Projects Anderegg Roadster TRIBUTE-MEMORIAL build and info, AMBR 1955

How is the aluma-kart holding up?
Car still looks great!

 

Well, after a long hiatus from actually working on the roadster, and just enjoying driving it, I've decided to tackle the upholstery. I have about 3 decent pictures of Uncle Ray's roadster that will hopefully at least get me close to the original. Huge undertaking as I'm learning as I go here and doing this all myself.


Thanks for looking in... pressing on...

 

Only 2 nice photos,show up on your post,so something messed up with the last 6 others!
I checked back,10min later,,see ya fix those pics,very nice!

Great to see you back to adding even more cool details. Too that awesome rod.
Hope a few tips from my old tech thread help a long the way; Just a link for EZ,but likely you had saved anyway! https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/tech-sew-at-home-upholsrety-hot-rod.604077/

 

More to come....

 

Gingerbread...

 

Nice little show today...

 

It really look great with the interior.

 

Great minds think alike and yesterday I took a picture of the roadster on my lunch hour and then received a photo of Uncle Ray's roadster that it's current owner took as well yesterday. After being in storage for decades the original is back on the road.

 

A few pics taken over the summer

 

Found another, after bringing home my 55 mordor.

 

Nice Hotrod...high fives @ANDEREGG TRIBUTE

 

Thanks for newer pic's of a very cool rod ,enjoy seeing your hotrod work.

A short 55 Chevy " Way Back Story!;
The first year I had close too any idea what type hotrod I was going to build on scribbled paper!.
Dad took me with him too Chevy Dealer, early 55. He was after a good deal on a new wagon,hoping for them too drop cost on still in stock 55's=The 56 were about to hit the show room ! Dad would take me too the grand shows at all the dealer ships ! To see the new designs opening days,but never got anything,just looking. But this time was before the 56 hit the market. After a few hours,he ended up buying the best looking Station Wagon I'd ever seen! They didn't have what he ask for"The cheepest botton of the line wagon"< he need it as a kind of work truck ,that Mom could also drive!, but they did have still in stock " V8 Nomad". It was awesome looking; he got it for the cost of the 6cly no extras-he ask for.!
That was also the first year I started collecting parts I could find free, off abandoned cars in the woods an left on dead end dirt roads. For my some day hotrod build,took time,but in 1959,I had put together my dream hot rod,enough to drive around the block.
By then Dad had got another new car,but at the end of model year to get the best deal,was his thing!!.

 

Any time, I see, or hear about the Anderegg roadster it reminds me of the afternoon I saw it crossing Van Ness Avenue in 1956-57 in San Francisco. The roadster was going to the local D J radio show.
