My son and I went to the recent Hot Rod Showdown here in South Texas. Really cool event and so many cool period hot rods. Hope to have the Riff Raff Roadster at the show next year.

That show just seems unreal. Little jealous you got to go!

 

Got the 1933 Pierce-Arrow dash insert chromed and looks awesome. However, the original machine turned backer now looks kind of grubby, as expected. Debating whether to let big deuce turn me a replacement, or leave it and learn to appreciate the wear and tear. Original condition is shown also.

Dash looks great! I’d leave it if it was mine?

 

Can't go wrong either way, offer still stands! I just picked up some carbide hole saws for doing stainless...

 

Normally, I would agree with Cactus, but I believe this beauty deserves all the fine details you can give her. Save the original just in case! The devil is in the details and your contribution to this build will be the difference between really nice and Wow. Keep strokin', Carp.

 

Very nice! I’ll keep you posted and thanks again for the offer.

You could make a picture frame out of the original panel, with pics of your father and the car in the gauge holes. Nice wall hanger in your office...

 

Awesome idea-did you just invent that?

I actually have an old SW patina panel that someone cut an over sized hole and ruined it, was going to do that to make use of the insert. An old 5w windshield frame to do the same with someday.

 

Any update. Haven't heard from you in awhile.

I got side tracked. My brother found and bought the long lost model a pickup my dad built back in 1973. It is amazing how it survived with very little changes. So far I have installed flotech heads, performer intake, petronix, zips riser kit and fan shroud, new rod and main bearings, rebuilt front end.....

I'm still working bugs out but it runs so much better now! The heads had 1.72 valves in one and 1.94 in the other and the exhaust valves were sunk.

 

@Dyce, nice work but did you post your update on the wrong thread?

Nice looking pickup, great looking cab. Bob

 

I should have started a new thread dedicated to the pickup. I just posted it to show what I was up to.

 

You likely see it is a 29 sedan cut down. Dad bought it that way. 3.5 inch chop, model t box, coupe rear fenders. Sharp but not very comfortable......

 

One of the bodies Ford should have made. Bob

 

Good idea, start your own build thread instead of hijacking someone else's thread!

 

Wow I thought I was on my roadster thread! Sorry for that... My mistake.

 

Sure didn't bother me, found it quite interesting , were is your Roadster thread? Bob

 

Plenty of space for us all!
Sorry for the delay-we’ve had some setbacks (our body and paint guy flaked out on us after holding the car for 4 months). He did the doors and trunk lid, but then went awol. Found a new guy this weekend and he will take around 6 weeks. More to come soon (I hope).
