Hot Rods Been building away on the 32 Fordor

So I have been plugging away on the ol fordor what seems like a snails pace... Its really coming together...just not fast enough. Its looking like a no go to the Salt Flats Always next year right...
Will post some pics of the progress in the next few days.

 

So had a productive weekend. The fordor has brakes! They need to be bleed again.

I have about 2/3 of the wiring done. Engine turns over via an ignition switch! Just need to wire in the mag and hook up the fuel block an it should fire up.

I did splurge on 2 new carbs because the plan was to drive all the way to B-ville...and I flat out ran outta time to rebuild my old ones...

Engine is pretty much plumbed.[/IMG]
I'm hopping it will move under its own power in the next few days

 

C'mon, break it in driving to B-ville!!!

 

It is sooo tempting

 

Looking so Good Son!!!....Maybe next year I could kruz with you guys to the Salt!

 

I think he got it fired off today......only a rumor could be a story too

Sorry if I am asking a dumb question, but is that the permanant place for the gas tank? Hanging out the back like that? What happens if you get rear ended? God forbid I mean.
I'm not very familiar with these.

Looks great though!!

 

Thanks! That is the stock location for the gas tank...if it gets rear ended...It might go BOOM!! God forbid

 

Damn right you are... No excuses either. I might beable to bring the roadster up to the new garage and get things rolling alittle quicker!

 

I did fire it on Tuesday... Its ALIVE!! Still need to ****on up a few things and then maybe a test drive this weekend. Will post a few pics soon.

 

Way to go ! I'M watching

 

How is that roadster of yours coming? You should swing by and check out the completed clutch linkage. I'm 99.9% positive that it is going to work great.

 

more pics dammit....

...uh, please...

 

Here are your pics 3wLarry.
I took the ol fordor for its maiden voyage this weekend and was pleasantly surprised that everything worked as it should. The only thing I was nervous about was the clutch...and it worked great. I have a few bugs that I still need to work out with my rear brake drums, and a few return springs need to be installed on the carbs and clutch pedal, over all very pleased.

Congratulations on the first ride,,the car looks great. HRP

 

Oh Yeah thats the stuff!

 

Thanks! It felt great to finally make it move on it own!

 

Car looks really good. I want a chopped fordor. All I have are coupes,pickups and roadsters for drivers.

 

Will we have to lift the body off again? I hope not. I want a ride someday.

 

Thats looking good! Great idea with the coke cooler!

 

That is so Cool Son....Can't wait for a test drive.....Soon We will be up in a few weeks......Pedro will love it ..............Ol Deuce

 

How about side shots with the doors wide open? Great little car.

 

AWESOME man! Sure is lookin tough!

 

I love it!!! What are your plans for the top insert? What is on there now?

 

Thanks Chris!

 

I'm thinking I'm going to make a steel insert that will be upholstered. Right now there is an old roadster top that was flattened out and stapled down to keep the sun and rain off the front seat area. It will work for now.

 

Can't wait till you get your *** up here to drive it

 

Thanks Sledge!

 

Must be rough Love your five window.

 

Man there are just soooooo many things I love on your car. Cool battery box to.....
