Finally got my 32 roadster finished

Thanks, I don't have any photos with the car completed with the top but I do have these.

 

I spent quite a bit of time checking out many of the details on the car at Pleasanton.
Very well done!

 

Saw the car at bonneville speed week. Was at the golden nugget car show. Beautiful ! Perfect paint ! Dug the hood louvers. Could not beleive my eyes when i saw some snot nosed kid hanging off the side of it !?! That even pissed me off ! Had our car there that night.

 

all i can say is wow ...

 

Thanks, the floor is 3/4" x 2" poplar glued together and planed down to 5/8". this is over a flat floor with a 3/4" tube sub structure.

 

Just a little, we have actually built several traditional cars but most of the owners just drive the wheels off them and are not interested in any trophies or magazine features. I have enjoyed the A pickup for several years as a daily driver. It use to belong to a fellow hamber, Rick Bales from St. Charles MO.

 

Pure Hot Rod !!

 

Caught up to it at Pleasanton....... you nailed it.

Terry

 

wow.

 

Thanks, I appreciate all of your help.

 

Great to see you on here Alan. The roadster is beautiful. It was worth my trip to Louisville all by itself.

Spoke to one of your metal men at GG Nashville at our hotel. Can't remember his name but was a super nice guy. Great family. It's nice to see down-to-earth "big time" builders.

Don't be a stranger here.

Wow man. Super nice ride. Congrats!

 

Thanks for posting more pictures, I love to see roadster with the top on....Very Kool!!

 

Very clean!

 

Anyone else notice the curved windshield? I remember that detail on one of Krylon32's cars, also...

 

perfect ride

 

Wow. That roadster has some truly classic lines. I love everything about it.

You do good work. Keep it up. ;]

 

Thanks and I plan on driving it. I have only had one hot rod that required a trailer, because it was 13.1 compression. The trailer was for anything further than a tank of fuel and 10 gallons of extra race fuel in the trunk could get me.

 

Hey Alan great looking roadster....saw it at the Concourso Italiano in Monterey a couple of weeks ago but couldn't find you or Bob. Finally found Bob at the RM auctions on Friday & Saturday night.....this is Chris (x-Toyo Tires) if you don't recognize the car in the post....again great car.

 

that is one sweet 32 !!

 

Damn! That's got some attitude sitting still. Good to see it finished, the TRJ feature is always a teaser to the end result. And what a result!!! Well done.

 

I saw that thing in TRJ and I couldn't wait to see it finished. Even if its only on a computer screen its still pretty frickin cool from here. Great job.

 

Alan

Havent had the pleasure to see it in person finished yet but when I saw it at your shop in bare metal I can tell you guys its a real jaw dropper. I have personally ridden in a Hot Rod (33 5 window)to California and back that Alan built for a friend and I tell you what that thing rode and drove excellent. Alan and his crew builds a true show and go Hot Rod and heavy on the go part. Keep up the good work. Rick

 

Thanks, I spent a lot of time checking out your car, absolutely crazy, lots of details and unique items.

 

ThanksChris, sorry I missed you out there.

 

Thanks Rick, are you going to the Shades?

 

The stance is just right and that hood is the SHIZZ !!! >>>>.

 

I'm with PaintCan. Like that laid-back screen! You built 1 sweet, clean machine!!!

 

Admired it at Bonneville, and then got to see it again a few days later, getting a good response amongst the Italian exotica at Concorso Italiano in Monterey.....

 

super terrific!

but are they ever truely finished?
