Projects survivor old hot rod Little yellow roadster

So this is it, 33 34 ford roadster old hot rod looks like it was a 5w with the roof cut off they welded the doors shut and cut down the bottom of the car 7inches also appears to be channeled around 10 inches!!
looks like it was set up for a chevy had a cool homemade hurst style mount and possibly a power glide. It has old interior in rough shape but it will work for now, wrap around bucket seats maybe a neat center console at one time diamond tuff interior on top of wide pleats wrapped over the doors and around the back very cool!
has a bunch of old pin stripe work around the firewall
and my favorite part, has a great old top and bows with side curtains

Stock dash with a neat 40 ford mirror molded into the top also drilled with a bunch of gauges and a radio in the glove box. Oh and of coarse you cant forget the wood grain paneling.
Pressed aluminum panel, pop riveted for the firewall
49 Lincoln taillights
57 Pontiac rear
40 front end

Plans ...

I would love to try and make it to the round up I think its 7 weeks away haha

I have an old runner flathead 8ba with neat old speed equip
39 trans with a torque tube and 48 rear
16s with wide whites
Cool dropped axle and lots of old chrome
and a bunch of cool gauges

Someone must know the history of that.
Pretty cool in a time capsule kind of way.
Be neat to see it going again

An ancient Hot Rod in Milwaukee and you got to it before Bob?

 

Wow!

Thats a Coupester!!! Aren't they illegal or something?
Something about them never being built back in the day or something???

Awesome find!
I could go for that in a big way...Hot Rodding at its finest.
Kick ass and get it out asap!!!

 

I Want it....go ahead and drive it to Kentucky the snow has about melted!!!

 

everything about that car is cool. build thread starts here..........

 

Funky! I'm diggin' it!!

 

very neat car, dont think youre gonna make the round up though !
cant wait for progress

 

why cant i find sweet stuff like this? Awesome!

 

Wow! the pics of that car just brings a smile to my face. Just fantastic! What is the finned box mounted to the pass. side frame?

 

Looks like you have your work cut out for awhile,, seems to me there are quite a few other projects in the back ground. I would go nuts in your shop,,,,,keep us posted.

 

i love that little thing man!

 

I hate it when they weld the doors shut. Oh well, go for it.

 

Sitting that low Who needs opening doors? The interior resembles an early vette. Must have been built 60's or earlier.

 

Definately unique and a conversation piece at the least. Will draw a lot of atten tion pulling into meet with that! Now, THAT'S a channel job!!Good luck!

 

it was some old trans cooler they had for the auto

progress is going good i flattened the front cross member i went ahead and changed it to a model A member as the old was just about cracked in half

Bob Bleed and i have been mocking it up we set a dropped axle in the front i also mocked it up with a friends 16 inch wheels and tires

Flathead has temporary mounts i tached on the frame to move it around so we can find it a good home

being its channeled so much 10 inches and trimmed the bottom another 7 we are trying to find the best way to get me the most room with out the car looking even weirder haha

I will be running swinging pedals hydraulic brake and clutch through old chrome masters

working on mounting my steering and pedals hope to have them mounted by the end of today

 

damn dude...that thing's uglier than I am...


can I have it?

 

found more old pin stripe work under that aluminum insert



its cleaned up pretty good lots of holes to fill now

going to run these

 

Jeff the old chrome masters are fucking sweet!!

 

^agree!

That is one cool roadster

 

Such a killer rod..
