my new roadster?
well since there was a little spoken of my new car on the "track nose A" thread i figured i would post some pictures.
this car is by no means finished. i just painted it right over the welds to take it to the jalopy showdown on a trailer...it does have a motor and all the mechanicals in it...just need to do all the plumbing wiring and finishing touches on the body, make another seat etc. this is a 28 sport coupe that i cut up. its channeled 4 inches, shortened 3 inches in the doors, rear deck stretched 5 inches and lowered 3/4 then body lines added around the back and along the bottom. the doors are thinned down a good bit and the whole interior capped off. the frame is Z'd 2 inches in the back and the front end has 37 front spring perches welded to the back of the axle making it a sort of suicide front end...its 46 axles and spindles and brakes, flathead V8 motor with a 3 speed toploader trans. well anyways heres the pictures zach

Re: my new roadster?
wow, thanks everyone....didnt expect so much response from a "coupe"
the nose scoop sides will get filled in and alot of other things...this is just a "so far in the progress update" shiny. i didnt end up using your posts...these are the stock ones..the roadster stuff needed changed around so much seemed like a shame to cut it up and i decided to leave the bigger step as the last remaining stock coupe part zach

Re: my new roadster?
Very clean, very simple, I dig it a lot!
I like the grill and axle fairing the most. Why haven't you posted build pics? Rich

Re: my new roadster?
That's excellent!!! I love it and the recurring theme of the scallops, windshield frame and the peak on the grille shell. Very nice...

ive been keeping quiet about this car so that i could hopefully drive it to the jalopy showdown and have no one really know about it beforehand....but that didnt happen, got in a little over my head for the short time i had to work on it with all the aluminum stuff i decided to do...so here it is i have pictures of most steps along the way if anyone wants to see anything thanks zach
