the end of the day!

 

End of the day. After chasing down 10 leaks and a lot of bleeding both of the brakes and my fingers...the car has a pedal! Going to leave the body off for a day or 2 and clean up a few other things then it goes back on and the fuel tank gets hooked up! Then wiring... next friday I pick up the front tires. The list between me and driving this thing is getting shorter and shorter!

 

You’ve come a long way baby !

 

Its really neat seeing something so born in my head materialize into reality

 

Neat for us too!

 

While the body is off, I decided to tackle some of the basic bodywork that needs done sooner rather than later
I fixed the bottom of the drivers side all the way back and then I fixed the wheel well. Neither is going to get blocked and worked all too much before some primer goes on but I wanted to rough things out better
The progress looks good so far

 

Well...it looks like its all one car....on one side haha

Seat riser goes in tomorrow, then body gets set back on. Will attack the other side another time. Right now I need my shop back (this thing takes up a ton of room blown apart)

 

Home stretch....need to finish up the tank mounts, slosh the tank and install, design and make a shifter, front floors, parking brake and wire the car!

Of course after that comes bodywork, paint, finish the rad shell and make a custom insert...

 

Lookin good Oliver!

Thanks Dave!

 

Cranked out a lil column drop out of brass, just need to tig up the corners
Also finally started getting the new used rubber on the front! Lovin the look!

 

Yeah You got "The Look"

 

You have to be feeling good!
