'32 Roadster in the Sun.....

..........well, as much sun as we've had in April. With me pitching in on the weekends, Nick Harrison (English Nick) lent his expertise in ch***is building and miscellaneous fabrication skills to help me get the roadster ready for this summer.
More buffing needed next weekend. I have a new found respect for body men, painters and wet sanders!
Bonneville or bust.........
331 SBC, T5, hairpins, P&J ladder bars, Super Bell. All the usual goodies plus all suspension parts electroless nickle plated.
The caps will be Ford '40 Deluxe. Clean and simple

 

I like it! Looks like a real hot rod.

 

You really take it seriously when someone says "Big n Littles" dont ya. Huge difference!

 

Very cool, can't wait to see it covered in salt. Gary

 

Hey Al, great looking roadster, did you not have one a few years ago that was black? Anyways I like the look...

Believe it or not, the front tires are off a Smart car. At least Smart cars are good for something.

 

Looking good keep up the good work

 

Where did you get that done?,...cost?

btw,...you might need a rollcage when you get to Bonneville!

 

Love that stance

 

John.........yep I had a black roadster a few years ago. Every man needs two hot rods and now I have a fair weather car (roadster) and a foul weather car ('36 coupe).
McKee.........I don't plan on racing it AT Bonneville. I plan on racing it TO Bonneville with a bunch of other Canadians. Care to join us? We leave Aug 6th.

 

It looks killer!

 

McKee........I had the plating done by a shop in Georgetown. It was way less expensive than chrome but has extreme rust corrosion and a bit of a shine to it. If I wanted to, I could spend hours buffing it to a shine but I like the muted look. If you are intersted, I'll have to look up the address.
