I'm starting this project and thought I would share my build... I found some old gold metal flake on these rails... seems to have been from a circle track car.... they were rough but salvageable... 32 rails with model a front and rear cross members... stock 32 k member... 32 pedals... 32 I beam with 32 wishbones... reversed eye old chrome model a spring... model a rear spring with 39 rear... shortened torque tube to 39 top loader... 39 motor with duel carb intake... I found a deuce radiator at a swap meet here in town that should cool it down... Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Looks like a great start to a nice roadster, I like that you're using original metal, keep us posted! Matt in Sacto
I have been waiting for a long time for this Christmas break... our company shuts down for the week between the Holiday's.... between all of the holiday running around I was able to sneak away to the garage for a bit to work on the roadster.... along way to go yet but here she is... nothing better than firing up the heater and building a roadster while the snow falls outside during Christmas time....

You have some good bones there sir. I assume you're running a v-8, which I think is a great idea. I applaud you for your perseverance and dedication, in the middle of the holiday season yet,great job. Can't wait to see the finished product. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
WOW where do you guys find these 32 frames?, Im struggling to find an A frame around here the snow picture reminded me scene from The Christmas Story
Haha... I was thinking the same thing when I took the picture.... good ole ralphy boy... I'm tight on space here in my garage so the body had to sit out back till I was ready... my coupe hasn't seen snow in 15 years... I had to shove it outside so I could work on the roadster... let me tell you that old girl gave a couple of god awful groans when I tried to fire her back up to go back in the garage... I felt bad shoving her out in the snow so I pushed her back in.... 50472568207__59387680-F894-408B-94B8-96605A6A29B0.JPG This chassis was just two rails when I got them.... they were sitting in a pile ready to be scrapped...

Thanks for posting your pictures. I hope it will work out that you have time to make more progress. It looks great!
