Time For Roadster Refurbish, HiBoy?

you already know my opinion.

but does anybody give a hoot?

I like it, no matter what.

 

Getting staged for touch down of body. Got hood sides ready for paint. May not use them as a highboy. I like the way it looks without the hood. At least for a while.

 

Well a bunch of guys came over tonight to drink beer so we figured what the hell, lets put the body back on Beer and Brownies
Sorry Tater could not make it Big Thank You To Everyone

 

call me back when it is time to put the fenders back on.

 

Fenders What Fenders?

 

Wiring is getting there! It wont be long now Made mount for Odyssey battery out of the stainless steel front from Ted & Donna's dish washer. Thanks Guys I am using a Sacramento Vintage Ford vintage wiring kit. I have made my own wiring diagrams since much of the stuff in the kit does not apply to my equipment. I do like the cloth wire etc. I am prewiring the dash on the bench.

 

You really need all that wire in a Roadster?

 

I knew this would make you nervous! Bob, I have no radio,no heater, all mechanical gauges except volt meter and I just started. You can have a copy of my diagram when your ready.

 

Thanks, is the red handle on the kill switch something special or just a nice detail on your part?

 

That's the way it came. From Speedway!

 

i have a camping lantern with a bigger battery than that. are they any good?

 

I have been told by fellow HAMBers that they work fine! Let you know

 

Got the steering wheel ready for paint, these photos show epoxy drying! Lots of the wiring is done. Hope to finish it up this week if other crap does not get in my way (yard work etc.)

 

Hope to finish up this week. Steering wheel is ready for paint! Put my $5.00 Hershey find Signal Stat in today and finished up under the dash. Forgot to take finished picture.

 

that sure is a lovely car in your avitar

 

The fenders look good in storage

 

Down to the last few items! Waiting for one piece of wire loom from Sac Vintage Ford to finish the tail lights. A few 2 to 1 wire fittings from Joe's Antique Auto. in Mass. (he is the best V8 Ford Dealer around). Other than that just paint on the steering wheel. Finished up the floor and even had the wife up on the lift to help with the Bermuda Bell. Hope she does not see the second
picture

 

Looking great Mark and not far to go now BUT if Barbara sees that second pic you'll be in BIG trouble. Guess you will be doing a lot of driving this coming Summer. Excellent thread on your build with lots of detailed pics which is what the HAMB members like.

 

Man that interior is nice. Looks good!

 

Fired it up today! No problems. Still need to finish tail, brake and signal lights. Also put the interior in. That little Odyssey battery turns that flathead over with ease. Try to get some photos up Tuesday.

Great job...love the tire combo...that was my idea, right?

 

That's What I will say

 

been watching this, I'm torn, as I'm a highboy kind of guy but it looks so good with the fenders on too. Great thing to be able to just bolt them on and off !

 

Drove it off the lift today Still no steering wheel as they try to match paint!

 

I like the new look, however, I like the fender version better. Just my opinion. Nice job though!

 

need to borrow some vise grips?

 

I'm looking for a vise grip with a horn button

 

I found this in my shop Just need to get it painted

 

maybe you can get Bob [37kid], to help you wire it?

 

Terminal, why does life and electricity use the same term?
