Hot Rods A look back at where it started, 1925 chev roadster update.

I am close to tearing the roadster down for paint so I thought a look back was in order.
$175 + GST = $192.50 (3-port included )


With help from Earl Schieb I bought this from TN


This says it all


Initial mock-up








After a bath in molasses




Starting the steel out

Ya sure been keepin' busy Jimmy! "Murbs" must be startin' to crank-up about now, so must your compressor.

 

Wow, that is really looking good. BTW is that a whippet grille shell?

 

wow....don't know what else to say. been watching your build....very impressed.

 

Fantastic Jamie.

Every time I get pissy about one of my projects all I gotta do is think about YOU building THAT from damn near nothing Puts things in perspective REAL fast. Very cool ,my friend

 

Dedication to a theme, good work, can't wait to see it done.

Hellmet had dedication to get the Calori roadster clone done too. Gotta respect that.

 

Yeah it was hectic Thursday Night. I may get the car painted today doubt it will be at SOT though things are working against me including the weather

Thank you and yes that is a Whippet shell

Cheers!

Thanks Mike, this project probably wouldn't of got off the ground if you hadn't helped me out, so a big..... Thank You!!!!

Thanks Tony, Billy's Calori clone is amazing.

Cheers
Jimmy

 

You can't do that Jimmy....MORE PICS YA TEASIN' BASTARD!!!!!!

Sneak peak looks good.

looking good Jimmy.

 

MORE!!! Man, that roadster's looking damned sweet...let's see how the paint turned out...roll it outside again!!!...

 

cool, come a long ways.

 

Awesome. I love that car.

 

You sure did an excellent job. The car is spot on for late 40's ? I think you took what most would throw away and really made something neat out of it. Looking forward to pix of it painted. Keep the updates a flowing.

Ditto!

 

Every time I see the same old BS on the ozzie forum, I just need to look at your car Jamie and it puts the hotrodding world back on the right tilt. Restores faith in me that people here do build things 'right'.

Glad to see your on the home straight, been a long project, you must be getting itchy feet now.

 

Oh come on man, your not diggin the 'lakes cars' with the L300 front ends and commo V6's........you gotta get hip to the times!!!!!!!

Looking great Jimmy!

 

looking good JB, and no the ozzie forum is not the H.A.M.B., but then not everybody has the drive to see a project thru like this bloke

 

Thanks guys!!!

Here is an outside pic


Will roll the roadster out this weekend.

 

You're a dick...hahaha...

 

Looking good sir.
More pics...please.

 

Very nice -Great JOB
