Hot Rods Roadster build.

?

 

See if there are serial numbers stamped in the upper pad.

 

No numbers.
Fitting some pads under the sub frame to spread the load. I can mount the back half of my body now that I've located my rear. Lol

 

Opinions please. Structurally it is in a great spot.

 

everything want to occupy the same spot. I dont mind , easy to brace

 

You talkin ta me?, are you talkin ta me?, there’s nobody else here so you must be talkin ta me.

Moved it back
.25 looks better

 

he looks apprehensive because he has his shock collar on. the ONLY time he does what he is told.

 

high five

 

Pat on the back.

 

Get your cowl post tops here.

 

Found the roots of all the trouble. Warped door and twisted foot on the a pillar. Tweaked itwith a weld on handle

 

Looking good @bct it ain’t easy to get to this point

 

I hope 1/4" is enough for speedway roadster latches.

 

Bit of work on my firewall.

 

little by little.

sheet metal fun with my kid.

 

Im glad i made this firewall before locking it down to subframe. It pushes the cowl band flange outward. This is good but it may have an affect on the A pillar. Easy to modify now. I better get my dashboard in soon too.

 

I like your build.

 

Thanks neighbour. Hope you are enjoying the mild winter too.

 

Made a frame table of sorts . Level and square now .

 

Bob drake 32 engine support brackets replaced the tardel mounts . Unfortunately the box is touching the manifold .

 

How close is the lower radiator hose going to be to the bolt and the outside of the mount ?

 

I have to lengthen mount bolts by half inch and use a thick .375 spacer at the bottom to lift the engine at least a .25 . Its not as bad as it looks in picture. The crossmember is actually more in the way .

 

I remember having to grind the top edge of those '32 mounts for fan belt clearance; how does yours look?

 

I will too . Also a bit of work on the front cross for pulley clearance

 

Screwed up the old panel twice trying to flange above gas tank . Too straight first time to much curve the second . Spent a long time filling taillight holes for nothing. Made a new panel . Deck lid has never fit so well.

 

Mounted gas tank and rear shocks too . Modified front 1932 engine mounts by lengthening bolts and spacing mounts half inch up .

 

Nice to see you kept the '32 tank.

Bob

 

I would really like to buy a pair of the cowl post tops from you. Building a 29 RPU from a pile of scrap parts. Converting a closed car cowl to roadster, have all the pieces now, but the cowl posts are missing the tops. Thanks!
