Its finally a roller

Thanks to Metalshapes and Nimrod for the inspiration. it rolled out of the garage for the first time on its own wheels. Lots a work left to do yet but its getting there. Thanks to the Hamb for keeping me motivated.

note the before and after pictures. It took about a year to get it here.

 

lookin great !

 

I like the "late model" seat..lol

is that a "traditional" headrest?

 

you noticed that? lol thats is so i have some place to sit while I pretend to drive it around for now. I even hold my race car steering wheel.

When its done they won't be in the car, no worries.

 

cool..lol

I have an '03 Rocket so that caught my eye..car is looking good,always a good feeling when they see the light of day for the first time.

 

Nice to see it coming together. Looks like someone has a nice Mustang GT too!

 

Thanks for the kind words i was worried about posting. I thought it was to much of a POS to put on the board.

Yeah the mustang is my 5 year old sons. My 3 year old daughter has the Barbie jeep trying to get them started young.

 

Looks good, man...

 

I like it - looks like a fun start.

 

wow tom that hot rod looks great

 

08racer,

Looks awesome, seeing your project keeps me motivated aswell, keep it up... eventually we will be driving them and all the hard work will be worth it. Oh Yeah!!!

Thanks again. Alex, Iam going to have to "form" the rear radius rods. I need to get them out from under the frame.

Brady you do anything with that roadster yet?

 

I really like the work around the windshield. That's nice!! Mike

 

Thanks Mike! Not real sure how it will end up but i have some ideas.

 

nope, tom. still working on the 32 5w.

 

Brady, If I run into some money you'll be the first one I call. he he

 

update pic's

This thing is slow going but its getting there. Working on it with my 6 year old boy and 3 year old girl. Trying to keep it a family project.

 

looks good tom

 

Thanks Brady!

 

That's going to be a sweet ride my man! Slow is Steady and Steady is Fast!

 

Nice start.

 

Looks good!! You certainly picked a couple of cool cars to draw inspiration from.

What are you doing to strengthen the rear radius rods? Or do you have upper bars as sort of a 4-link?

Not to be a dick cuz it's a cool car, but too bad it's a coupster

Congratulations it looks really good . I am not sure what’s better the first time my car rolled or finally getting to wash the floor

 

Anyone can build a roadster .its a lot more work to get a copester to look good

 

I guess that depends on what you're idea of 'good' is...

08racer, you're doing a bang-up job. Easily one of the best looking 'coupsters' out there.

 

Hay asshole I didn’t ask your opinion about my car .

 

Thanks Guys! I am working real hard at making it close to roadster dimensions. (to get the look right)

Malcolm - Steve at Industrial Chassis did a bushing on the radius rod to let it flex a little going up curbs and what not. If that does not work out then Iam going to go the NIMROD route and 4 link it. (I am already thinking my next car will be a clone of that one anyways only with the 331 hemi.)
