Hot Rods Youngsters av8 roadster build

So im finally startet a build threat on my newly bought roadster. Its only my second build so i have a very small experiance of building cars.

Sorry for my bad English, im a swede.

Had some trouble loading pics, i will try upload my progress later but heres the roadster

 

Good start!
Your English is about 200 times better than my Swedish.

 

Swede Swede Swede.... I always loved that chant in Heart Break Ridge....

Looks like a great car.... I hope you post pics of the progress and changes you make...

 

Ya of course. Youst got some preblems loading up pictures with the droid app

 

cool roadster

 

Took the roadster apart and sent the frame to sandblasting. Seems like a squirrel or some nut eating creature has once lived in the gasoline tank, its filled with nutshells. Pretty funny

 

Scored some new 39 brakes on a model a axle, now i just need a 39 axle to put them on

 

The model A axel works fine!

 

That looks like a great foundation to start a hot rod build on. We'll be watching!

 

I think those tires are going to need spacers

 

Great build, tell us more about the roadster, where did you find it? Model A's must be pretty rare in Sweden...good luck on the build, I will be following this.

 

Haha

 

Thanks, ya real model a roadsters are pretty rare in sweden. I Braught it from a guy who took it in from florida.

 

That's a great start for a hot rod! Will be following this build!

 

I love the size of the Swedish garage.....roomy

 

But cold as hell on the winter

 

Got the frame back and started some rust repair and found a really nice 39- rear axle.

That is one of the worst A frames I have ever seen. Are you going to try and save it? They are so plentiful here in the States that would get scrapped.

Its pretty bad but its saveable . there arent so many here in sweden sadly

Looks like a fun project. Good luck!

Looks like a pretty good foundation for a nice build.Sorta looks like a swarm of "steel eating fuzworts" got a hold of the frame.Good looking repair work there though.
Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.

Painted the frame with some epoxi primer today

 

Installed the banger and got everything painted black. Every chassie part need to be original when i registrate the car but after i got it registrated i will put a flatty in it and rebuild the chassie
