Projects '23 Ford Roadster build aka The Incredible Hulk

It only has the one door and it does clear
In fact it will blow the dust off your shoes as you get in

 

Nobody can see both sides at the same time so minor differences will never be noticed anyway!

 

The Entry of Respect...​

 

More parts came today,
to put together the last primary tube.
Cut the bend as before,
add some straight tube to the straight leg,
and a pie cut piece to connect to the starter tube
Weld them all up
And start the clean up process.

 

Hotrod Art...6 Barrel Shotguns...The Hulk that center pic says it all to me...

 

Lookin good!

 

I am liking the progression. How long til you get a "what kind of six cylinder is that?" question?

 

sweet

 

a gold one

 

Paul, I don't want to nitpick, but I line up the seams in the pipe, when adding a straight section. Good job !

 

thanks Marty,
yeah, this time I looked more at the fit than the seam,
on the straight legs anyway, not much choice when curve meets curve.

Clean up is done with rotary burr, file, sanding discs in angled die grinder, mini DA and regular DA.

 

One more, just 'cause

 

Nice work Paul. Really looks great.

 

Headers came out great! As well as the rest of your build. Looking forward to seeing more updates.

Tasty!

 

Proportions of body, frame, wheelbase came out like it was planned that way... (grin)
I was 'Ivo Crazy' when Tom's T reveled Norm's, the lines were all nice and proportional, where Norm's was all over the place. (wild, but Tom's was more 'pedigreed')
Yours has joined the ranks of careful adjustments and smooth finish, all done with genuine stuff...
Great job. Thanks for all the pics and details! Gave me some good ideas!

 

Thank you Mike, that's quite a compliment.

 

That is heading the right way !

 

going to try this again,
first attempt at posting this walk around video had very poor resolution..

 

I took this video yesterday
today watching it I see it a little differently..
part of me says: yes, this is starting to look like I am heading in the right direction.
another part says: what the hell is that?

 

Paint on the pipes, car and video look GOOD.

 

Looks like it drove off the Little Pages

 

Pipes sanded with 100 grit in the DA and wiped down with Ospho to slow down surface rust while I move on to the next phase, no paint, yet.

 

Looks good to me.

 

"The Art of Hotrod"

High Fives...have a beer and crack an ear to ear smile...I just did...

​

 

Paul,, I know this is a bit OT, but could you take a better pic of the mascot on radiator cap in the foreground? Looks like Northrop Gamma? Is it vintage or custom?

 

I'm interested too...I think it's a Gee Bee that's been on an artistic licenced adventure...mind you I could not find one minus the fancy skirted landing gear...



​

 

Big enough? @Mac the Yankee

 

Paint or something fun like white cerokote?

 

Yes, it's a toy styled after the GeeBee on a whittled steel stand in an old Model A cap. I used an epoxy putty to bond the toy to the stand and carved a little aluminum propeller that spins in the wind.​
