That Sounds awesome. Im staying with the 4banger for now in my coupe. I bought a 1950 8ba that might be swaped out in the future if i can brake it loose. Its ceased up right now. Streetrods are driven by Chevy, Hotrods are powered by FORD!
It's been a long time coming but finally got some color on the body. I was happy with the results. Single stage so I will let it set a couple of days and do a light polish. Hope to get the doors and deck lid sprayed next weekend. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Happy with the out come. It's the first time I have painted since selling my shop in 1993. Materials have really changed since then. Walter Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Finally an update! It has been a long summer doing the final body work. Everything is painted, color sanded, and polished. Happy with the results! Got everything out of the garage and cleaned up. I couldn't wait any longer to drive the roadster so I put a box for my seat and a hand throttle and went for a drive up and down the street. Works great and shifts very smooth. I just couldn't quit. My wife accused me of being a teenager. Ready to get the body on and start the finish assembly. Walter Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Persistence pays off. Just go my Merc Av8 running and driving after 2 years Of constant work. NICE JOB...
Thanks for all the nice comments. I am working on getting the little things done that will be easier done on the floor. Hope to put the body on in a couple weeks. Walter
That's what it's all about Walter. What a great car. You certainly hit the ball out of the park with this one!
Installed dash panel and started refinishinh the woold for thr front floor.Going to try to install during the week. Old farts reunion this weekend so we did about 30 years on Hot Rodding in two days. Great fun!! Walter

Some progress! I got the body back on the frame. Maybe this weekend I will get some bolts in the holes. I get pretty excited until I realize how much work is left to do. Walter Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Great looking roadster! I really enjoyed the start up video !Get her done and drive the wheels off her!
No 32 tank. I have two choices. One is a Fordson tractor tank and the other is a repop T tank. Which ever one I use it fits behind the seat in the trunk. My biggest problem right know is where to mount the chock, starter button, and headlight switch. Originaly I was going to mount them in the dash but know I hate to clutter the dash up. Walter
I am useing a stock 32 cross member with a stock 32 transmission moumt. When you use that set up it allows to use stock 32 pedals, limkage and fork. works slick useing all original mounting holes. Thanks for the Nice Comments!! Walter
