Hot Rods Out comes the roadster, 1925 Chev update

Cheers Mark, I have plans for a few later today, I have the frame work and hinges to do tonight.

Thank you

 

and I did the top cover for the dash

 

Jimmy, have you got instraments? What are you going to use?

 

Your doing this old Chevy proud.

 

Hey mate, I will be running Stewart Warner gauges, I still need a SW temp gauge and a '32 Chev speedo.

Iam tossing up whether to use this oil pressure gauge


or this one






update on the boot.


boot hinges are made from cut U-bolts, hole-saw donut and s**** 1/4" flat steel.

 

Continual ****ty weather has hampered progress but getting there.

 

primed

 

Your going great guns on your Chev as well! This is the middle of your winter Its no wounder you have rain up the wazoo!

I will talk to you later
Ol Deuce

 

That is looking great! Keep rockin' rocker...

 

looks great keep at it ,,,love the belly pan

 

really like the car, but that lower front end detracts from it.

 

I seem to remember an original lakes modified with a front fairing just like that, and this car is made in that spirit.

 

Knew I had it somewhere. I love this era.

 

One more reference. I picked up this photo on E-Bay awhile back.

 

Thanks, we have had higher than average rain this winter.

Thank you

Bellypan is my fav part of the build.

Many lakes compe***ors ran similar flaring

Yep, from the Bob Giovanine collection that I posted in others threads. BTW that car is being unveiled for the first time since the restoration this Sunday at the Ventura Motorsports Gathering.

Thanks Rozzi. Is that a '31 or '32, I can't really make it out.

 

I would not change a thing. I smile every time I look at this build.

 

Getting closer.


Left quarter still needs more work.

 

looks great and nice ride, love the H.A.M.B. hood ornament

 

Lookin' good Jimmy! She's really startin' to take shape now.
Are you still on target for a Speed On Tweed debut, albeit unfinished?
