I think you made great choices on the back of your roadster.HFH.

 

Awesome build, following. I'm happy for you that you listened to your Dad and got the car back. Great story.

 

Great detail build. Look forward to detail on top build. Love the car

 

Awesome story. Agree with Tim about reading details about it and thinking that I wouldnt like it, but the pictures are amazing. Really bitchin little T roadster. Also love the halibrand smoothies on there....Looking forward to seeing the progress at this years LARS.

Thanks for sharing,
Gordy

 

Thanks, not sure how to take that statement, so I will take it as a compliment. When I talk cars with people and share my ideas people's eyes usually glass over and I lose them along the way.....lol. Like I have said before, "This car is not the status quo." Thanks again, please introduce yourself at LARS. The car will be in primer, so I will be in the swap area with it.

 

Adding some more progress photos, you can see how sharp the car will turn with the new set up. I set the camber with Dad's old fixture and rosebud and personalized the axle. Made some coolant piping to adapt to the flathead radiator and finished up the exhaust, 2.5" out the back and optional header block off plates. There will be no nylock fasteners on the car, I chose castle nuts and cotter pins. I am almost ready to blow it apart to finish the chassis and prep for paint. I added a picture of the Deuce pickup that I originally was going to build before I found this roadster. I built it for my dad and he is now enjoying it and finishing all the little stuff like paint and wiring.

 

Can you show us the procedure of making the front axle?

 

I like your roadster build, but would love to see any pics of the Deuce pickup that you might like to share!

 

Thanks, I hot rodded this one too.

 

I constantly run into that mentality on my own stuff. I can visualize exactly how a car will look when done but not the best at explaining it. Even when I explain well many people can't visualize as well as I can

 

Man I’m a sucker for chassis shots! Are you using the polished bellhousing? I don’t see it in all of the shots?

Loving this thing

 

Thanks, I sure do like the looks of that pickup!

 

Fantastic
