    You're welcome. I was at the Roadster show on Father's Day but somehow missed it - DAMN! I can't wait to see it finished. This car has the look!

    Ok so just a question but if the front brakes are hollowed out already have you thought about running the wheels straight to the axle?

    I do like the uniqueness of the front wheels but I'm on the "think it would look better without front brakes" bandwagon!
     
  4. Those Speedmasters are popular with "period correct" chopper motorcycle builders; check out the Jockey Journal.

    Are those 70's 3/4 ton chevy front brakes?
    What did you get'er up to at the flats?
    Nice helmet, I think thats a good idea. You could put a couple of old rusty horizontal stabilizer.
    Very cool...

    Wow! Haven't seen this thread for awhile!

    What's the progress on this car?? I see it's been shown quite a bit since this thread and looks like it may have gone for a spin around Bonneville maybe?
     
  15. Hell they'll last forever if its not too far from the trailer to the show spot. :rolleyes:

    Pretty neat car, a gentleman could snag some very good ideas from that build to incorporate into his next or current build.
     
  16. Hey scooter......yep we took "littleboy " to bonneville and had a great time ! 1000 hp on race fuel ! Now bonneville is the place to test the old hotrod ! 130 mph shake down pass, lots left.

    Has the car made any speed or there any videos of it running.Lets hear it:D
     
  21. Here's one more pic from the Abbotsford custom car show.
    Since it's probably not street legal, its a fairground & nostalgia drag race cruiser. Still a cool coupe though!
