$500.00 bucks dosen't get ya to far these days, but here's the parts I bought today from my buddy Ocean. Old Beet and I picked up the parts in West Seattle and had them home by noon and started the mock up and finished by 3pm. Been a busy weekend with the Swindlers poker run, then the HAMBANDY cruise and today with the parts running and mock up. Had the rear and the slicks and the flatty....so here it goes.
Hard to pass up. New spindles, tie rod ends, steering arm, nice set of headlites, Cheezy glass body from the 60s and a bunch of other stuff. Rather well built 2X3 frame. We all need a new project???.................OLDBEET
Scroadster, might have somthin to do with gettin his sac hooked on the shift linkage when he was pretend drivin!..................OLDBEET
dig the new project. You guys don't have enough going on down there? Is that your econoline? did yoiu see the 61 econo pickup on craigslist for 600 bucks?
No and no. I am putting an engine in it for someone, but I used to own it about 10 years ago, it's seen better days. The Epickup sounds like a good deal, but as you see I have alot of other good stuff to do.
just keep the cheater slicks off of it during the heavy rain. I have heard they like to create unexpected u-turns... nice project..
True. The car will get sideways with ease, even without an application of power. Nothing quite like watching oncoming traffic in the other lane through your side window.... When the "running slicks on the street" fad hit SoCal more than a few very nice cars were totaled in rainstorms and from wet spots on the road.
There had been a bad wreck, in the very spot, about an hour before we spun out. I suspect anti freeze, gas or oil left behind, as we just drove 65 miles trouble free. Put street tires on for the trip home, but still very slick roads.
oh boy fun fun another roadster build whats the wood for in the first picture are you gonna hand carve your interior pieces ha ha. jeffrey
Hemi, I was reffering to the fact K-member has a louver press now. Not your affliction for mens locker room trinkets.(that is a panel off a gym locker no?) Do I need to type a smiley face?
Hey Keith, I need some of those panels for my roadster hood sides....call me and I'll give dimensions
OK, PM me your number again as Jeremy lost the first card you gave me so I gave him the other card. And like HEMI said, with panels like shown. OOo maybe louvered interior! HAha.
You can't go wrong with $500... Scroadster, I like that. I'm gonna keep this build-up on eye for sure! --mika
Jimmy, I just may have to modify the rear section of that frame as it is allredy just sitting on the axle.
well that was how ocean wanted it.. he was going for tall.. waaay tall and was gonna run parellell leaf springs for the rear.. possible boat trailer.. or so he told me
