A/bigV8 progress pics

Heres what we've gotten done on my 29. We got the rear of the body braced and set up. Also got the merc dash tacked in and the instruments some what fitted. Also what do you guys think of the model a grill shell, narrowed just a hair. Shes comin along nicely, i cant wait to get the 430 in it!!

Looks great man. I hope mine looks that awesome some day.

 

Looking very nice !!!

 

car and dash look good. I have always liked narrowed grill shells .

 

Nice, but did you turn the lights on in the garage when you snapped the pics??

 

Jason things in southern kansas are a little bit different then in fancy Toepeaka. I had to stop pedaling the bike that runs the generator long enough to snap the pics.

Oh comeone, I was just ribbing you "southerer'.....

 

Yeah i know, thanks guys for the kind words

 

Thanks i think it will look wicked with that big lincoln sticking out from the sides of the grill shell

 

Nice looking work so far.......What are you radiator plans?

 

Well have to go custom radiator. We called Portell's radiator and gave him the diminsions of the grill shell, and the cooling capacity of the lincoln 430 and he said that he could build one for us that would cool it. But, we also played with running a fake up front and a rear mounted rad.

Looking great!!! 430 will be *****in in that!!

 

bttt

gonna be one bad *** roadster........ hopefully we can finish up alll the body bracing ,start fitting floors, still gotta do the firewall, even with 112 " wheel base the Lincoln will sit about 2" past the firewall, inside. Then pedals are going to be interesting , we're running a top loader 4 speed so it gonna be just a litlle cramped. Looking at stock model A pedals floor mounted with hydraulic clutch. should be fun!

 

Appears well engineered. Great work, it makes me want to get going.
