Art & Inspiration Greg Lazzerini's Roadster!!!

Please post any pics/links/info on this car- Rich Venza posted a pic of it in a thread tonight and it really struck a nerve with me!

Thanks for your help and input- Bill (Mac the Yankee)

 

Wow, thats beautiful.

 

Seen that car @ Bonneville a couple years ago. Really nice craftsmanship.

 

This is our Alviso Roadster compound @ Bonneville.....we use Greg's truck & trailer as our base.....

 

My pics:

 

Yup- I love it!

Really trying to find some good pics of how the interior is set up, under the hood, and the gas tank area.

Build pics would be a HUGE help!

 

Rick,

Do you know what the wheel base is?

 

I posted some pics of it in my Bonneville thread from 2 years ago. I'm sure others did too. Greg and that car....RULE.

 

I'll find out for you.....

 

I'm also wanting to find out more of this car. I'll be patiently waiting

Thanks guys.

Cool.Is it a race car?

 

Nope, just an ol' hot rod that he drives & treats like a red headed step-child...the boy
FLOGS that thing! (built flathead with triple carbs.....goes like stink.)

 

Holy CRAP! Yes, I want to know more too! Whats the body? Homemade? What are the hubcaps? That is killer!Subscribe

 

How long is the body from the rear pan to the cowl?

 

Thanks again guys!

I know someone had "evening" pictures of it at a hotel during Bonneville, but haven't been able to find them yet.

 

very cool

 

Here you go Mac. I took these at Paso Maria in '08.
Excuse my poor photography skills!

 

Thanks for starting this thread Mac. I've been takling with Greg on Facebook for a couple days, but he's a very busy guy and hasn't been able to give me much info.
He did say that it was built in the 50's as a sports racer ala Old Yeller, and he has run it at Laguna Seca. As can be seen in one of the photos above it has a tube steel frame which would be pretty advanced for a 50's built hot rod, but not for a dedicated racer. Flathead power of course, and all Ford running gear.

I, and a bunch of others here, sure would like to see the chassis sans body work. It looks to be to have a '29 Murray cowl and just a bit of a '29 roadster rear trunk/quarters.
The knock off caps seem to be the reproduction Veda Orr units.

 

Thanks Rich, yes, I was figuring the 1/4s were Model A, but didnt catch the cowl.The more pics I see of this car, the more I like. One of the trickest cars I have seen.

 

LOVE the cockpit details. What a knockout.

 

Anyone have an engine shot?

 

I too just let Greg know about this post and he said to look into more info in Rod and Kulture...all the info I have at this point..I know he drives it hard

 

Great car!

I have a couple crappy shots from Bonneville Speed Week 2009...

man, the more you look the more you see. Love the sunken panel in the hood with the beads around the carb openings.

 

Which issue? Upcoming article?

 

Wheel base is approximately 103"......

 

thats all greg gave me....

 

Rich, Rick and everyone,

Thanks again for the pics and info- this thing has been gnawing at my subconscious sine I first saw pics of it in 2008, but it wasn't until last night when I saw Rich's post in another thread that it really got to me...

Let's just say that I'm getting some really good, "bad ideas"
