    Been doing a low budget revamping on my Roadster .When I purchased it i seen possibility of a cool ride with some changes . I cant build from scratch any longer 3 back surgery's and maybe another coming but I can still design and change the look with wheels tires , minor adjustments of height and placement of components ... Will sand and put it in Black seal coat this week . I took her for its first voyage this weekend and it handles like a go cart . I love it !

    It is looking good, glad you can at least still enjoy the hobby, even if you can't do a complete build..

    Good looking rig. Have some fun with the weather warming into Spring. All she needs is a little paint and summer is here.

    Oh man...your hot rod hits all the targets for me!
    That is one fine little machine and a coat of black will only improve it.

    Make sure to post pics...even a few more as it sits now would make me happy! :D

    Very nicely done. That grill shell wouldn't last 5 miles on the streets where I live.:D What's the clearance at ground level?

    Yup...really nice.
    The original builder had some nice ideas on how to get the "look" and some room inside...you have taken it beyond that so far and your final result will be even better again.
    Sorry to hear about your back problems. Hope you can enjoy the roadster for a long, long time!!!
