Hot Rods Project Cars: The Roller Stage.

Yeah, that little story is so true, justa couple of weeks I had the same experience.
Before that stage, people came in the shop with that "What's this gonna be?"-look in their eyes and now it's this "When are we goin'for a ride in that car?"-look......

 

Like everything about it!

What size tires are on the front?

 

Everytime I look at pictures of that coupe I get more pumped about working on the Wade Coupe. I just have a few more things to clear off of my plate and then it's back to full throttle.

The car looks *****in', Kevin.

 

Yep, Im at that stage too. Getting ready for the BIG push to get it on the road. Roller stage DOES rule...

 

The more you get done the more evil that car becomes. Looks like something the devil is going to step out of to take your sole. Please keep the updates coming.

 

Very Cool!!!!

 

man, i'm on a shoestring budget build it feels like.......been collecting for a year....sometimes it feels like i'll never see the "roller stage"..........to lil money and not enough welding experence.........mock up is fun...but ****s after a year.....and still collecting..guess i should be happy that what i need seems to pop up....

ya that coupe is sweet..lovin the stance!!!!!

considered a chop for mine once, but it is already a damn small ride....

 

Lovin' the mail slot look, wicked cool bra!!

My projectile is nearing the roller stage and the installing the motor stage and the painting stage kinda all at the same, cant wait. Reminds me, I should be out there now block sanding. Back to it tomorrow...

 

Looks like a sweet little ride.

NO WAIT A MINUTE IT COULD REALLY BE MEAN.

IT'S GREAT KEEP GOING!

 

I know what you mean. Just stand back and check out the killer profile. It feels good to roll it out and check it out. By the way that little coupe is very bad ***! Every time that I see it I want to go out and get some stuff done on my lil coupe.

Sometimes I have been tempted to keep my cars at the roller stage, because they look so cool at that point. Here is my 34 3 window.

 

cQQl lQQkin coupe , I am at that point, I can roll it out to get to my other project ! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=395934

 

Mine is also a roller now. In a few months it will be a driver.

 

awesome car! cool post

 

same here... the ch***is on that thing is retarded amounts of cool

 

Was talking about this kinda thing with a couple guys last night. The roller stage is such a huge accomplishment. When it actually starts to look like a car instead of just a pile of parts. I love ch***is builds, they all have the same basic designs but everyone has a different spin. There's an infinite number of ways to build a hot rod ch***is. It's so cool to see one built in a garage and not out of a catalog.

 

heck I was impressed with my ch***is turing into a roller and reconditioned and new parts leaving the inside of the house to be put on the truck....that was a HUGE thing for me...

I cant wait till the body is back on (few weeks now)

Looks great Kevin....dont stop now.

 

car is absolutely radical keep us updated with pictures if possible.

 

mines was a roller, now it's blown apart for paint. I can't wait to drive it!
