FYI the pic of my truck is the mustang green?

 

Ha! im preety positive ive checked out your uncles drop top at least a few times this summer at little cruise ins and what not. its red right?

small world!

 

Hey Nick, hope your work load lightens up soon. Will be looking forward to some updates.

 

Nick, hows this project doing any updates??

 

I'm finally back on it. Feels great to be getting some work done again!

I took an unintentional six-month hiatus on this project. Work, Life, etc. just kind of kicked my *** and I was in a funk. Had no drive or desire to work on the Roadster and there were a couple things that I had done on it, that I was not happy with.
I've fixed a couple of those things and am in the process of fitting patch panels right now.

Photos:

Picked up a '28/'29 hood. I need to add about 4" length to it for it to work. Should look cool, though.




Old ****ty patch panel










New patch panels fitted in place




still need to cut out axle clearance on this side




I had my buddy, Andy Leach (cal1954 on here), fab up these braces to replace the 3/4" square tubing I had used in the trunk area




Test-fit, a little t******* to do




Welded in place

 

Nice Nick! Glad to see you back at it my friend.

 

Welcome back, Nick.

 

Looking great mang..

 

Sounds similar to how I feel.. I haven't done too much to mine but I'm moving along steadily. I'm also going to use hood sides as well, no top. You're moving along great. Keep at it, man.

Looks like some good progress man that's awesome!! Love the braces and the hood.

 

Glad to see you are back at work on the roadster. I like the braces for the trunk.

 

Good work...makes me miss having a project to work on.

 

Good to see ya back at it, Nick! Love the bracing in the trunk area! Looking good man!

 

It's about time we got an update.. Looks great!

 

Hey Nick,with all those hours of work on the job,you should have a little spare cash and make it to the Roundup this year and get you blood really flowing again...Looking good so far..

 

Nice to see you back at it Nick. Sometimes a break is a good thing. I really like the new braces. The hood will be cool as well. Going to be a really nice looking roadster when you are done. Keep up the good work!

 

Lookin' good Nick!

 

I was wondering where you went to? Good to see the progress and can't wait to see it up close.

 

Looks good.........I have some spare rusty hoods if you want one.......or if your in the area, I can p*** one on to ya'.

Very nice work!

 

Nick, that hood will be the bomb, love it. Andy did a beautiful job on those cool braces. That baby is lookin real fine bro. ~sololobo~

 

Awesome. Good to see you back at it, I love the look of your roadster.

 

Love the look of the braces in the back.
I'll be following this one through.
Nice work.

 

Thanks alot, guys! It really is great to be working on this thing again...


Got a little more done last night -- carefully welding in the patch panels.
I had hoped to not have ANY distortion, but the lower front part of the quarter panel patch shrunk a little. Nothing a little hammer/dolly work won't fix.

 

Good stuff! Can't wait to start on mine. Just need the body.

 

Looking Great! Keep up the good work!
