Thank you, it has been way too much fun learning about pre and post-war cars and trying to keep this to that time period.
I'm going to try to keep this clicking along to get it up to present day. Since I blew out a rear tire, the next logical thing was obviously to...
This is where we get really dumb all for the sake of fun. The ECTA holds a land speed race in Blytheville, AR at an old airstrip. My friends and I...
Thank you, that is the plan. It's a lot more fun and motivating to continue when you can drive the car in some capacity while working on it.
Since it all looked like it was back together, that seemed like the perfect time to take it apart. There is a local AC coil shop that also cleans...
I am not a welder by trade but after enough youtube videos, I can make stuff appear to stick together. The original cross channels didn't fit up...
After getting the subrails back from being media blasted, there was no question that replacing them was the next most logical step. I think they...
Thank you, I definitely will. Funny enough, seeing your thread is part of what motivated me to start sharing mine on here.
Thank you, I should have spent more time looking around his site. He has really put together some great information from what I've seen so far.
Where did you find the quality control dates? That's some cool detail, I'll definitely send that in to him.
I guess there's something about roadsters that make strangers feel welcome. I was getting gas in Gulfport, MS when a guy walked up asking if I...
Thank you, I intend on enjoying every bit of it. As much of an eyesore as it would be to me seeing a 32 with a 28-29 shell, I truly hope he did...
I got the model b on a stand for the slow rebuild of that. It will get wrapped up and slowly done on the side, but the main focus will still be...
That is really looking good with that flathead in there, I'm loving the progress of this
Those look killer, definitely will.
The next adventure this car led me on was to an auction to pick up an assortment of early ford parts. I was lucky enough to score a basically...
It's a 30/31 radiator so it's too tall for the car. It is on the list of items to address because it bothers me to look at, but it was good and...
It was humbling to park my heap around cars of this caliber, but it was such an incredible experience to share a room with people that have...
Thanks to some colorful zip ties, the gas tank from an unknown piece of lawn equipment and $5 airplane seats, I could successfully say I had a...
I think that I'm a patient person until the potential of driving my new to me roadster is within arms reach and patience and reason goes right out...
I started to go through the engine to see if I could just do a quick cleaning, re-gasket and re-assemble. After pulling the rods and finding the...
No worries, I already have the title back and in my name. Thankfully in Tennessee it's a pretty easy process.
This car is killer, great job with the progress on this.
Thank you, I think it would be cool to have more of the floor left but this is all that remained. It has now become a wall hanger in the shop, but...
For sure, mine was on top of the driver side frame rail, immediately after the two front bolt holes to mount the body. In the previous picture,...
I did also get some wood blocks to mount the body and start figuring out where that should be before it all gets blown apart. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Thanks to everyone for the warm welcomes. I did some digging and while I can't definitively confirm on the frame, I'm assuming it's very likely...
Thanks, I'm eager to see how your AV8 build comes along.
I definitely will. From what I've seen so far, those are a great wealthy of knowledge.
I'll get some pictures and double check everything. From memory, I believe they all matched and I believe they were early 29 so I wouldn't be...
