Made a little bit of progress tonight. Today I picked up an early Mustang radiator after reading about how nicely they fit the 28-29 shells. There...

Brian Lohnes has a TON of great videos regarding old motorsports stories and they are all well done. If you haven't, you should dig through them.
I just watched this video the other day and it was awesome. I grew up in the Central Valley watching Billy Vukovich III race Super Modifieds, so...
I'll have to look into that. Thanks!
I was under the impression that bonding metal to fiberglass was a no-no since they expand and contract at different rates leading to cracking...
Of course the first issue after I cancelled my subscription has cars that I'm interested in...
I'm on my phone right now, but that looks awesome! Definitely some good info. Thanks!
The grille shell is just sitting on the crossmember for now. I'm on the lookout for an early mustang radiator to start figuring out if I'm going...
Yep, the plan is to get all the big stuff out of the way right now and deal with all the body stuff later.
Cutting the doors is still a ways down the road so I have plenty of time to figure that out. I'm planning on doing a steel hoop under the cowl...
That's a good idea. Here's a post that I stumbled across that did something along the same lines....
The other day I stumbled across this (https://www.tbucketplans.com/how-to-put-a-door-in-a-t-bucket/) that seems to be a pretty good guide. I was...
A while back I decided I would use the 327 since it's basically free, and budget is the underlying theme here. I just picked up a Camaro V8 the...
Wow, that is a giant wall of text. Sorry. I should probably add some pictures to entertain y'all. Well, last week, I finally brought the finished...
Alright, its probably time for a build thread. But first, I’m going to ramble off some backstory first. So, around 5 years ago when while I was...
Man, that thing is cool!
I like them with a small chop, but when they're chopped too much, they look cartoons to me. I'm leaning toward using the 28-29 shell I have and...
[ATTACH] While looking through the Street Rodder digital archives, I stumbled across this. Looks like they mounted the radiator in front of the...
Man, I don't know why but I was confusing Turner's with the place over on Golden State. My bad.
I haven't driven by there lately, but is there anything good left? I remember them "downsizing" a while back and had completely forgotten about them.
Man, that seems like a pretty good deal for a kinda out of the box build...
I can't compare to the days of yore that some of y'all a talking about, but I've been to 4 swap meets in the last year since I started collecting...
Here's some more from the Hot Rod digital archives...[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
And a few more. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Bringing this thread back from the dead...[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
The more I look, it seems if I want to channel it and use a cheap off the shelf radiator, a deuce shell is going to be the easiest...
I love track nose roadsters, and I had originally wanted to build one but somewhere along the way I decided I wanted to see frame horns...
Thanks for the reply guys. I've looked into the Speedway chopped shells, but I picked up a 28-29 shell pretty cheap and was hoping to use that....
I like this. I didn't think about moving it behind the crossmember, but then again, the electric fan never crossed my mind either. Very interesting.
