pic request for 30/31 ford roadsters please

Is the 3M Stripcaulk available at Home Despair and similar places?

My 32 needs a touch of something in the corners as well.

....You could also check your local bodyshop/paint supply store.

 

Binga,
Is one of those yours? I dig your mates car. I'd like to know more about it.

 

Here's my favorite 30/31 roadster and it's at my favorite place too.
It's currently totally torn down for some repair after getting hit last March. It'll also give me a chance to make sure I got all of the salt out.

 

Neither car is mine.

Mates car was built entirely by him including the 32 ch***is.
The car is all steel, except for the lift off roof, made up from cast off panels and swap meet finds.
Its powered by a 37 flatty, single rail 4 speed and 8 inch diff.
The roof was made from the roof of a 34 fibergl*** 3 window coupe that was cut off to make a cabrolet and is attached where the windsceen stanchions attach and the original screen is kept behind the seat for fine weather driving.

Binga

 

We Got plans of building a gl*** 29 similar to the purple one in bingas post this coming year

it will be my wifes first rod
gonna be flat black with pink steelies and wide whites
full fendered
nailhead buick with two dueces and lots of finned goodies
white tuck and roll with pink piping
and lots of white and pink pinstripping

 

Any more pics of ya old ride? Love to see more shots.
Beautiful car man.

 

Hatch, I didn’t know you’d sold your roadster. I loved that car. First prewar car I’d ridden in, albeit only for a few dozen feet. Oddly, my favorite detail was always the finned caliper covers. I thought they made the disc brakes look nice and old timey.

I’m late, as often happens, chiming in here. But not so late I feel like I’m wasting my input. Here’s the cream of my 1930s Model A roadsters photos:

One from Billetproof Detroit; channeled and with the radiator dropped down between the Deuce framehorns:



One towing a teardrop trailer:



Either a stocker or a resto rod wearing ’35 wires:



Early highboy on a stock frame:



One from the Detroit Autorama with the inverse of the popular paint scheme (glossy red with black steelies):



A pure stocker, but could be a good one for the ‘banger crowd. I love the look of a folded top – folded windshields too:



One with kind of an upright, “dude” look that I got for comparison with the “perfect” car below:



My favorite, the “perfect” Model A roadster, IMO:



One from the Pasadena Roadster Club Reliability Run:



And finally, what’s not really a roadster but probably a cut down truck or sedan. A genuine Mac Woods dune scooter:

Hey Dave...yup the roadster is gone.....a Hamber owns it....He doesn't post much. I hear he had it at Kalamazoo last fall. I'm thrashin on an A coupe right now and hope to be driving VERY soon....later...hatch

 

Here's the Sonny Mazza roadster at the Road Agents Rockabilly Rumble

 

Here's a couple of my favorites from the HAMB

 

Paul already posted his car but since it's snowing out, let's look at it again.



This is Jared's way cool roadster



and a V8-60 powered one




and I'll throw a coupe into the mix only 'cause it's *****in'

 

where did you come up with the piece that bolts where the factory stanchions were and goes across the cowl? ive seen a similar setup on a few other cars but im confused as to if this was an aftermarket item or did everyone just fabricate them all similarly?

 

Here's mine, been on the road 6 months, 17 months to build.

 

That is a dashrail from a 30-31 firetruck or mailtruck. I had a tough time finding one. Here's a more recent pic that shows a little more of it. Its a bolt on fit once the stantions are gone, but I'm going to modify it to fit the doors a little better one of these days.

 

heres mine

 

Mockup of 31 roadster...

 

Pretty sure I got these pics off the HAMB earlier this year....good looking roadster.....

 

My Coupster...



Thinkin' she needs scallops or something...

 

this is one of my favorites

 

A few more of mine.
Mainly to show how painting the white fenders to match makes them look not-so-huge.




A three quarter view.


The car sits lower than it appears . . . that due to the car is up on jackstands and the suspension is hanging down.

I have a pair of 29 fenders I may install.
They're 1" narrower than the 31's and the tire fit/appearance is a little better with the 29's.

This pic has the bobbed 29 fender on it.



This pic shows how the body fits on the non-pinched frame at the firewall area.



Contrary to appearances, I'm getting a lot of the small stuff done.
It's a lot easier to do it now and I've found that things you put off during the build are tough to get done later.

 

My current project...

 

thanks a bunch for the info, your roadster is one of the nicest ive seen. really killer setup with those wheels, windshield and color.

 

Hmmm...

 

My 30 roadster. Will be hanging all the sheet metal back on before spring along with the 30 radiator shell, original A headlight and drop bar.

 

Couple pics of my POS. I wish it was a nicer car, but at least I can work on it. Hoping to be driving it again by the end of this month.

 

Mine's in the avatar. Needs a do-over but I don't have the time.

 

Here a few picts of mine.. Plan to plum the gas lines today... See "My one eyed roadster" build for more pictures...

 

heres another
