Features TWEETY BIRD, JIM GOVRO'S BEAUTIFUL CHANNELED 32 ROADSTER RETURNS AFTER 50 YEARS, KERVILLE DRAGS

I hope they changed the frame as the fenders and hood will not fit the way the frame is mounted. I owned it for near 20 years.

 

Oh I think they’ll figure it out....

 

Andy is my mentor and hero with my own channelled roadster and a Red Ram like Andy's. My RRRoadster would not be in existence without Andy's guidance... I saw Tweety in Andy's garage.

 

Some progress has been made.

 

Oh and this too.

Liking the progress so far - dig the 4 deuce intake with polished carbs!

Kieth, Jeff, and Rudy are the most awesome men. Heart and soul hot rodders.

 

It’s on its way to GNRS correct?

 

I remember this car from it's hay day. What a stunner. This whole story is so fresh and fantastic. Thank god for this great forum. H.A.M.B. rules!! The beautiful dog is very special I am sure.

 

So maybe a little more has been done.

 

Things are really happening fast. Duncan has been helping every spare moment he has. To think back in September 2017 at the Hill Country Rally for Kids was a milestone for this bird. John Tullis did such a wonderful job on the design of the Bad Bird in Tweety. WOW

 

Extremely, very, very cool things happening indeed...wowie...

 

The dedicated force that drives Kieth and crew is incredible. Making this project (Resurrection Tweety) happen. Donating all the shop labor free. Rex Rod & Chassis is going to Jim behind the wheel of Tweety for the first time in 57 years this year 2019!!!

 

Just AWESOME!!! We're all really psyched about the final assembly stages!

 

Rad!

 

Unbelievable, I am getting real excited to see this getting finished up and look forward to the maiden voyage when done! Make sure to get a video shot of that!

 

It is awesome to finally see this car in some color! It is coming along great!

 

Looking gooood.

 

I don't think they figured it out. The hood sides are taper sectioned because the front of the frame came out square with the firewall. Look at the gap between the frame and the bottom of the hood side at the firewall. Notice that the forward loovers are longer than the back ones.

 

So by saying it doesn’t fit, your referring to this gap at the bottom of the back of the hood side? Between the hood and the frame?

 

Isn't it the same ??? Looks like it here. Gonna' be awesome again, me thinks. Tweety on ... gang.

 

The frame was mounted to the body at an angle. I shoud know. I took it apart. There were stacks of washers and nuts and pipe fittings at the wheel well which proped the back of the frame up and angled the front down. The frame is now mounted flat to the body. One of the genius styling tricks was to angle the front fenders down. It made the car more aggressive and faster looking. It will look different with the fenders angled up.
At this point, I would pie cut the frame at the firewall.
This is my fourth post on the subject.

 

Yup you’ve posted 4 times on this thread.

So your saying if the body isn’t mounted on the frame with taller mounts in the back, in fact shimming it higher, the rest of the forward sheetmetal won’t align correctly.

And if you were to approach this instead of putting taller mounts in the back you’d modify the frame.

 

Yes

 

Here we go! Houston, let’s move the rocket.

 

So cool!

 

Oh damn!

 

Well Honky Tonk Batman...Shazamm Done...Congrats to All Involved...

Thanks @Tim
