Hot Rods SUHRsc Track Roadster Update #4

hi zach,

what about something like the light on the mormon meteor ?? its traditional.

gary



sorry for the size, i borrowed the pic from our friends at supercars.net

 

Dude - beautiful job. You are an engineer/artist/fabricator/designer all in one.

 

thanks guys
no updates.... i took it apart and stashed the pieces all over the basement
i got a few other projects that took presidence and i only have one work bay
should get back to it eventually here this winter and hopefully have it done in the spring to sell
headlights will just be mounted on the outside...an afterthought like they should be on a lakes car i guess
i think incorperating them makes it too "street minded" and its got to stay mainly as a lakes racecar to fit the image in my head

as for the game...seems retro54 was playing too???
i'm not denying it, its pretty fun

 

btt




update?




I'll just come and get it if you don't want to fuss with it any longer...

 

No updates..... come and get it......

 

Thanks... at least let me buy you an ice cream for it.

 

How much is it

 

That's a dangerous question Chris... hahaha

 

Its more of a treasure hunt then anything....

been dissassembled for a while now... and a few more projects piled into the basement since then....

just finding everything could take some time

its funny how a project you don't intend to keep, in the end... gets pushed to the back burner real fast.....

Theres a chance I might be going into debt to buy a garage/house soon... so might just have to get back on this, finish and then sell to help pay a mortgage down some... we'll see

As for the price now.... I'm open to offers (plus ice cream)

 

will you take a kidney and a wife? J/K. Seriously though I love this car and hope you finish it! I would love to see some pics of it out on the salts

 

I think I can scrape up about $100. When and where can I pick it up?

 

I'll trade you a set of rear '35 coupe fenders and some front '35 fenders too.

 

hmmmpf... looks like a few of you are hoarding in on my car... guess I'll have to up my offer a bit...

 

Fine, fine, fine, I'll throw in some ice cream too.

 

django.... find me some 39 lincoln bumper guards to go with those 35 parts, and you might be top of the crop, sorry decker...

I'll telll ya, you guys are making me want to put it back together again, thats for sure.....

here's a teaser from when I was working on the chassis a few months ago....

 

The following conversation took place. It is unedited and the participants are still dumbfounded.

Wife: "What are you looking at?"
Husband: "This kick-ass roadster"
Wife: "Didnt you show that to me before?"
Husband: "Yep. I really like the styling and details. Simple and timeless style"
Wife: "Why dont you do something like that? I mean, you spend enough time in the garage.. You should be able to do that, right?"
Husband: "Uh. Um. Er.. Why dont you cook like the people on TV?"
~ The conversation abruptly ended.. ~


Kidding aside, it is coming along great. Looks great!

 

How many do you want? 2 or 4?

How about you bring it with you to Chicago, and I'll give you a job.

 

got a job, but thanks.......and I need 2 bumper guards.... seriously.....

 

Is '40 the same?

 

I know it's been seven months, and it's been longer since SUHRsc updated on that roadster, but I just found it. The following made me laugh harder than I have in a while.

And the roadster is just awesome. Very cool, and rather inspiring. If you dig it out let us know, and if you already have and it's in another thread, let us know.

 

I haven't touched it....
This year I bought a house, with a big garage... I've been working on fixing the place up, so not too much automotive work has been done at all...

thanks
Zach

 

Zach, That roadster is coming along Great ! Looking forwar to your first driving experience.

 

looks awsome keep it up

 

Good stuff.

 

Long time no news. Are you still at it, or did it go away?

 

Look for his update #5 thread. Apparently he sold it to one of those North Carolina guys.

 

Sorry, no updates. Not sold either.... yet!

 

Old thread alert! - Figured I might as well add photos on here of how the car looks now...

Even featured on one of my T-shirts!

Sorry for the vertical video!

 

Thanx for the update. Love the chassis and that nose / fairing! Hat's off. Gary

 

So glad your back on this car. I absolutely love it!
