I felt the deck skin was going to need a ton of fabrication to make it work.
The decklid that was on the car is f-ed too but less so. But it has hinges, inner skin, and it was already fitted.
So I welded up the hole where the handle goes

 

She's a bit wavy but . . .

 

How soon are we having a garage add on party?? lol

I checked off a couple items on my list. Mounted up my now 12 volt generator

 

Replaced the cable from solenoid to starter and moved the ballast resistor, put on the 97 carb and topped it off with one of Jere Sheehan's air cleaners

 

Looking good Ron. Those guys in Jersey are all starting to feel your heat.
Sorry I didn't get to meet up with you in Fitchburg this year, as I intended. Perhaps I'll see you in Epping, or at another event.

Stopped to check out a '30 coupe 8 miles from home... previous owner set up a spring loaded belcrank to convert an under dash push pull knob to vertical motion... he ran a push button equipped solenoid upside down... when he pulls the knob the shaft pushes down on the button, starting his A... pretty cool...

 

I had my brother wire up an ignition switch and a starter button. It feels like a racecar when I start it. Pretty cool

Got an email from Flash,
I need to cut out of work early and "number up" my car for the TROG race card. Going to be a busy afternoon. I will send pictures when I'm done.

I had 3x on the car from last year. So I had to sand it off, and re brush the quarter. Then free-handed the new number. My wife's birthday

 

It feels pretty cool to pull into my driveway. . .

 

Nice job on the lettering, Picasso!
327 is a good luck number!

 

Looks great!

ready to ROLL ! ... go wd57 go !

 

Great job. You could be a sign painter.
Many uninformed at the ROG will think your running a small block. HA!

 

Ronnie DOES run a 327- in his '57! with tri-power and a 4 speed no less. ANOTHER car he saved from disappearing into the ground.
Dust and Rust, turned into a BEAUTY.

 

I am planning to put shocks on the roadster, I found these at the NED swap meet. I want to mount them on the cross member and attach to the top of the rear axle.

 

Does anyone know what kind of shocks theses are
