Hot Rods Still no snow! So lets get a Roadster started.

Helping some friends get a 32 roadster set up for a build! Then we went to lunch.

Then took some tires of early rims

 

Love the cheese grater deck lid. HRP

 

Looks like another nice build! Is that deck lid a leftover from the one that went to Sweden? Bob

 

Off to a great start, wondering what tire was cut with?
I tried using a grinder on a tire i had to remove from 1928 Hudson wheels.
Never again, it worked, but was very messy.

 

yeah, a smooth one went to sweden.

sawzall, it was one very hard tire and the first time i ever had luck cutting one off.

 

Nice clean cut there, wish I had taken pics of my effort.

I hope the snow holds off for you guys, the deck lid hints at an interesting build, and I'm keen to watch.

 

the old paint is coming off that deck lid and this will be a super deep, extra dark, ridiculously expensive, mirror straight, black paint job.............or maybe just shoot some black on it.

 

First tire I've ever seen cut off that easy! That deck lid would look nice on my roadster Think he would miss it?

 

When I cut tires off rims I put a tire iron in between the tire and rim just so I don't nick it. Bob

 

Never got that close!

 

deck lid?.......... what deck lid?

 

Mark,
My duck hunting ain't worth a damn. I hope you can't open the door at Christmas !!

Thats all, Carry on

 

I'm doin the same, picked this up yesterday, gonna build it for my trimmer, he'll drive it to the LA Roadster Show next J une

 

Oh yeah I forgot.

 

started stripping the grill shell.........i think i can save it

 

Near perfect shell! You can handle it.

 

Must of been one hell of a school bus grille. Sheeez' .... that color.

 

"what is that a cross between piss yella and puke green"

 

Proves Chevy owners are stupid! Wait I just bought a 32 with a Chevy in it

 

it is getting a hood with a bunch of louvers

 

This looks like too much fun!! 334guy....how about some pics of the '34 roadster???

 

Ted- should we use the Pines Winterfront grille on this one?

 

hmmmmm.......your call.

 

Here ya go timwhit, and it's 4 Sale so is the 34 3 winder

 

Take it Ted and let me know so I can visit .

 

I know where you live.

 

It looks like the one I had years back. Did you buy that from me?

 

Seriously?? It was dealer installed in a Tudor sedan from as far North in Montana as you can get.

 

back at it today. hood had a bunch of small splits at the corner of the louvers.
a little weld, a little grinding and now time for primer.

 

Nice job Ted! Jan. 20th still no snow!
