    Ok I’ve had this project for a while now and I haven’t posted a thread about it. I bought this car in pieces out of Minnesota about 3 years ago. I didn’t have a ch***is for it but over the years I’ve gathered most of it. My plans for it is to build it very early 50’s style. I’m running either a 37 flathead or a 42 Mercury flathead with a 37 Lasalle/w 1950 Olds tail shaft. The rearend will be a 1940 Ford truck banjo with 3:54 gears. I’m going to post how I first received it and the progress that has happened in the meantime. I also would like to thank Rusty32 for doing a bang up job ***embling this jigsaw puzzle. Lots of learning on this one.

    Didn’t have a original roadster dash so one had to be made. Lucky a friend of mine loaned me a original to go off of.

    Can’t believe how much lead they used in some of these sections
