[hatch]

[hotrodladycrusr]

You welcome, looks cool http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[atch]

ok; why is it that i can see denise's, but c9's and hatch's are just the "red X"?

[caddychris]

I don't see a picture, I don't see little red X's. Does this mean I fail? Or pass? I don't think you put anything there, it's all a conspiracy.

[Rix2Six]

atch.. did ya try reloading the page??

[manyolcars]

rix2six, you have a red X too

[roadstar]

No one could have two roadsters that cool http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Here's the full size pic just for the heck of it.
Far as I know, the only two roadsters in the US running late Buick.
No belly buttons here....

[C9]

Here's a pic of the two of them that I like.
This done before I got the grille shell down to a reasonable height which resulted in a more pleasing hood line.
The 31 looks much better with the hood line matching the downward trending line of the cowl.
Little touches go a long way on these little cars.

[C9]

Here's a low angle shot of the 31 showing the lower grille shell which gets the hood line down to a nice angle.

The windshield posts get laid back a little further as well.

The posts are 32 posts fwiw.
Just requires a little grinding and filling on the Model A stanchions.
The 32 posts seem to be the way to go for the 30-31 roadsters.

Long as I'm on a roll this morning.

Hee's where it all started.
Actually it started when a friend donated a Magnum Axles Camaro front disc brake adapter bracket kit.
Not long after, the American Stamping frame rails and - not shown - Model A crossmember.
Along with a pair of Speedway's spreader bars.

All of it good stuff.
The frame rails were particularly accurate compared to each other and very, very close to the 32's factory blueprint.

Really?? The pic shows fine to me. Anyone else not seeing my pic???

[Missing Link]

Oh, Dammit! Is this like a pop quiz? Shit! If it's a blood alcohol test I better get to studying. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Rix2Six, I see your picture ok, but why a Honda with a wing on this board?

[Kevin Lee]

Yeah, is that Honda your daily driver or something?

[Petejoe]

yea that Honda's as bad as my Carebear!

[hotrodladycrusr]

Your carebear is WORSE then a Honda http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

It's ALMOST as bad as a crybaby doll, although I bet you DO have one of those, don't you http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Rix2Six, I like the look of your Honda http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

What's the advantage to using 32 post over 30-31??

[Rix2Six]

No Honda's over here! Should be my T. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Below quoted from an article I did for the FSRA site.
There's more info and pics available in a piece that may be in the HAMB tech section under hoods.
You might do a search for "hoods" as well.
There were a couple of threads about hoods posted and the windshield info is in there.

"As far as windshields for the 30-31 roadsters go there's more than a few theories floating around. Here's what I've found by research, measuring and fitting up actual components.
Model A roadsters came from the factory with two different windshield frame heights. The standard at 15 1/4" high and the deluxe at 13 2" high. These measurements taken at either side of the windshield frames along the vertical side pieces measuring extreme top to bottom.
There are four different windshield frames available from the aftermarket. The 15 1/4" and 13 2" stock ones as mentioned as well as 2" chopped versions of each. These chopped windshield frames come in at 13 1/4" and 11 2".
To give you an idea of what one looks like, the 11 2@ version is very close in appearance to the 2" chopped 32 windshield. In fact the 2" chopped 32 windshield measures 11 2@. The differences between the two, besides the rounded tubing used on the Model A frame and the rectangular tubing used on the 32, the lower horizontal piece is different due to the difference in cowl shapes between the 32's and the Model A's.
All that's well and good, but here's the trick to running the 11 2@ windshield frame: use the 2" chopped windshield post from the 32 on the 30-31 Model A stanchions. It's not a direct bolt-on, but very close. I did try an upper post from my 32 and it's a good fit on the Model A stanchion. The flaw is that the windshield ends up leaned forward about 10 degrees on a car that sits close to level. Decidedly uncool.
The fix is easy though. The Model A stanchions, re-pro's in my case, are hollow and the ledge just under the pivot stud has a 1/8" piece of steel welded in. It's an easy fix to cut the ledge down and weld in a new piece of 1/8" steel so that the pointed stop on the 32 upper post ends up in the right place. A little judicious filing and you'll have the two sides perfectly matched as to angle."

C9, Thanks

[atch]

bummer dudes and dudettes,

i can see the following:

hatch
hrlc
rix
roadstar
petejoe

i get the <font color="red">red X</font> for c9

that's after "refreshing" and also after leaving the hamb altogether and relaunching it.

so does that mean that now i failed the test?
