Projects Jordan's 29 Ford Roadster build thread

Real nice workmanship, keep it up.

 

Careful! The tradition nazis will be screaming BILLIT!! LOL

 

Nice job!!!

 

No billit here buddy just a little manual machine work, and terrible work at that. I'm an awful machinist!

 

Clean and mean!

 

Thanks Draggler!

 

A very good build so far!

 

WOW! Great job!

 

Nice work!!

 

This is glorious! Sub'd!

 

Mind tellin' us about yer mounts???

 

Lookin Good!

 

Oh baby, this thing is bitchin - sub'd!

 

Very sweet! Makes me want to get off my ass and go work on my stuff.

 

The mounts are 1"x2" steel capped off with 1-3/4" round tubing. The rubber is a polyurethane body mount kit for a C5 Vette. I had never seen a model A body that was fully rubber mounted, so I figured I would give it a shot.

 

Nice work Jordan! I like what I see

 

Worked out ok. Stoked!
On to tie rod and drag links...

 

Super clean car! Also, I could not have said it better myself. It is hard to look cool in sandals, Especially with a missing toe.

 

The steering arms turned out great. They have the look of something you would see on a vintage Indy roadster in the Museum at Indy or on some European grand Prix car out of the thirties rather than hot rod parts that were whittled up in a guy's garage. Your work on the car amazes me more every time I look at the thread.

 

Very nice style Jordan, well thought out designs.

 

Any new updates?? Great work thus far!

 

wow shit looks killer good work!

 

Revised cross steering. Links are made from 3/4" X .125 wall DOM. No more bent tie rod!

 

Wow! Thank you so much, that's a hell of a compliment. I'm glad you dig it. I must say I was pretty tickled that the arms turned out as good as they did. I'm really trying to push my fabrication up to the next level. I am learning so much on this build and I couldn't do it without the help of all you hambers!

 

did you want to build me one also lol ... damn your doing a good job man

 

My "Ian Berky inspired" $20 steering column is coming along...

 

And the original thread I got the idea from;

Thanks Ian !

 

Loving the roadster my man

 

I got my driveshaft all made up. Thank you south bay driveline! These guys were great to work with!
Working on some more floor templates too. I also got the clamp to my column drop made up. It's just another column drop off a scrap cowI I had lying around. a quick shave and a little machining...

 

nice work,like where it's going
