Hot Rods Thunderbirdesq Builds a Roadster!

What a "pretty" little car. Clean and tasty.
***'s n ******s T-Besqe.
Like 4 - 7s I love these threads the best.

 

I can imagine! I really wanted it to look like it belongs there... here's a shot from the backside before I cleaned it up to see just how much was moved around...

 

What a great start to an perfect Hot Rod. Can't wait to see updates on this one. Awsome work man. Keep us posted.

Good call on the '41 dash...

Thanks Mark, it's getting there. First drive before christmas! Yep, bonneville bound! No kidding, there's gonna be one long East Coast caravan out there this year! Two club brothers and I are shooting to drive out, turkeyjerk in his steel 22 T roadster and kwmpa in his 36 3 window.

 

hey THUNDER...man u do know how to wheel and deal, that body is choice! talk about old school. man your the dean HA! you will have the grand daddy of all rides, can u dig it. and i love your workmanship! and your definately not afraid of work. ur new friend in texas, call me POP or the old FART!!

 

Add a bunch of Vagabonds to the salty mix.

 

Go man GO!!
Thats looking REAL good Andy!! Exactly what a HOT ROD roadster should look like!
Nice!

Wow man, I owe you an apology. You talked with me a while back on a chrome 97 to match the other one you have on your Weiand. If you will send me your addy via PM I will gladly trade the unplated top and bowl you have for a nice 50's plated top and bowl. Then, you will have no excuse to "get er' done".

 

thats cooler than hell. i cant wait to see how it turns out. the plans for finishing it are to cool.

 

Thanks Tony, yer pedals are sittin here in the box, I haven't made it to the post office yet this week, probably goin out tmw...

****, I'll even do you one better, check yer pms!

 

slow down, you still got another 6 months of winter to go yet !
That car looks right,sits right and will be right on, nice job Andy

 

You need to pack that Roadster in a container ,ship it over to me ,I want it ! hahah

Looking forward to seeing more progress shots, I enjoy these threads.......

 

Haha, thanks Phil! Forget that slow down nonsense, I'm gonna do some ice racing this winter!!

That could be arranged... Talk to me in about 12 months when I start getting my "need a new hot rod" twitch, hehe...

 

Wow!! Sweet!

 

Nice job Andy! I'm going to Bonneville again in 10 as well..with those HATE guys!

Awesome! We'll add you to the RECHRTTB '10 (registry of east coast hot rodders traveling to bonneville 2010) I think I'm gonna pack a spare transmission in my trunk...

 

Andy:That thing is reet!! Sure sorry I missed out on the Gibson's. If ya need a light bar let me know. Got a nice one you can have ...

 

finally a build thread...ive been waiting for you to start one...i kinda have a mini one in my inbox...looking good though...just make me realize how far behind i am...see you this weekend

 

Haha, well hopefully not for long. We outta be able to get a little bit done saturday morning anyhow. I talked to Matt about sat today, he's gonna come up after work and we're gonna go install his isky bumpstick and fire that engine (again...)

 

Yeah im going to do some moving of cars around so i can work in there...I officially have to much ****...but anyway im hoping we can get some done saturday...im buying a heater so i can work everyday after work...matt and i are going to stroble's to get that other flathead tomorrow im going next friday to simpsons to drop all that stuff off...yeah we need to get matts car ****oned up

 

nice work car is cooool

 

I love the little details...body line kickup...dash ends...very well done.. Did you have to cut the rear subrails out so the body sat down on the frame or were they gone already? I'd love to see some pics of the way it looks back there now.

 

Jerry, someone already cut them to fit this frame when I bought it. But... it looks like they did it with a freaking hammer and chisel! Ok, not that bad, but not very good either. I need to get under there and clean everything up a bit before I build the new curved pieces to weld in there.

 

You're welcome Andy. All the good feedback written is well deserved.
NO worries about the pedals at all man, whenever. It's going to be a while til i use them anyway

Tony

 

When I saw your truck go on Ebay, I knew you were up to no good & it was only time that we'd know. It'll be a great winter project. Keep up the good work..it's gonna be real nice.

 

andy..

looking good.. hope to see you again soon..
