Calori roadster update! getting some freah air

pushed her out blew all the dust off live next to a field.i wiped it down took some pics before she goes to get the pipes next week and took some pics of the truck that will tow her to the dry lakes. been working on that to. drove it for the first last week time since i bought it in july its going copper suede base coat with a cream top and inside and pearl tuck in roll with copper inserts. i put the 55 pontiac caps and denman g78s on it. she has 300hp 327 corvette with 202 heads and duntov cam headman headers and old edelbrock street master manifold, cal concepts valve covers and hei. enjoy . billy

 

some of the truck

 

Do your eyes close when you're grinning ear to ear like mine do. Think about maybe some light gauge wire to keep them open. I just use toothpicks but now after all these years I'm starting to bleed. Great pair of rides!!!

 

nice rides....itmust be nice living in paradise...all i can see from my window is frozen solid. another month before my roadster comes out of hiding

 

I would have loved to seen some pics covered in dust! Your a lucky man , bitchin ride.

 

A definate favourite of mine. Can't wait to see it with those pipes.

 

I assume the pipes will be upswept alongside the car like they were originally?

 

this will be like the original in every detail that i can do and what jack has told me and i have pictures of this car he has giving me. it's hard to do bcause of all of the unique features it has. its a mile long list of neat stuff you realy have to know this car to know some of the features example the pipe's the most dominent one. molded grille box with licence plate/ club plauqe glass cover, rear frenched licence plate with glass cover ,loop welded on axle and steering arm to put a lock on. 20's cadilliac gas tank with pressuer filler and hand pump that's just some .this car drives me nuts sometime's but it will be worth it. when i get to drive it. jack gets the first ride. here's some pics jack has given to me. check out the pick hes in his navy uniform and the car has cable brakes and no pipes yet and that carb stack early evans like the one i have now. billy

I really like it, looks great.

 

You are one lucky guy. Those two rides are amazing! Can't wait to see the Calori car back in form, definitly one of the most bitchen cars made. And the truck looks stunning too.

Please keep us informed with progress, I know everyone likes a cool car.

 

I've said it several times before. You're car are my favorite HAMB project.

I have one single wish.
