Drove the 32 yeasterday for the first time....

Well I have made some progress on the roadster, got to drive it yesterday for the first time. Been working weekends for the last month and its paid off, still alot of little things to do but boy Im walkin on air.

First pic was about the end of Febuary, and the second today...

 

Congrats man,It's a great feeling,aint it.

 

Looks good.........and I'm jealous! I take it things went well, did all the basics behave, cooling, brakes, etc. ?

 

big block chivy too

 

its real nice the first time but of course they are never really done but still it sure is a nice feeling

 

Congrats, I know how you feel. Warm weather right around the corner.

 

I wanted to build a 32 since the Limefire roadster came out in Hot Rod, my taste has changed abit but the feeling was still there. I have built 2 28-29 {my avatar is my old roadster} and 1 T Bucket............everything cooperated suprisingly well still some issues with the big block but that will come.......Thanks for the comments.

Hey roadsterpilot,
Nice lookin' roadster- I'm envious!
Enjoy that hot rod !

 

Nice looking roadster! Congrats on the first drive, I know exactly how you feel!

 

Aaaaahhhh.... That roadster feeling.

 

Ive made some progress drove about 25 miles today, it just dont get no better....

 

lookin great! congrats!

 

I saw the old crow run last year at Bonneville.. I took alot of pix of your sweet belly..

 

congrats man..

 

Nothing better !!

 

looks great

 

That's great that all your labor can now be driven. I also drove my '27 track T for the first time yesterday, and it is a great feeling.

 

I can vividly remember that 'first time', sitting on a milk crate, made it all the way to the corner gas station, open headers, BIG SMILE, exhaust burning my eyes, filled the tank & returned to my house, where my wife was waiting with hands on hips mutering something over the loud exhaust noise!!!!!----That was 1963, at present time odometer(s) combined read 300,000 miles, me & my 32 roadster are both 75 last yr., but still love chasing those lines, smiling all the way!!!!----Good luck in your 32 roadster adventure-----Don

 

Congratulations, I cant wait to get my first drive, Sadly I cant see the end for my roadster at the moment

 

Congrats man - zapp69 I know just how you feel....

 

Well done,each is a lesson in perseverance;they don,t come easy.You sticking with the wheels you got or is there flash waiting in the wings with a spray job?

 

Can't beat that first drive, but nothing says you can't keep trying to top it. Super looking car and I really dig the big block. There's one going in my 5w that's been planned for over 30 years. To hell with the gas prices, full steam ahead.

No spray job in the future, I have a set a Halibrands I may put on later, but for now the steelies are stayin, (easier to cleanup)...heres a couple more pics and thanks for all the comments. RP

 

Sure worth the wait, huh??? Looks real nice...
