Projects Indy Racer Style Roadster 1st Time out

I like your build very much. The two man car is a good idea, I built mine as a single seater and now can only have fun by myself.

Well, I'll be damned.

 

Wow, amazing workmanship! Look forward to seeing how this turns out.

 

That raises the bar a few notches and boy howdy do we need some updates.

 

It has been a while since the last Update. Just because i did not do anything to it.
I moved house and shop 10 years ago and this project had to get on hold.
Finally some weeks ago i had some time and motivation to start working on the roadster again.
I changed the steering box i was never happy with to a Ross Box from a '29 Studebaker President.
Redid the upper cowl and built the tailpiece.

Tail is still missing the very bottom part.
Then i built the outer left side of the bellypan.



Dont know how fast the progress will be as my regular work is very busy at the moment.

 

Some more pics....

 

Amazing!

 

Nice work. Glad you got back

 

As the others have said....Beautiful workmanship. Do you intend to "wire edge" the ****pit? The side profile is suggesting Bugatti type 35 to me!

 

oh most definitely subscribed.

 

Very nice work! I like your re-use of the Chrysler "Floating Power" front engine mount.

 

Yes, i always wireedge with a 4 mill aluminium wire. The sheetthickness is 2 mm.

 

It is out of another Dodge truck that had a Dodge engine whereas this Chrysler engine is out of a Canadian Dodge truck.
