DJ Quik? Have you been hanging out in MY shop lately lol? I want to see more video of that car torquing with the blips of the throttle.. Man I'm never gonna fall asleep now and its way past my bed time.
Ryan, Did Kieth pinch the frame under the cowel, I looked at the pictures and I cannot tell if he did or did not. I love this build , I think 29 roadsters on 32 frames are my all time favorites Thanks Frank
Even my wife liked the subtitles. Usually she just shakes her head, rolls her eyes and goes back into the house...
hahahaha, that video is priceless.... and I swear, my 327 says " Potato-potato-potato-potato.... waaaahhhhwaaaaaaahwaaaaaaaaaaaaah" .... The Y-Block in the 34 is more like "Harrappa-Harrappa-Harrappa..." That´s a subject I can discuss for days...
Wiring is done. Here's proof: And now, it's just down to the details... and, of course, the interior.
The wiring kit was from Sacramento Vintage Ford. And one kit is damn near enough to do two cars. Yeah, the frame is pinched at the cowl.
Great job Tardel! COCHRAN...git back to work! Oh...TARDEL...turn down that rap music!! WHAT the...damn hoodlums. Ryan, don'tcha have some musical influence on the guy?? You were a Merle n Waylon kinda fella weren't ya.....give it shot man! Kiddin' aside, GREAT hot rod. Thanks for the whole posting!
Just to prove it ain't all candy and coconuts out back in the shop: The Cochran's are house sitting/squatting at Wertheimer's right now and somewhat amazingly, @El Jefe had a rebuilt starter ready to go in his shop, so we are back in business already.
Neat! Hey, I've been meaning to ask...Keith has built all these bitchin' cars for others over the years, but I've never seen mention of any personal projects?
Wasn't Anderson's T a personal project of Keith's? Or was that for a customer who backed out halfway through?
This car actually started out as a personal project and turned into a project for Randy. The T was started for a good pal of ours - Flip. Keith mocked it up and gave it to flip. Flip never got around to it and sold it to Eric.
If Tardel can whip out this roadster in a few weeks, why don't you help him on your 38 and you could get it on the road in a few months (takes longer when you help)
Keith drives a Pontiac Aztec. The '38 is a long term project. It gets worked on as time and space allows... and it will be a while as I think there are two or three cars inline behind Randy's roadster. The shop off my office isn't big enough to do more than one car at a time.
The Iconic "1911"... makes such a beautiful addition to any beautiful Hot Rod! This car is coming together so fast, what will we do when it's done?.... (insert crickets) LOL Hope another one follows!
So this totally sucks... On friday, the first drive went down. I got the camera out to document and just as the glory moment approached, my iPhone started ringing... I'd reshoot, but you can't really reshoot a first drive.
She just left with Cato for upholstery, so this thread will most likely be dormant until she's back for final detailing, exhaust, and a grand photo shoot. Next up? A '32 5w for my buddy John Mearns... I'll start a build thread soon.
