Projects 29 whippet build

Very cool
My mother always told the story that her families first car back in the 30's was a Whippet

 

Looking good !!!!

 

been making some more progress. working on sub floor, floor pans, trans tunnel, underdash M/C and brake lines

 

as it sits today,

 

been working some, but not posting much. went with the ididit steering column, middle seat from a mini van with speedway seat mounts, made a column mount from a piston rod, and made a gauge cluster housing.

 

Its been awhile for posting and adding pics, but still working on "Cleatus"
here are some updated pics.



Replacing all the woodwork is a long process.


dash is pretty much finished



Changed out the gearshift knob.



still needs a top

 

Great work!!!

 

Nice! It's very cool that it's not the norm and looks awesome!

 

Thanks, I dont care to go the route other do or what is considered to be the "norm". I like what I like and hope others do to. I hate to copy

 

Like how you did this with a 4-door.Bravo!

 

Have started the roof, making the panels from 18ga. just making it up as I go

 

Like your build and style especially your ch***is. Several years ago I did a customer 29 Whippet 2 dr ch***is with Heidts IFS and IRS on bags and ECO Tech 4 cylinder. He drives the wheels off the car and doesn't have to worry about seeing another like his.

 

getting the roof built from 18ga sheet metal.

 

have the roof pretty much ready for the next step.

 

installed the seat back in with belts

 

took my first drive and found a neighborhood car show, won 2nd place in a peoples choice and $100.00!
not bad for a quick drive by

 

got the half top on this weekend.

 

Finished the rear suspension, I used Ride Tech air springs and shocks.
is really a good ride for how light the car is..
