    Damn that's a cool looking roadster. Ditch the rally's and maybe swap the headlights. But definitely install one of these....

    Oh yeah, you now have a really cool place to carry your golf clubs too...

    That thing is awesome! needs some huge white walls and some 50's Buick hubcaps over the "rat rod" wheels in my opinion.

    Hey Bud, looks like you did really good! Now you have a roadster again (with more room than a bucket & a back seat), and also have a top which is needed in the hot Texas summer. Car looks outstanding in the pictures. I think you did good.

    Drive it over & let me look at it. I guess I have to give up trying to trade you out of that old Model A.

    I took my 56 to the paint shop yesterday, supposed to get it back next week

    I agree with your wife about the engine change. It needs a nailhead or 455 Buick. Some big whitewalls and Buick wires would really make it look classy. Here's a picture of a '31 Buick Model 8-86 5 passenger coupe (Victoria) that I had a few years ago.

    It's a cabriolet or convertable coupe, rosdsters have removable wind screens. Very nice car though.
     
  30. Great score! I agree it needs a nail head. Enjoy the ride!
