It's gotta feel great being this close to done. What an amazing build. Looks killer,sounds killer. No more calls,we have a winner !
The wheels came back on Saturday, so I got them on the car and set it back down on the ground. The column tube, drop, shifter and steering wheel came back Saturday too. After installing those parts, I worked on a bunch of small detail parts - throttle rod linkage, and choke rod. Today, I seated all of the hinge pins and hung the decklid. After that, I fired the car up, and drove it out of the garage (first time under it's own power), so that was definitely exciting.
Don't tell me you only drove it out of the garage! You have way more self-control than I would have if I was at that point in my build. iPhone - TJJ app
Wow!!! This is anything but"just another deuce roadster". Just when I thought I was tired of '32 Fords , I think I'm a CONVERT. Beautiful work!
I'm hopelessly in love... that thing is just perfect! No other word for it! Congrats, you're doing an amazing work! Cheers, Eddie
Cory, you have raised the level of what is a super nice roadster! If I parked next to you my car would need a cover over it. Super job, Bob
got this video from Swander this AM... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_Nv8B4XEto&feature=youtu.be what size are the tires?
A quick update.... I assembled the hood hardware to the hood sides with some smooth head machine screws. After that, I got the hinge rods installed and hung the hood. Surprisingly, it fit great on the first try. The guy that painted the car came by tonight and glazed the car also. It's coming together nicely.....just need to finish the tonneau cover that'll be on the car for Detroit Autorama.
