The rectangular tubing structure on top of the rails is the subfloor bolted down. Won't be at Billetproof, but I will be...

Hey Adam, give me a call... What's the timeline looking like on this thing?

How's that Carson top coming along on the Chevy?

[Taildraggin]

Looking very cool. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[tragic59]

By the way, the Ford is looking kick ass. That flattie looks sweet.

[heyitsnate]

that thing is awesome!!!

[Antibilly]

looks great....are you gonna box it or run a 4cyl? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

[Dirty2]

Thats looking really good. Keep up the work !!!

[Rusty]

That is some nice frame work. I guess you have the square tubing bolted down so when you tie it into the body it will be removable? Looks great.

[Paul]

shiny is good!

looks like nice clean work

Draglinks, he's running that flathead V-8 as shown mocked up in the pic. I think the dude building the frame/chassis set-up is a knowledgable and very experienced guy... So, I'm pretty sure the frame will get boxed at some point.

[AHotRod]

Nice work, looks like your serving "dropped-axle" as the main course, with a side of brake parts http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

NICE. The transmission mounts on the stock A crossmember look clean.

[slazzen]

wow super nice

[xadamx]

The guy doing the work is in Fresno and his name is John Taylor...he rules. Like I said a while back, I built my one car for the year and am still working on my '51 Chevy...so I am having John build this for me. His work is simple and clean. I am chroming or powdercoating everything under the car so I can finally have a car that feels complete and finished. The flatty pictured is a beefed-up '49 8BA with all the goodies. John is modifying a '32 chopped windshield setup to fit the '30 cowl, it's gonna look really clean. I'm going with a '29 grill shell, I like them as much as '32's and they are more affordable. Thanks for the compliments, I will pass them along to John. Here is a picture of his daily driver...

[Kevin Lee]

I don't understand the 32 windshield modification - what will that do to the car? No visor?

[xadamx]

Nothing to it, just got a good deal on a '32 setup complete! Won't really do anything for the car at all. It's a roadster so no visor anyway...

[Creeper Larry]

My car beat John's coupe at the Antique Nats!!!!! I did cheat though.-Creeper

[SamIyam]

Neat car... but that body that is on there isn't a roadster... and it originally came with a visor, it's just missing.

Tell him to keep up the good work, I bet it will be really cool when finished.

Awesome project, keep up the pic's!!

They really do. This was one of the points I was admiring. Is the tail of your transmission going to be above the stock cross member, or are you going to "hang" your transmission from those tranny mounts?

[xadamx]

Sam, I am aware that it's not a roadster, but it's going to be...just haven't hacked off the rest of the top. We are using the 32 roadster windshield and stanchions and modifying it to the car because I got a pretty good deal on it.

[titus]

it looks great, cant wait to see it done,

to bad your cuttin of the top off, you dont see to many sport coupe hot rods built, but im sure it will look great your way.

[Crease]

Very nice, that some pretty serious "Z'in" goin on there. Looks great.

[Crease]

Don't see many sport coupe hot rods. Personally, I love them. Sounds like it's gonna be a roadster, correct?

[primerkid]

xadamx,
Projects coming along real nice, keep up the good work!
John's daily is really cool...

Its your car..ofcourse..but I agree with titus...I'd stick to the sport coupe looks...either way..its gonna be cool when on the road...since its already cool looking, sittin' in the garage http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[xadamx]

Thanks...I am actually going to have a carson-top made to look like a chopped version of the original sport coupe top. I just really want a roadster. On the road in a month or so...stay tuned.
