Well oh no not another 29 roadster! the story Some may remember my 30-31 coupster. I bought that car before i really knew anything about this stuff. Then I was told about the HAMB. Well thats where it happened. I saw Alex's roadster (metalshapes) and fell in love with Jeff's (Nimrods) roadster. So what i really wanted was a 28-29. Well I sold that body about 5 months ago to look for a 28-29. I called Brookville and looked all over the damn internet. I was kind of getting bummed for letting mine go. Then while walking through the goodguys swapmeet I did something i usually never do. I stopped to read one of those little signs with all the cars forsale. On one it said 29 roadster kit. I figured it was a glass car and walked away. It kept bugging me so finally i went back. Here is what I found out: Orginal Henry body, Orginal 32 frame with a 6 inch kick up, mor drop axle, 40 ford drum brakes, orginal chopped 32 grill. Man I could not believe it. He said it was started in the 50's and never finished. I finally picked it up today. For all you HAMB regulars you can tell by the wheels what its gonna look like when it done.
Congrats Man! That looks look as great place to start. I can't wait to follow your progress. It looks great!
Yeah a lot better start then the last one. This one rolled on the trailer, the other one stacked in the bed of the truck.
Darn Transmission wont be done for another week. Thats gonna set me back a bit. Plans are to run a sbc and a T5.
Very nice looking car you got there. I am building one at the moment too. 29 roadsters are just plain bad ass.
