    Here it is the start of "The Whiner". It's a 31 Ford roadster that me and some friends are building. It is going to be a early 50's style, simple and clean. It has a 32 frame and grill, 36 rear end, more drop axle, lincoln brakes, kelsey hayes wire 16"wheels, 51 303 Olds motor W/Edmunds 2x2's and Vertex mag, Iskenderian cam hydo lifters. This is the start of the car hope you like it. There will be more updates to come. Thanks

    As the owner of a 29 roadster w/ a 303, let me say I love it. Looks awsome!

    Where are you at in Texas?

    I'm liking that a lot! Working on one myself as well! Only I wish the body on mine was that clean. Keep up the progress and drive that bad boy out to The Invasion in September!!

    Here's mine.

    Brookville.... couldn't find a real one that was in good enough shape. To much money for not enough car. It seemed like every roadster I found needed so much work done. Just to make it half way nice it would coast twice the price.

    Love it - getting ready to start on mine! Do you have any pics of what you did with the rear frame and how the body sets on it?

    I hear you, I bought mine two years ago for $6,000 just as you see it here, complete car. Since then I've seen a lot less trying to sell for a whole lot more.
