Hot Rods My 34 roadster....sorta

That windshield looks awfully tall though. Maybe you are just gettin older, or you're not a real man anymore..
Cheers,
Stewart.

 

Limey.....hahaha.....it's cut 2 inches and laid back a bunch. Back of the top is chopped 6 inches.....or at least the pivot is moved down 6. Pretty much gonna have to sit on the floor

It was good seeing you in detroit.....we gotta make some plans for next year

What did you use to measure 2" for the chop? There's nothing in my shop that goes that small, when marking out a chop.
Cheers,
Stewart.

 

Ha ha, Stewart, you only buy the 6" wide masking tape too, huh?

 

Any news?

 

Not really.....been too busy to get much done. Just a bunch of little stuff

 

Great job Clark. Where can I buy the 17" wheel hoops? Bob

 

Well I'm back on my car. Here's a current shot. I remade the splash pans below the hood. Both are now pretty much done. Decided to go with 35 hoodsides. One is done now. The deck lid is also fitted. Not too long till I tear it apart for paint.

 

Here is the done hood side.

 

Here's the trans tunnel with a recess for the gas pedal.

 

Doors now have their inner structure and I also made a seat....sorry this wood was just temporary so I could sit in it

 

One of the most important thing I've done is getting the wheels just about done. The wheel with the tire is a 16 inch. The primered wheels are 17 inch.

 

Beautiful

 

WOW!!

 

Oh Clark, I've missed you so much. lol
This is def one of the most inspiring builds. Such a cool rig.

 

You have a good eye, can't wait to see the rest...

 

Great to see the progress Clark. Just keep chipping away at it. See you at Cobo.
Stewart.

Oh yeah... cant wait til its done

A lot got done today....last thing I was working on is hood latch placement. My OCD tells me to evenly space them on the hood......but visually I think they look best lined up with the louvers

 

Such a badass roadster.............

 

Those inner fender panels are brilliant. Keep at it.

 

Nice work on the roadster and thanks for the update.

 

Looks amazing. Your work never disappoints. Can't wait to see the finished car.

Latches are on and hood is just about done with the gapping.

 

Air cleaners are ready for paint...

 

They have a VW look to them.

 

Here's the bracing I added to sturdy it up and mount the top...

 

Nobody...they do have German on them. But they're flame arrestors
