    Well I figured today was a perfect day to get started on my 29 roadster. I bought it a few months ago from dieselbronco and stashed it away. So today i pulled the body and fenders off to get a better look at the frame. Im pretty surprised at how good most of it is. Other than the center and front cross members, I'm pretty happy with it. The brakes still seem to function after sitting for god knows how many years in a barn, or from the looks of things, at the bottom of a swamp. Plans are to get the body back together, which is lest than perfect, and then build up the banger i have. Just looking to go with something simple and nice that i could use to run around town in. Ill be sure to update when i get things rolling.

    Well, my winter break is coming up so Ill be able to get back on the roadster. Picked up another frame thats near perfect, just needed a replacement center cross member because it was missing. And once I get a little more cash, Ill get the banger my buddy has that was in a running car that got swapped out for a B motor.

    Ill update the thread in a few weeks once I get moving.
