Go man go!

 

Yeah buddy!

 

Pedal to the metal.

 

Hello,

Your build has some character not normally seen on phaetons. It seems to be coming along well. Here is a story you might get a kick out of reading...

We used to watch a show called Riverdale. In the beginning, it was one of the best shows that portrayed old cars, hot rods and scenes from the old Archie Comic Books. The characters were spiced up a little as it was a show from modern writers. The characters from the original comic books were fairly accurate and it was fun to see the characters and how they melded into the current times through the eyes of a new generation.

But, the storyline was similar to the old characters from the comic book. Recently, they have taken a strange line and it is not your “father’s Archie Comic Book characters” any more. So, there is that. Be warned...

From an older post:

Today, here is the updated version of Archie's Phaeton... Archie and his dad built this Phaeton on an earlier season and now, the "Riverdale" adventures continue.

The whole series is a little different than the original comic, but very cool for hot rod folks.

His close friends are saying good by to Archie, as he leaves for his different adventure in the series.

What's a DUECE chassis? Ron

 

FYI, a DUECE chassis is a 1932 Ford chassis.

 

Really??? I have a deuce chassis under my A Body. Ron

 

Out with the old

 

What's a "Duece"?

 

My fat fingers spelling deuce

 

The a chassis is going to a good home

 

Cool!

 

All thats left to do is everything

 

What a fitting name for that car "Jughead"...
I am only 45 but a huge fan of the old Archie comics. I immediately knew were the name came from.

I am sorry the Riverdale high school kids have been recreated to be leftist radical teens.
Everyone should just turn off the TV not just the show but all of TV. Our parents didn't call it an idiot box for nothing.
All those garbage networks pushing the envelope and passing a political agenda off as entertainment crap will go away If we all quit watching it.
Support independent creators on YouTube. YouTube itself maybe a garbage company but there's so many good people putting out excellent content that TV is pretty much irrelevant now.
Sorry things like the Riverdale show Make me so angry I know time always marches on in a Forward direction and things will change over time something's culturally I will not agree with other things are being forced on our throats whether we want them to be or not.
It's cool seeing hot rods on television It keeps that relevant. Honestly it's cool to see young people build cars even if it's make believe because in real life it may influence somebody to build their own car that's probably the best thing to come out of the Riverdale series Even though It might opinion the show is absolute garbage.

 

LSRU???

 

Any updates???? Roundups less than 3 months!

 

Sadly,Jughead is most likely going to miss the roundup this year but on a positive note, ive got all the major parts to get this thing on the road this year, did someone say something about a little get together in bartlesville,ok? #gatrorbust

 

I'm a knucklehead and I'm registered to be at the LSRU.......
......but in the swapmeet area. My '50 Chevy Panel will probably be in the vendor parking.

 

Ill be at LSRU, and GATR, catch ya at the Roc for sure then! Keep up the good work!

 

It's a 1923 Ford, duh...

 

. . . a Model T model?

 

Got it. A duece is a 1923 Ford and a Deuce is a 1932 Ford. Ron

 

About to get after it again,summer will be here before you know it(btw, it 70 and sunny in south ms today)

 

I was planning on running a 32 grill shell

 

But i may have changed my mind

 

Just got back from a detour to the island of Oahu, and hopefully soon,we're be up on wheels, i started putting together a square frame fixture to get me over this hump

 

Cool!

looks like you found headlights in the kitchen! My mock up lights came from the same place your tires did lol

Looking good, I dig the A shell
