Highley Deuce 5 window build

Special thanks to Jack and Drew Strunk!

 

Most of everything I have came from the same barn. It had been in a major flood years ago. Everything had been under several feet of water and mud.

 

Is it just me? I can only see the first few pics. None of the recent updates pop up.

 

You should name this one "jigsaw"

 

Is anyone else having trouble seeing the pics? I can see them, but I want to make sure I am not doing something wrong.

 

Wow!!!! Awesome progress in just a couple days. Stoked for you.

 

Yeah! This is going to rule!

 

Yea, but Calvacade is only 34 days away!!

 

It is going to take some serious work, but my plan is to have this ready for Cincinnati Calvacade of Customs Jan 11-13. Chop done and hopefully most of all the metal work. Rolling chassis with motor and trans in. Going to be a few late nights between now and then.

 

Decklid is on and opens and closes. Got both doors swinging and latched.

 

So awesome!!!!! Man you're really inspiring me to get cracking.

Question, If I am using roadster quarters out back on mine, do you think I will have to modify a set of brookville roadster subrails or will they work? I was actually gonna order a set of 5w's from UAPAC but not if I have to modify them to work with the roadster back half.

 

The roadster subrails need very little to make right and are a lot cheaper than UAPAC 5W. Although they are very nice.

You will need to modify the roadster subrails where the a pillar and b pillar come down and meet the subrails. It doesn't take much. Also inside the door opening is a little different. I will get some better pictures of what I am talking about this weekend and upload them.

 

Looks like some good parts, seems to be going together quickly !!!

 

kinda looks like a sport coupe!!! i think there is one already in cincy!!!!

 

Looking good Josh. Keep it up

Cool project! 5winders are the best!!

 

Are you kidding me???? If I had an extra set of doors, I would build a mordor. Coupes are overrated!

 

Great project Josh! You're kickin BUTT!

 

It looks great so far I am building a 32 also those sub rails they are real nice and how much did you pay for them. I was planning of making my own bcouse i dont have 1600.00$ for a set. the rails you have seems like money well spent send me a PM if you have time please. thanks gbones

 

Here are a couple pics of where the roadster subrails are a little different. I shortened the b pillars a little. They were cut on already. I trimmed the subrails where the cowl meets it. The bead under the door is a little short since a roadster door is shorter than a 5W. I will have to add a little piece in there. As of right now it is all just crudely tacked in place. Once I know 100 percent it is all in the right place I will clean everything up and make it "flow" better.

 

Very cool --- Looking forward to watching this progress!

The top is on! It is going to be a little tough lining it all back up and making the top of the bead nice and crisp when it is all said and done.
