Projects My Spurgin/Giovanine inspired 1925 Chev roadster build thread

Great project, Jimmy -- it looks just like the original. I really like your detailed photos. I saw the car in Ventura, California, last year. Keep up the great work!

Awwwww...........I LOVE it!

 

looking good! i dont get the LHD tho?

 

Thanks Uncle Pancakes. Never thought I would read ruler and my name in the same sentence.

Thanks, I was waiting for an Aussie to say that.

Thanks Kent, I am really looking forward to seeing the original at Pebble Beach in August.

Cheers dodgord. It is LHD because of the exhaust and I wanted to have LHD.

 

Jimmy B ; What a great job . The recreation of these lost cars are
very important for the feature of our sport and the hot rod! Randy

 

Thanks Randy! My car is more a tribute than a recreation as the original is being restored and will be at Pebble Beach in August which is why I coming to the good ol' USA.
S/G car last July.


One day I want to build a dead nuts copy Millers Missile.

 

Lower the nose.

Awesome!!!!

 

Jimmy B - I was working on a '29 Chev roadster when I found some c4s, then some '24-'25 cowls. a month ago I was was at a swap meet and found a coupe rear section. This week the three port. needless to say the '29 is on hold. these bangers get a-hold of you. I've been inspired by what you've done.

 

Such an awesome project!

 

Awesome! please keep me updated with the build. Glad my build has inspired another roadster to be built.

Cheers Adam!!!


Quick update

 

Thrashing for Chopped?? I hope so

 

Beautiful work. Congratulations on your perseverance

 

Unfortunately no, I am going to the US in August for Pebble Beach and Bonneville so by the time I get back I will be piss poor broke. That said I would love to trailer the roadster down for Chopped if the budget allows.

Thank you!

 

Your build is an insperation to me to get on with my projects.

When I see someone like you who starts with peices of rust held together with rust that can make a car as nice as yours it makes my projects look like something that you can just bolt together.

I admire your patience and fortatude to stick with a build like yours.

I am a little ashamed to admit that I stall out on my project too often because of paper giants that I imagine are blocking my progress.

Usually when I forge ahead I find that everything works out way better and easier than I imagined they would.

I hope others see what I have seen and are also as incouraged to move ahead on their projects as I am.

Good job. Keep up the good work.

A little update I will finish painting ch***is tomorrow and ***emble car back together early next week before I leave for the US.

 

Nice work Jimmy! Love that car....ahem, I mean your car!

Have a great trip... and take LOTS of pics you lucky dog!!!

 

Awesome, Jimmy. I had no idea of the condition of the parts you started with, how did I miss that?

Really well done!

 

Jimmy great job! I love to see these kinds of builds. An inspiration! Neat looking car. Lippy

 

Jamie, if you are able to go to Chopped, I'll slip you some bills for fuel, to help cover your expenses.

 

Thanks Jeffrey!

Thank you! I am thinking My next roadster will be built for the lakes and look closer to the original.

Thanks Bill, I feel pretty lucky and will take a few thousand.

Thanks Brent. I probably would have this finished if I hadn't . Hope we can meet up on the Salt

Thanks Lippy!

Hey Mark! I'd say if I go to Chopped I will be flying down, thanks for the offer though.

Cheers
Jimmy

 

Cool build lots of good info thanks for posting.....

 

Let me know your plans, as I will probably be able to pick you up from the airport and drop you off

 

This project rules. Now: Who's gonna do a Dodge Bros. Fast Four like Jimmy B and Brent?
