28-29 Roadster on 32 frame pics

Manny Betes car built by he and his brother late 30's early 40's... Riley 4 banger...

 

here's mine, brookville body on a perimeter frame from Gary Maxwell at Blackboard Hot Rods that I put a '35 crossmember in. Running a '64 425 nailhead, motor is just sittin in there in these pictures. Sorry for the large photos

 

Man I LOVE 28-29 roadsters!

^^^^^ Any p m 's yet??????????/

 

Here's yblock292's 29 on 32 rails, it was built this way in 1955 and hasn't changed yet.

 

Here is pic of mine. Orig steel, used hardwood strips between body
and frame, also frame pinched at firewall. These are my rain tires,
bias off in this pic.

 

A couple more of the Manny Betes car.

 

One from my archives.I love the 29/32 Combo.

I was looking at the Wescott's frame measurements and it shows to pinch the rear of the rails at the wheel opening. I am not pinching the front, do I have to pinch the rear?

 

don't pinch the rear.keep the chassis all 32 spec's.You'll be glad you did.
I would have bought that from John but lost all my extra $ at the horse track.

 

Here's mine... The picture is at a funny angle, but you get the idea.

Here's mine. Well, it's mine for 3 more days.

 

This is mine. Like yours, I built my body from a pile of pieces. I have parts from about 5 different cars on it. Most of the previously posted bodies are WAY nicer than mine. But, it is on the road and driving daily (during the summer months anyway). And, I have less than 1500 bucks into the whole body assembly. I do enjoy scrounging for parts.

`29 on a SoCal `32 chassis

 

Built this little guy and sold to fellow Hamber few months back...

 

Anyone have any pic's of a car from the rear with a stock '32 rear crossmember? When did guys start using model A rear crossmembers.

 

like firerod, would like to see pics of car from the rear using a stock 32 rear crossmember?

 

Is there a build thread on you car? I'm planning a build right now and want to build mine very similar. What tire and wheel combo are you using? Thanks

 

Here's my ol' man's

 

Every time I think about the 28-29 roadsters on Deuce rails the late Bill Burnham's car comes to mind.. .

I hear his grandson is the caretaker of "Old Blue". HRP

 

I love 28/29 roadsters too

 

you only need a model A rear x member if you are using a quickchange rear

There's nothing I like better than to revive old threads - getting new eyes on these and getting more images that've popped up in the last six years is a trip. And, since this is a picture thread...
