Projects survivor old hot rod Little yellow roadster

Nice find... goes to show ya they are still out there......

 

miles of smiles

 

I'm lovin it, it doesn't get much cooler than that!!!

 

Pete: That is a '33 body and quite possibly a cabriolet (like mine). I say that for two reasons. A: no hood rest notch on firewall/33 hood latch on lower cowl and the dash has NO hole for a windshield crankout mechanism. Checkout the pics of mine (a thread in my stats) they will give you hope!!!! Its a really cool looking car. Try lifting the upholstery off the back of the body to see if it has a top opening or a nasty cut from the coupster epidemic. Let me know if I can help you with anything. Tim.

 

Saw this on Bob's facebook and figured it would end up here sooner or later.

 

WOW ,I think its frigging awesome..good luck with it
love the yellow..!!!!!

 

Love it. Looks like you are thinking cycle fenders, cool. Love the welded/filled doors, that just screams fifties. X2 on the yellow, I dont know if you are planning to run with that, but it would look great. This is gonna be killer.

 

Bitchin roadster. I will be watching this. It reminds me of a Aussie rodding icon, the Darryl Harvey roadster, built in the 50s and stored in the early mid 60s.

3 pics I took at 2005 SRN.

man, thats bitchin...

 

The best modification you could make to that great piece is flatten the top of the windshield by getting another frame and lengthening the straight part of the top frame and 45 cutting the vertical sides and welding them together.

 

Good weekend brake and clutch pedals are in
old chrome master cylinders mounted on the firewll also my steering is mocked up!

Sweet!

 

What a cool old rod!

I'm guessing you're going to keep it yellow??

 

yes I plan on running cycle fenders it looks great

I was looking under the upholstery and it looks like it was just cut, im pretty certain its a 5w who ever built the car back in the day did some cool stuff the A pillers are made of solid round stock then shaped to fit the curve of the windshield ill try and post some better pictures

Yes planning on keeping the old yellow paint and running it like it is

 

Been at it pretty good this week Bob set me up with some cool chrome wishbones and spring I had to repair them and weld new ends on

Finished that up and started mocking up the front end that I will be using

Also Tonight I squared up the body to the frame and made mounts

 

What a cool little authentic car!

When you get done with it, I'm die'n to see what u guys can do with a phaeton!

I bought the car from a friend in North Carolina



I have this 32 shell that I got off the hamb its really cool has an old custom insert its on its way ....but here is a picture

So excited about seeing this car on the road. You guys really seen the potential. I know it sat in Skeeter's shop with most people thinking "what a pile" but I knew you dudes would treat it right!!! Amazing what the right wheels, tires and stance will do to a car!
