Features Roadster Pickup........picture thread

Ok...this may not be HAMB friendly, but does anyone have any pic's of the '33/'34 roadster pickups, based on the car body?

I think this is the one that Roy Brizio built back in '83.



My brother-in-law, at Show Me Rod and Custom, has that mold, and I am considering building a beater hiboy version, but am looking for pic's.

Ditto what he said... Any more on this one? Is it me being a dumb ass or do i see no rad in it?

Glad someone posted the "happy days" truck. Always been one of my favs... I'd like to build a replica just for fun...

 

A friend of mine owns this RPU. It was built by another friend, Don Marks.

If I remember correctly, it's a '36 with a '35 shell. Don reworked the door tops and the back of the cab to roadsterize it. The cowl, I think, is '34 roadster along with the WS frame.

Well, I can finally post the actual start of my avatar becoming reality. This is a Brookville roller that I just picked up last week. Next step is drivetrain, wiring and the usual. It'll have a 351 Windsor/Tremec TK500. Keepin' it simple and as old school as possible.

 

Here's mine before tear down for paint and wiring

 

Congratumacations Doood! I knew you were wanting to do something......

 

Here's my project. Started with a backyard resto body,stretched and leaned, custom chassis, 327 w/4-71, 5-speed, Halibrand quick change and rollers. I'll finish it one of these days.

 

Mines a 36 Ford PU with the roof cut off.

 

those of us who know you will believe that the day it drives out of the shop...hahahaha

 

VERY nice work. Get after it! Gary

 

sweet! nice stance.

 

Just looked through the thread, gotta love 'em...we (my son and I) built one for a driver, has been on the road since '96.....

 

Here's a couple of current pics of Joe Cardoza's Roadster Pickup....taken the last couple of years

 

When I was a kid a guy name Mike Hogan in Valinda Ca. gave me a ride in his roadster. All I can remember was the smoke boiling off the tires next to my elbow and all those carbs on top of that HEMI. What a neighborhood to grow up in. Across the street is where Les Hawkins lived ( The 15 OZ. fuel coupe) Never got a ride in that sucker. I guess I can tell the story now since its been 47 years. That roadsters pickup of Dean Lowes, his younger brother Jack and I would play drag racer when he wasn't around. We even put his Halibrand mags on Jacks 31 sedan one day. We were only 13 and didn't know any better. Sorry Dean...HEHEHE

 

Sweet...........

 

well heres mine ... not done by any means
