Yes I know, It was a very bad feeling when I saw the story on Instagram last weekend. I m happy that the owner is fine.

How many aftermarket automotive parts brake? how many OEM parts fail? in both case I assume we all know that can happen and can be very bad.
I had an Olds 58, the pitman broke in half in a parking lot... will I (we) stop building and riving cars or hot-rods? I don t think so, will we be even more careful with the parts we buy, definitively !

 

Looking really good, Pete!

 

Pete

My hat goes off to you! The coupe looks great....you've turned chicken shit into chicken soup.

 

Thanks Pete ;-)

 

Is that a deuce steel frame under the roadster? I have one under my 5w

 

Indeed

 

More progress

Fanfuckingtastic!

 

Body test on the painted frame, it always the help to stay motivate to see mock ups

 

Looks great.

 

Looking good.

Pida pida pida.....it's definitely rewarding to build a car from nothing, someday in gonna buy you a beer...or 20

Looks killer Pete great work !

 

Bravo

That motor sounds nice and responsive

 

Lot of Blow by and ticking also, but still run quite strong, will have to rebuild one day...
