Lets see if I can build a roadster body!

And the award for making it look stupid easy goes to............................................................................


You sir!

 

Thanks!

Some pics from this morning










I have started the body structure using my black roadster as a guide I will then be able to trim and finish the panels.

 

Very cool,my hats off to you.

 

I really dig the upper panel above the trunk!!! Nice job Jimmy!!!

 

Excellent......great to see you're progress, and making the most of what you've got.

Learning from the black one should make this a really great package, and a credit to you.

Haven't forgotten my goal to visit, I just need to make a date, however these photo's tell me its been a good thing I've been so slack.

Cheers, and keep swinging at it,

Drewfus

 

It's looking really good Jimmy, you're obviously making the most of your time.

 

it looks like you have taken the concept of making parts using wood forms to a whole new level. looking forward to updates.

 

aluminium? aluminum?

 

Jimmy,That body is just coming out perfect ! Bet you sell a bunch !

Dave

 

Started on the body structure....

 

That is slick. And you are sure going to have guys guessing what that body was to originally.

 

Your talent is amazing & inspiring, very nice work...

 

Started ridding the body of surface rust. Wet, humid Sub-Tropical climate is a bastard when it comes to bare metal.






I will have a better update in a couple of days.

 

Damn this is cool. How big is the '25 Chevy body compared to a '26-'27 Ford?

-Dave

 

Chevies are about the same, I just whipped this up for a comparison


and a T roadster dimensions I saved off the HAMB a while back

 

So it would appear the answer is a resounding yes you can build a roadster body...

Nice work Jimmy sure looks good.

 

this is pretty cool! good job man

 

Great job!!

 

Any updates??

 

Hey great work your moving along quickly, bring the body down to Cooly .Will get some customers.

 

Sorry I don't, I've had the flu this past week

I want to take it to the Gold Coast swap meet at Mudgeeraba. Do you know when it is?

 

Nice job...keep this project gooing

 

Gold coast swap was on today..Rod.

 

Jimmy, you are doing it all wrong man, there was a Top Gear Special on the other night where the three of 'em built an electric car called Geoff.
Richard Hammond did the chassis, Captain Slow did the drive line and Jeremy Clarkson did the body.......... you have to see his work!!
Sleek,
Classic,
Timeless,
err................













Bloody UGLY!



Doc.

 

Bugger!

This is the one I was thinking of, I thought it was in June but is in July so I don't need to rush.

Ah FUCK!!!!!! I had forgot all about that ......................... I think I am going to spew ........................ shit, too late!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

that last picture looks like the results of an armored car that humped a catering truck and that was the baby ugh , excellant job on the roadster body build , lots of patience and metal working ability
