Hot Rods The Rouster Indy Roadster

Beautiful work, subscribed.

 

a couple more panels roughed in today in between other work in the shop

 

Mike , they really look good . Did you roll them on the wheel or did you do them on the power hammer . Also , are you going to have a class towards the end of the summer or fall . Blue

 

most of the work is all done on the power hammer. the only wheel work that i have used so far is using it with a rubber upper wheel to put the form of the tight radius's in the head rest cowling, and the the radius in the side of the body

 

really looking outstanding! thanks for posting,

 

Looking good so far - excellent work.

How are you going to attach the body to the frame ?

 

I'm hooked! Thanks for sharing. The form of the buck itself is sexy as hell and the metal work is icing on the cake!

 

Absolutely Spectacular!
WOW, what talent

 

That is fast becoming everything I hoped it would be when you first started it.

 

more panels today, still need to iron out the light lines in a few places

 

another piece to the puzzle

 

Dang!!

 

so i have not been on here in a good while, just been busy with life and the shop, but we have started making good head way on the body going on the chassis.





















wasnt really happy with the way the windshield cowling piece was looking. looked more like and early sprint car, so i modified it



small cowling to deflect air away from injector opening



and a couple pics of me on the hammer making parts for it

 

some other pics i forgot to post

 

WOW! What a great build, have no idea how I've missed it until just now.

You are one very talent fabricator. Impressive, can't wait to see it finished.

Will you deliver it or will it come in SC's sleigh?

 

Wonderful build... and to paraphrase Jake BLUES, "How much for the oil tank?" Gary

 

Ummmm... That's Jake Blues. But I still appreciate the reference.

"Sell me your children!"

 

Absolutely stunning work!
How does a person possess skills like these?
I've wasted away a lifetime.

 

Killer!

 

Amazing ! Thanks for posting !

 

Dang, my memory is going.
Regardless, I've been planning a faux Indy style oil tank(s) on my 29 Ford A coupe build (a special of sorts) for some time, but it would be for tools, spares or luggage instead of extra sump oil. So I've been searching for similarly shaped motorcycle saddle bags (hard plastic or glass) that are lockable. I plan to mount it them in the same way, via a bracket / posts to the frame. I may have one for each side, or mount a spare to the cowl on the "mech" side, who knows. Still loving your build, Gary.

 

I saw this build a couple weeks ago in person, just amazing! Mike and his guys are some of the most talented metal artists I’ve seen. Wanted to thank you Mike again for the tour of the shop and letting me play on the power hammer.

 

Very cool build. Keep the updates coming.

 

thanks for the kind words everyone

 

Outstanding craftsmanship sir.Looking forward to your updates.
Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.
