Projects 1928 Roadster Build on a 32' Frame

Great job

 

beautiful work

 

Damn nice !

 

You guys make it look easy. Awesome!

 

Tell us more about the bendix conversion. So you fitted F100 type internals into early backing plates? Do they still adjust as original? I see you still have to cut a slot for the lower adjusting wheel. Looks like a neat job.

Awesome looking build - great inspiration though the wheels will have a bit impact (not in a bad way, just different)
Looking forward to updates
Cheers.

 

That's going to be a killer roadster! It almost hides the ardun 3 window in the back ground, any more pics of that for us model 40 guys?

 

very nice!

 

I also did the bendix conversion on my new roadster. I can lock up all four wheels easily. I've used So Cal fake brakes in the past, these are every bit as good, but a lot cheaper.

 

Looks good. I'm glad I'm not the only one doing a late 40s style build.

 

Looks great. I like the period you chose to build the roadster. The components on the chassis are right on the money. Have a successful open house.

 

Wow! I've been watching. Time to subscribe!

 

There's been an entire thread on it here on the HAMB.

great so far, SUBSCRIBED!

 

Like it!

 

FWIW Love the look.

Stock perches and original shocks, all period correct.

To build a 28/29 on 32 frame like this, (which by the way, I like better than a pinched frame) how much do you have to chop the grill, shell and the radiator?

 

Great start....................rich

 

Any progress? Love the stance.

 

Actually I have the car up for sale. With everything going on at the ship and home I just don't have any time to move this project among. If you guys are interested check it out:

I see it had RHD 32-34 spindles in the first shots,,,

 

cool build

i highly respect People with your skills

Keep the updates comin'

 

Ya, know anyone that needs them?

 

I would love em ,,,but the logistics would out price them, they are thin on the ground here too,,,,,did the Aussie tourer sell?,,,not that i need another one but that car when in Australia inspired me to want one,,which i have had since '77,,

 

Yes I need them , the logistics don't bother me if the price is affordable. I have a bent right hand stub axle and to date haven't been able to find a replacement here.

cheers

I know you are selling the car but can you tell me what brake/clutch pedals you were using in the pictures?

 

I sent off a set of 34' pedals to Industrial Chassis and he made them into what you see. Did a great job!

 

Looks great, wish i had the money for it...

 

Anything happening with this? been a few months. I was real excited on this one... :-(

 

I believe it was sold.

 

Hopefully another HAMBer bought it and will continue the thread.
