History 1929 Ford Old Hot Rod Roadster Body

Anybody remember seeing this car in the 50's or 60's as it used to be a running, driving Hot Rod as I was told. This steel body was found in San Diego. The windshield used be straight up posts with a visor, when the car was together. They were cutoff later and I have the old pieces with a modified Visor which looks like a twenties Chevy. The Cowl appears to be a 1929 Ford coupe. The steel door skins appear to be custom made. The Rear Deck is similar to the 50's Hot Rod called Toy T built by Carl Burnett. The rear deck appears to be a modified steel deck and lid from a 50's Austin Healey. This car may have been raced or dragged as an Altered Roadster Class.
Thanks for any information. Chris

 

Hmm, interested to see if anyone has any info.

 

austin healey bugeye sprite back half.

 

Dunno, my bugeye never had a trunk.

 

Kinda funky and cool. Looks like a bugeye but as mentioned above the trunk would have to be fabricated.

 

I don't remember that car but I certainly remember Carl Burnet's Antique Automotive store.

 

Truncated 1928-'29 closed car cowl, what looks like a narrowed '40's GM. rear clip with the fenders moulded in...rearend moved forward... [must have been a cool altered] and home made doors... Mikie likes it...

 

Did you by that on Memorial Day?

 

The rear looks like a combination of Bugeye fenders and Spridget trunk lid.

 

The guy I bought this body from said it was a running and driving Hot Rod years ago with a tube frame.

Well........ it's a different approach. Whatcha gonna do with it?

 

I'm thinking of building this one.

 

Anybody seen one like this.

 

Nope I never saw it then but I would be real interested in seeing it running now.

 

I think it was on the cover of one of the magazines of the day. A sailor was behind the wheel. I still might have the magazine.
But where do I start looking ? (Too much stuff)

Could that rear clip be from a Crosley? Bob
