Projects My Av8 Roadster Build

Outstanding!!! Perfect!!! That's pretty much exactly what I was hoping to do to my 29. ....... Unfortunately, you didn't give me any inspiration, or motivation to finish my project, just the opposite!!! You made me realize I will probably never get it done!!! I'll never find the time, never have the patience and don't have the skills!!! ....... So, what I'm leading to is, I think you should sell/trade it to me. I've got some cash, and can trade my 29 very original Roadster, a real nice Jeep Wrangler, 3 kids, a wife and a dog!!!! .......... On second thought, I could never trade the dog!!! ....... Nice job!!!!

 

lol, thanks! but im all set on wives, kids and dogs!.

 

Just got the car back from upholstery. They did a great job, nothing fancy but it looks great.

 

How it should look. smart functional and sweet.

 

Looks fantastic...a pleasing balance all around...

 

Agree. Too fancy wouldn’t fit the style of the car. Looks fantastic!

thanks. yeah I don't think any other style would of gone over too well. I ordered my Top and probably have it done in the next few weeks

 

looks great!

 

Great car!!!

 

Very nice.

 

Superb exercise in restraint, attention to detail is outstanding. Remember the devil is in the detail.

 

Very nice job love the wood floor.

 

Great build! Where did you get the string to wrap and space the spark plug wires? This is a great destabilize that most overlook

thanks, its a black waxed lacing cord.
If you do a search on Amazon. You can find it

 

In my day Model A on Deuce rails was a Highboy. Had a 29 roadster on Deuce rails years ago, 29 Highboy.

 

This has to be one of my favorite cars!!!! I Love that you used a Flathead. In my opinion nothing sounds better. Your color choice is top notch as well. I hope you won’t get too mad if I copy some of your ideas when I build mine. Great Thread. It was very well done. Congrats.

keep plugging away, you’ll get there. Holler if you got any questions

 

Question for you?

I am building an AV8 in similar fashion. I like the way you add the radiator mount extension. I will have the same problem as I am planning on running a blown 8BA. My front crossmember was bolted in when I purchased the frame. What would happen if you moved the crossmember forward vs adding the extension?

Years ago we used the spring shackles to move our radiator forward

 

you would lengthen the wheelbase

 

Great build, thanks for sharing

 

Damn. Way to set the standard. TM
