Hot Rods Rocket 32 build

Finally decided on the frame shape and its now all working nice.









And Tom turned up with the last piece of trim so we went to the curry house and celebrated

 

WOW! What a nice build. Definitely adding this to my list of favorites!

 

how well does your charging system work with the alt. off the driveshaft?

 

This install hasn't been tested properly yet but others i have done have worked fine.

 

She's a stunner Steve. Congratulations.

Looking forward to having a close look some time soon.

 

Smooth lil' ride!

 

This thing is over the top...as it should be!!!! Love it!

 

amazing.... especially consider it looks like it's being built in a 1.5 car garage. The amount of time invested must be huge. The attention to detail is second to none. Your work is magnificent!

 

Damn! Steve, if I sent the greaseslapper over to you would you finish it !!??!! I'm sooo intimidated!!

 

Mike this greaseslapper sounds interesting ???

 

It's my avitar. I have an album on my personal space. I still haven't learned to post pictures yet.
If I get this P.O.S. on the road I'll be bloody lucky. I'm 61, at the rate I'm going, I'm running out of time......

 

I see, I thought it might of been 5' 10" with blond hair & curves

 

32ft x 15ft, its not the size but what you do with it

Yep there is a few hours in the car but not as many as you would expect

Thanks for the thumbs up

 

Naw, mine's about 5' 6" with blonde hair & curves. She's the very least of my problems. She doesn't understand why I don't just pay someone to finish the car.

 

That car is the dog's bollocks!!! Unreal, seriously it is beautiful.

 

Man, that is a lot of green flake! It's a pretty cool ride.

 

Thanks guys, i'm pretty pleased with it myself nearly finished too

 

It going to be done for the Supernats?
Hope so, need some flake overload

 

Maybe Dave. Toms coming tomorrow with the hood material

 

Good god, what an intense green! Looks great man, good work!

I just picked up a 394 on the weekend, I don't think mine will be 6x2, but if your gonna dream, dream big!

 

Intense, thats a very good word for the colour mate, Thanks.

Whats your 394 going in ???

 

Steve,

This really is going to be a fantastic Rod when done, and that doesn't look like it will be too long!

Now just imagine your 32, Dave 33 Russ's 32 ( when it finally gets done!) and Pauls F100 panel all lined up in the Sunshine. Sunglasses? More like welding goggles!!

You could always have a sneak preview on Sunday.......

See you then,

P.

 

'28 A coupe.

 

Its gonna be a tight fit

 

Paul it won't be at the drags on sunday but your welcome to call by for a cuppa after if you like. we are nearby

 

Don't I know it! We'll figure something out, I'm sure.

Keep up the good work!

 

Havn't had time to post any updates as i've been stripping the 6 carbs for paint , was going to leave them raw as i couldn't decide what to do.

Carbs have been completely stripped and each part masked off (not a job i would want to do often), all bolts replaced with stainless that i've polished Painted with just the green mettalic as i think they flake would buildup on them too much.

Here's the first 3 fitted up

 

Looks like all your hard work taping up "Stuff" really paid off they are looking good

 

Thanks, i'm pretty pleased with how they turned out

 

Langy I luv how your car has turned out! Thanks for the free lesson.

If you ever come for holiday to Phuket let me know and I will show you around and teach you the ropes here and show you the cool places to stay beside the sea in secluded areas that are class but cost pennies.

Cheers Andy
