Hot Rods 32 roadster lakes tarp, tonneau cover,or whatever you call it..

here is todays project on the 32, went round to my upholsterers this morning, and tonight came home with this. it is mercedes cloth, with a zip down the middle, so you can drive with half the ****pit covered, the drivers half rolls up and is tied with shoestrings behind you. I decided to go with a tan cloth, black looked too serious, and white is way too hard to clean..
Its so i can park the car outside when on trips and feel a little safer about a rain shower ruining things.

Peter did a great job, he works with a certain determination, and just knows exactly what he is doing, its great to watch. I spent the day running errands,holding things for him and making the little trims that go around the hood pivot.Any melbourne guys needing T******* on a Rod ,PM me. hes a gun.

 

very nice

 

The streering wheel is on the wrong side - there I said it. Now that thats out of the way - it looks great! Have you ditched Olympus?

Looks excellent, been thinking about one of them for mine too.

 

Nice one Lowsquire , adds another touch of cl*** to your already perfect roadster ....

 

We should have a drinking game. Everytime somebody mentions the steering wheel being on the wrong side H.A.M.B.ers across the globe get a beer from the fridge and down it. That what I'm going to do right now.

P.S. Nice tonneau cover. I really like the rolled up/shoelaces idea. Has that neat honest 1940s poverty look about it - for lack of a better term.

 

You fancy pants you!
looks nice.

 

Im having a beer right now, my fridge opens from the wrong side.

 

Now that one I never heard before!!

 

Well, I don't like beer, so, I'll have a vodka mixed drink instead. So, I can play along.....

 

The HAMB lounge is open for business...

 

Looks great Ben. Definitely a good idea with our ever so predictable weather.

Time for goggles and no screen

 

It's the beer opening from the bottom thats the killer.

 

And the tarp looks great good Ben, planning something similar for the A.

 

From a friends experience, Put a stick in the middle if it rains. Unless you need a swimming pool. Nice cover!!!!!!

 

As you Seppos would say: *****in'

 

very sanitary, nice work

 

I like that so much on my next roadster build, I am going to make one of those for mine. Thats a super job!

 

DEFUSED! ,..... I hate it when that happens ! ,.... well I don't drink, so I will have a cup of Coffee with a left handed mug.

Oh yeah,.... And the Tonneau looks fantastic,... I lovez-it !

 

Perfect!!!!

Frank

 

No beer on that one then.

 

When it rains just go faster, great had one on my old MGB and it fit behind the seat, no neat roll to tie up BEER in hand

 

waaaaaay sick. i love it.

 

two shots of the car with my hipstamatic Iphone camera..

Notice the NUMBER PLATES. yep, full registration. kinda a big deal down here.

 

Thats one beaute of a roadster.

 

Nice work! It looks great!

 

Gotta be really happy now!! Well done Ben.

 

I like it !

...in Victoria.
