1930 Roadster Build

Check out the roadster I get to help a Homie build

 

sweet. love it

 

Nice so far. I like the old timey look on the sbc, also like the ride height, bones, frame, grille, etc

 

pretty cool looking ride , keep up the good work

 

Looks good.. Nice job on the firewall.....

 

I can't wait until my 30 is that far along.

 

Hell yeah. That thing is gonna be sweet.

 

Are those 16's? What size tires are those?

 

16s with 5.5 in front & 7.0 in back Firestones. Today we just put a S10 rearend in to tighten in up, & those S10 rearends are A PERFECT FIT!!!!!

 

awesome!! more pics please??

first mockup

 

*****in little roadster...just what I want for my next build! Gotta finish the 51 truck first then find more garage space!

 

looks good,what windshield are you useing?

 

Very nice! I'm hoping to get my 23 "done" by summer.

 

I like it...a lot! A pure hot rod.

 

Sellars Equiped "Hollack"??? windshield. Not my cup-of-tea, but it has grown on me, I am starting to like it. We are going drive it to Legg Lake on June 4

 

That's sweet ride! Keep it up

 

I`m starting to like those windscreens too

 

here a pic of the roadster body when it was first picked up

 

We brought it back from the darkside. Some tried to make a MG, Jag, Morgan, or . . . . . some kind of Euro sportscar out of it.

 

I just cut the back off a cherry 32 frame & it hurt. I personnally wanted to incorporate the 32 gas tank into the car. But this "bob job" looks alright.

 

got my favorite tool, my hacksaw, to make a lower aternator mount/bracket and . . . its like going together in two minutes.

I thought I'd would share a quick and cheep way to make a lower mount alt. bracket

(2)parts - garage "J" bracket/arm & a 70's/80's upper alt. bracket

oh yeah this is for a SBC & probably a BBC & maybe others???

so far rough rough mockup. (2) cuts, first, the garage "J" bracket/arm, the second for steering clearance on the lower lower alt. bracket. I still gots to weld a tab for upper of the two bolt holes on the block for the "J" bracket & I think I'm going to add a 2 inch +- long piece of that "J" bracket to the motor mount to the intake manifold connection of the 70's/80's upper alt. bracket.

The hard part . . . . . this ****'N TYPING. Hope the Pix clear it up.

piece HOMIES

 

Check out what we've been tearing up the streets of L.A. with!!!!

Cool little roadster!

Ive been driving this to work this week. Today I realized that we started on this project about a year & a half ago.

Built the ch***is & been driving it for about for about 10 months now. I even drove it to viva since. Drive your Rod already, y'all!!!!!
