Projects My Av8 Roadster Build

Looking good!

 

Thanks for the great thread. Cool roadster. Phenomenal

 

Thanks!

 

Well, shes painted. I finally got around getting some color on this week. Set up a cheapy 10x20 wedding tent, exahust fan , filter intake and 8 led lights. Worked out pretty good, and i didnt die. I have a couple imperfections to work out but overall i am pleased with the outcome. All there us left is finishing it. .

 

Nice! Good work buddy.

Thanks Louis!

 

Sweet! Coming along nicely!

 

Awesome idea on the spray booth. I may use that idea some time.
Looks like it came out GREAT! You'll be cruising this thing before ya know it.
As the kids would say " You got skills"

 

Love it!

 

Only just found this build thread. The car is coming along great. I like that all the fab work shown in full detail. Right up my street.
Well if you had 3 people watching you now have 4. That's a 33.3% increase!

Mart.

 

I like your style!!

Thanks, Aaron.. I cant take credit for the idea. but it worked out good!

 

Haha! Thanks Mart, glad to have you onboard!

 

NICE! me being a dumbass I didn't cover my floor. I wish I would have.

 

Very cool hot rod.

 

Great work, looking incredible. I just read your thread start to finish and has been killer the whole way. Keep up the good work!

 

Looks great man, getting close!

 

Thanks man! If you ever come out this way gimme a holler.

 

Looks great! I like that color, too.

 

Thanks! I think i changed my mind 200 times when it came to picking the color for this car. It got to the point where my wife was yelling at me to just pick a damn color! Hardest decision i had to make during the build. Lol

 

Reminds me of that scene from E. T.

I’ve been wanting to do a Ivoryish car for ever. I like the early VW and Porsche colors myself.

they have some great classy colors

 

I have an O/T forever project that I painted the interior on 10 years ago. I’ve wish I hadn’t so many times cuz I would choose another color today. (Not the same color as last week or next week though.) I second the vote on vintage VW & Porsche colors, too.

 

I like the way you set up the lights.
I painted at night for less wind. But working shadows was tough.

Finally getting some time to start assembling everything on my roadster. I took the last few weeks to completely rewire and convert my 47 ford to 12 volt. To make it to the bayou roundup last weekend. Everything went great, drove it there and back, about 250 miles round trip. No issues. Now that thats behind me, time to focus on this roadster. I should be able to get it wired up and running for next week. Hopefully ill have a video for you. Heres a few updated pics

My 47 inside the blackham colosseum at the bayou roundup.



I have to repaint a headlight ring, then i can get both of them on the lights. Also stole a carb off the roadster for the 47. So i ordered another stromberg 97.

All the gauges installed

 

Coming along nicely!

 

Thanks!
