Skoog Special 27 roadster build!

goodbye. On to the next one.

 

Start the parts list!!

 

C-YA!

 

Hey, WTF just happened m?
Did you sell that wonderful little car, and to mike bowling?

I love that rod, and I enjoyed your build l!!

 

"Volvobrynk", He wouldn't sell it to a bum like me! I can't afford high end race cars like that little beauty!!
Stay tuned though-more coming- Mr. Ray never sleeps!!

 

How could I know, it leaves on a trailer in one pic, and re-enters in yours.
And you don't seem like a bum, and if so you are my kind of bum.

Hey wait a minute...

That sounds somehow wrong, I meant to say I like the way you post!

 

Hahaha. Starting a thread on my next project soon. Gotta wrap up that sedan too.

 

Second pic is at the Race of Gentlemen last year.
(I like your posts too, my friend, all joking aside.)

Got a nice little 15" steering wheel, Rayman- be cool in a race car!!

 

Love that wheel. Let's do some wheelin and dealin. I want these fenders gone.

 

Somebody has to say it; it turned out looking 'sway-backed' where the hood meets the cowl.

 

Thanks Bob. We knew that.

 

Purpose designed to create a "micro- vortex" type molecular disturbance at high speed, making the aerodynamics of the hood put downward pressure on the front end for stability at top end in sand. An old trick developed in the 1900's in German South Africa, and incorporated in BMW's until the late 1970's.

I need to take a field trip!!

 

I like you Mike. Come on up!

 

Those pictures of the car on the sand, with the driver's old helmet, made me think, "The car Pete Millar would have liked to have driven and drawn".
What a great roadster!

 

i raised the rear about 2" before sold it. Looked better with a little rake I think.

 

Great pics, great time, great car. The shot of you on the return run with the "Torrnados" pennant is perfect- What a tribute to a fallen brother.

Ya done good , kid!

 

I really enjoyed watching you build this roadster. It was a very fitting tribute. Wish I could have made it up to see it up close. Hopefully it went into good hands.

 

Very cool read. That's Back-East dedication, all right...
Enviable, good solid friends and teammates.
(with or without our 'Palmtree weather' out here!)

 

Awesome thread. Ive read through it multiple times getting ideas for my own 27. Cant wait to see what you build next!

 

And it now has a new home in SoCal

That's a big 10/4 on the sighting. Rumor on the street is those poor guys got 3 hrs of run time, and flooded out .One of the pictures posted looks like a lakefront car show.

June 2017 will be BETTER!! East Coast Rocks!

 

True to both comments.

I Like it so far.
What color of paint? Black or white?

Black, black and black, is a neat color combo for a rod!
Or white, with red seats, and Matt black wheels.

Or do you have something cooler in store?
