Hot Rods My Thames is a roller now!! Getting excited :)

Well I was able to set my 48 Thames back down on all 4 legs today. Front and rear suspension are all pretty well buttoned up and engine and trans are mounted etc. I got the stance right on in my opinion, and it should ride and handle well. I still have some minor welds to finish and clean up on the bottom side of the frame, and it will all come apart again to paint etc. Next i need to start squaring up the body, aligning the doors etc, then firewall and floors. Then steeing and supports etc. Still a long road ahead, but I am starting to see real progress and am really getting pumped up. Still hoping to drive it by spring 2011 or early summer. Whatcha guys think?? Later, Rusty.

Looks like it's going to be fun!

 

wowzers!! very cool!

 

That is turning out sweet.

 

I love those babies! Keep it up man......

I'm jealous of those skinny Ansen sprints in the front! Been looking for a set for my Hillman Husky, looking good!

 

As an Anglia owner all I can say is CQQL!

 

Bitchin'.........

Looking good ! keep it up !

 

I love it...

 

looks really good. stance is right on. Thanks for sharing Rusty

 

Nice.....Keep posting more pics. Cool ride!!

 

Sweet ! The roller stage is always very exciting !

 

Always been one of my most favorite cars of all time ever since I built the Revell kit back in the 60's. Really looks awesome.

 

I like it! Going to enjoy watching this one come together. Thanks for the peek.

 

This is killer. What's better than a panel? Nothing. Can't wait to see this one get done.

 

Excellent !!!!!

 

very very nice.

 

Sweet! Love the small ones

 

Get in there!what's going on at the front,not a full "flip"?Also,I don't know if you like that look but the back panel shouldnn.t be straight.I mention it because mine's the same but its not factory.Oh yeh,I got louvres and should be ready in 2021

 

I'm putting the stock front sheetmetal back on, and using it as it was intended so no tilt front. As for the rear panel. My original was pretty banged up so I fabbed up this new one and I was going to put the cut out in it, but It will help hide my gas tank better this way. I plan to work on that rear panel and build some new stronger rocker panels for it today. Later, Rusty.

 

Very cool.

 

Looks great, love the brown primer and wheels, whats the front end/steering rack?

 

sweet ride.

 

That looks sweet! Looks like a hotrod and not traditional. Im surprised nobody has chimed in thier .02 cents besides me on that one. I dont care for traditional much myself.

 

Nice!

 

Is this one a keeper?
