Projects '29 Model A Roadster Chassis Build...lots of pics.

Hey Bass! Could a sixty year old geezer come and sweep the floor just so I could learn from you? I want to go out in the garage and kick my '29!!!

 

nice build

 

Wow very, very nice workmanship. I need a drool cup.

 

I need more clients willing to PAY for work like that. They all WANT work like that, but don't like to pay for it....

 

This has got to be one of the best build threads on here. The craftsmanship is just awesome!! You are a man of extreme talent!!

 

Looks awesome Brian. Makes me want to build a skinny tire car!!

 

Looking real good Brian, Keep it coming.

 

looking great that's the key to good fab work thinking 4 steps ahead and it looks like you think 8 ahead

 

That's pretty damn funny, I don't car who you are.

Bass - thanks for all the detailed photos, it has been fun watching it come together.

 

Bass,
Nice welding/fab skills! Looks amazing! What are you guys using for a Tig? Miller?

 

Thanks Jimmy! I don't know if I can ever be considered in the same realm as the great Art Chrisman, but that's really nice of you to say that! I also can't wait to hear the stroker 265 cackle.

Thanks dude...I think the sound is just as important as the look. I'm shooting for the Lonestar Roundup. I'm pretty sure there's just not enough time for me to get it ready for the GNRS.

Thanks John...I keep thinking about what we were talking about interior-wise, and I'm really excited about it!

Nick, it's getting paint. A nice medium blue.

Keith, your work is a great inspiration for me, and I'm really glad you like the roadster!

Yep, I think the early small blocks are going to get more and more popular. And I definitely couldn't have put together such a nice motor without Eric's expert machinework and advice.

Well, I'm right there with you on that one. If this wasn't a "shop" project where hours weren't really an issue, it would be hard to convince a customer to OK all of the labor hours that are already in this car.

I use an older water-cooled Miller/Airco Dialarc 250. It's probably almost as old as I am, but it still works like a champ!

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys....I'm pretty stoked on how the car is turning out!

-Brian

 

I miss your beard....

Thats going to one of if not the best roadsters in 2009.

 

Looks killer Mr Bass. Are you aloud to expand on what you used to smooth out the block, I really like that and those welds are what wet dreams are made of.

 

Looking fantastic dude! Top notch as always.

 

Very nice welds... I hope I can get that good...
Kudos...

 

Brian-Thank You for the props that was gnarly. You know I have machined a lot of trick engines but this 265 has been one of my favorites and it was worth all the extra work. A ''Carter'' crank is the only way to go haha.

 

Very cool EC, you are a hero to us small journal fans.

 

Great job. I had to dry my keyboard off because of the drool!

 

BASS - "Thanks for all the positive comments guys...It's nice to know that some of you out there appreciate the work that I do!"


We don't appreciate the work we're damn jealous of it!! I'm with Root, I should turn in my hammers as well.

 

Very Nice Build

 

Wow I said out loud! My wife said, what are you looking at? I showed her, she didn't get it. We all know what it means. Wow!

 

i dont know if you guy's know this,but this is a cool car.

 

Lookin' good Brian!

 

Up-date, up-date, up-date......

 

It just keeps getting better and better..... Thanks for keeping us updated.

 

I don't know how I missed this thread before, but now I feel insignificant. Awesome welds, awesome stance, and just amazing attention to detail. Now that my custom is almost done this thread has given me a ton of inspiration for my next build...a Hot Rod!

Great job Brian!

 

any updates to report?

 

Awesome work and fabrication. I really like all of the little details and the brackets you made. Great lookin car.
