[MEDIA] Roadster has been treating me really well. I host a car meet here in Austin and I was asked to join The Kontinentals Car Club meet prior...
Thank you so much.
Can’t recommend it enough. Very easily achieved. We will see how well it lasts. The front I painted when I got the car running and it’s held up...
Yeah blue would be a really cool option. I went with green cause I painted my motor in the same color so it tied it in and I had the green left over.
Biggest take away here is that I think I had maybe 20 bucks in this project for paint cause I had most of these items needed laying around. Also...
As you can see in the photo the stain will create a bit of a streaky brushed on look, which some folks might want and you can just stop here if...
Not rocket science here at all. Most folks like to use real rust in with their Patina jobs with vinegar and so on. I didn't want to do this...

Seem to have worked out the belt rubbing issue. The ears on the Canadian/Ford intake didn’t take well to the powergen strap mount so getting the...
Been really enjoying the roadster. Trying to work out all the shake down kinks. My brakes need to be adjusted tighter again, which is nothing,...
My headlights went out leaving the car meet because I am running one 6v BLC and 6v Guide lights with a bulbs in them. Couple of people actually...
Heck yeah. Thanks for reading my ramblings.
Thank you. So much fun building it. Amazing what I learned.
