progress on my roadster

had this thing on the road for a bit and have been taking care of all the little thing I put off before

 

put in an old accoessory heater,made a trans tunnel etc

 

put in cool old seat belts.please excuse the horse blanket, its only temporary.This is the caravan seat

 

got my hood latched down. early production 32 hood holddowns

 

the striping was a cool surprise from Alan Johnson.

 

you guys are probably sick of this thing by now but heres one more

 

Looking good!!!

 

Louie, the cover looks great. The whole car is coming along real nice. Good job!

Hey,
I like the hood color combo. Almost looks like mine. (my hood is in the paint shop now). I think your hood latches are actually Model A. "32's were a "T" handle shape.

Also, what are you running for a transmission? It looks like the shifter comes up aft of a stock Ford.

Your car really does look great. I love the toneau cover.

 

Looks great man. THe purportions are jsut right. Has a really early feel to it. Fun,fun,fun, thats what I see alot of there

And if those are early 32 production hood hold downs as you say,(I certianly don't know eveything about 32's) I think thats really cool.

 

Looks like you're ready for the Jalopy Showdown this year.

Looks awesome Louie! Still one of my favorite cars on the HAMB.

...and Alan Johnson is a ruler with a paint brush. Definitely one of the best.

I'll dig up the tonneau cover post if you shoot more pics!!!!!! That thing turned out great, I am working on mine as we speak.

 

Tonneau cover looks great, need to look up that post and do that myself. Any additonal info/pics would be cool.

 

I cannot speak for all HAMBers........but I never get tired of 32 photos......

Looking good...like the others said.....I need to put some heat in mine.........but it was 60 plus here today so I procastinate....

 

I'll second what Deuce said. I never get tired of seeing '32's. Yours is looking good.

Looks great, man. Congrats on some nice work. Again! Are those really early '32 hood hold downs, or am I just taking all of this too seriously to get the joke?

 

Hey, it's the first time I've seen your deuce! It's looking great! I see you have a heater. I put one in my AV8 roadster also...It extended my cruisin time a lot past what my T bucket's was
Good luck,

That tunnel looks great. I like the way you tied the toe boards to the floor boards. I had been trying to figure out a simple way to do it.

Your car is looking great, I don't think I will get tired of seeing pics of it.

What transmission are you running?

Thanks,

Neal

 

Thanks a lot for the all replys guys, I cant wait to put some serious miles on this thing.The showdown is a must this year.Pray for rain. The hood latches are odd looking, they are like a cross between model a and 32. The only other car Ive ever seen them on is Robert Williams roadster in its latest form. The trans is an s10 T5 against many recommendations but so far so good.Im on the lookout for a camaro one. It works great with my drivetrain. I ll try and take some more pics of the tonneau cover. Again thanks,louie

 

Nice work man, In my opinion its one of the coolest I've seen.

 

i agree man that looks tops

 

Nice !!!!
