When I was a kid, we'd go for Sunday drives and picnics often with my Grandparents. They had an old metal water cooler with ice water in it....
On our first date, I took her for an antique airplane ride. 24 years later and multiple cross country flights in open cockpits, the roadster is...
Replaced the radiator with one about 1 1/2" shorter, which let me drop the radiator shell down enough to get the hood line where I'm happy with...
Great project, subscribed.
Got the shorter radiator installed. 1 1/2" shorter. The bottom of the grill shell just kisses the frame rails. I'm happy with it now, glad I...
Stainless steel ladles are the way to go. They come in a variety of sizes, the handles are hooked so you can hang them and they're easy to clean.
I've used Jerry before, great work. http://www.nostalgicreflections.com/
I made mine. Used a piece of scrap streamlined tubing for the front. In the rear I used the stock spreader bar, but modified it to fit my bobbed...
Here's my entry... [MEDIA]
Pictures don't do this car justice. You've got to see it in person, it just has a presence that's hard to describe. Really really nice!
Nice offer.. Here's my '31 roadster on '32 rails. I'd love to have a set of those subrails. I'm just now ready to tackle that rear floor area,...
Thanks, I kinda figured it was something like that. Thanks.....
Looks great. How'd you roll the top section of hood? The louvers would be in the way of using a slip roller. I've got to make my hood soon so...
Here are some progress shots of the top iron modifications. I'm not sure what each of them is supposed to be called, so I'm just going to call...
I'm in the middle of trying to modify the top irons for my roadster project. The irons are 30/31 standard and they're a hollow tubing design that...
I'm not pretending to be the expert on this, but here's how I made my decision. 1. They're just a little taller than the 30/31 deluxe...
Really liking your build. You said you're getting a shorter rad - but it looks like it fits the grille shroud... Thnks, the shorter...
I'll definitely document progress on the irons. Not sure at this point whether I'll modify the originals, or just make some new ones. I'm...
I ended up using a '30/'31 deluxe windshield frame with stock '32 upper stanchions. That combination allowed me to lay the windshield back at the...
I'm waiting for my shorter radiator to arrive, so in the mean time I thought I'd tackle the windshield. I've got a stock '31 frame that I knew...
Mine's a t shirt design based on this....
So I finally popped for '32 car grill for my AV8 project. I was just about ready to go for a repro when I was offered the chance to buy this...
Hi Billy, Rick's radiator in Azusa (626) 967-7518 is a good guy. I need to shorten mine also, but in my case it's not worth it since it's a...
We've got to have some lows to appreciate the highs.
Boy were we ever good looking!,
Spent a little more time on this thing. I had the shell as low as it would go with the radiator installed, so I removed the radiator to get the...
Not sure if this is common practice or not, but in my parts washer, the reservoir is about half filled with water. The solvent floats on top so...
Really nice. Clean, simple, nothing more than what it needs.
So whata you think? I got the lower edge of my mock-up hood lined up with the body line which helps a bunch.
Bad ass!!!
