Hot Rods "What I did over winter vacation" (Roadster Chassis Rebuild)

Well, it took a month but it drove out of the shop today!!
Im SO happy with the way it rides! I still have some little things to do like an exhaust system and gauges...
Thanks to "51box" for all his help, even when I could do it myself
"a coupe" for a heated shop and everybody else that had a hand in this with parts, time, beer, or even motivation!

 

Congrats Bill, looks killer (still/again)Thursday July 5th at the Lighthouse ??? 20 Rebecca Rd. Stop by for a beer.

 

Definitely! Hopefully I will have the exhaust on it by then! All those people with little dogs get nervous!!

 

I know it doesnt look like much but the body dropped close to 3" in the back and the ride was improved 10 fold! Heres a little before (on the top) and after (on the bottom)

 

Big improvement for sure !!! I'll be in the same boat. After spending countless hours and thousands of dollars, the coupe will look basically the same. Same wheels, color etc. I guess the people that matter will know.

 

Looks great Bill! Can't wait to see it and the big smile on your face after a comfy ride. I gotta straighten out the rear end my coupe one of these days!!

 

Mark the calender Bro....I know there's a spot opening up in shop soon !!! November 1st ???

 

Great work and it's a better car for it, but I liked the stance better before!

 

If I were running 7.50s in the back it would have looked a lot better before. But, I dont like 7.50s at all! There was just too much of a gap above the tire to the fender line.
Now it looks all nice and tucked in without too much truck tire rubber.

 

Way to go man, it really looks great!

 

Bill That looks ***ume!!!

 

COOL roadster! Gotta feel good to be driving again knowing it is a better built car. Seriously, I bet you wouldn't have shinned yourself as often if your floor wasn't black n' white checkers (depth perception 'n all)....ewwww, seasick much?

 

how the hell did i miss all this going on great job guy's

 

Thanks again everyone!

JEEM, I dont think its the floor that has affected my depth perception

John, Ive been a hermit all winter and spring. Only those with crystal balls and ouija boards knew what I was up to! Ill be seeing you soon!

 

Nice car Slick. Great workmanship. Drive the wheels off fom her and enjoy the summer.

 

All she's missing now is a Chevy between the rails

 

Man, you are some kinda sicko, Joe.

 

If I'd known it was going to complete a matched set, I woulda charged you for it... How bout a trade for some free moustache wax?

 

I thought you said your latest HAMB post was "constructive"?

 

If this thing works Ill hook you up with an ***ortment pack!!

 

Hey Bill, I'm diggin' that sweet directional unit. Know anything about it or where it came from ???

 

That was made by the world renowned directional maker "Pat Pending"!

I believe it is a Pioneer unit. The hammertone was the actual finish, they made them in chrome too...they were universal aftermarket 50s pieces

 

Billiam

 

farging Iphones....

 

No, they add a Snidely Whiplash moustache and a silly hat!

 

This is very racist...kettle and pot black...phone, white...hummm. What does this mean ??? Didn't Snidely wear a stove pipe hat ??

 

^^Great, another gold chainer flagging my posts!!

Yes, Snidely gets ALL the ladies!!
