Projects Deuce hi boy project

Fitted the front shocks, fitted the headlights and made a new spreader bar

 

Thanks Chuck, yep there is a guy here that was making those trunk lids

 

Last week there was an estate sale here and I scored a mint firewall, louvered 4pce hood, cowl vent and other parts.
I have been working away on the car as much as possible.

Mounted the column and also got a set of SW gauges for my birthday.

To make it easier to mount the column and not cut into the firewall I ended up remounting the engine further forward than I had it.

 

awww man...
you've been doing such an outstanding job on this, and then ya go and mount the steering wheel on the wrong side!!! bummer dude!

georgeous car BTW!

 

nice build keep it up

 

So no cuts in the firewall at all?Can you still run a mechanical fan?

 

great lookin' build you got going....I was originally inspired by Lobecks roadsters, my old man and I are friends of his, the Kyle roadster, and the Gary Kessler roadster.... I built (and rebuilt) my car here in College back in 1997 and have since logged 45,000 miles on it...the styling has come and gone some, but I've made suttle changes here and there (halibrands and Ets, heavier chopped windshield) to maintain the original look I wanted....good luck on yours--32csr

love the Kyle roadster but Kessler was good for the day. Sits too high and gotta have Betty Davis eyes.

 

thats coming on nicely.

 

Trust me I would want the steering on the left hand side

Thanks

No mech fan

I LIKE your car ALOT! Would love to see more pics of it

Yes I agree there

Thanks

 

lookin good...

 

You got the negatives backwards again, shows the steering and pedals on the wrong side. Outstanding job.

 

Been working on the rear end:

Wow did you ever get a deal on the Q/C!!!!

Looks fantastic

 

Very Nice Work!!! The Kyle car is the inspiration for my '32 as well... Just love that car!

 

I really like those new bells. You are correct in your visual ideas. Will keep that trick in the back of my mind for future use. NICE WORK!!!

 

Progress has been flat out and full on.......

I got all the body work completed and then have had the car painted and the chassis reassembled with the 1957 283 engine and then today we refitted the body for the final time.......

 

Looking AWESOME!!!!

 

That is soooooo sweet!

 

greg,
looking like a hotrod.
Al.

 

Very nice.

 

Looks good, I guess you will have to run cycle fenders on them rear meats ???

 

Nope, no fenders required here (on 1934 or earlier Hot Rods).

 

Thanx for the thread,got some good ideas for my project. You're doing a great job!!

 

Thanks guys
Almost ready to fire up

 

Any thoughts on where someone could get a set of those larger size bells?

Geoffrey

 

I had the ends machined up for them but someone did say that larger early Ford commercial diff housings could work

 

We started it up the other night on open pipes at about midnight

Its a 57 283 relatively stock engine......
