Technical My 28/9 roadster build .

Well I never ha e enough time to work on my own stuff but finally have enough parts to start building . 36 lb flathead /zephyr trans /full fendered heavy chop/ my folding stanchions. Full top and side curtains .

Had this from a previous job . Put a new firewall in I got at Hershey last year .



Patch panels I put in 4 or 5 years ago


Hopefully find some doors at Hershey







Fenders and hood top I got at a local sale a few blocks away




I want the car to be a daily driver for around town use . Flathead will be mostly stock .

Looking forward to this!

 

A fella in Bullverde Texas posted pictures of shop made doors. They looked perfect. It was a few years ago but its here on the HAMB

 

yeah i could make em but not worth the time .

 

This'll be good. Watching

 

Lots of cowls out there with broken post tops. Looking forward to see how you tackle yours.

 

I bet this is gonna be stellar!! You do great work!

 

Ok. I gotta ask because nobody has! What is with all the Tom Toms on the walkthrough door? You do amazing work, a true craftsman!

 

hmmmmmm.... parts store invoices to be paid by Tom ?

 

I have new tops .

Looks like a cool project.

You have new tops for your cowl posts. Are they something you made or are they purchased? Great work.

 

Great start! Going to be watching this one. I have been watching on instagram too.

 

I have a Brookville piece I'll cut the top off then most likely make the other side unless I find a real crappy pillar at Hershey .

Thanks guys !

Any cracks in the edge of your fenders? Be interested to see how you fix them.

No the are perfect . But if I have a bead break to fix you replace the wire that's cracked then replace some of the bead as well .

Missed this when it first came up. Will be following now. I really enjoy seeing your work.

A winter front for a roadster?
The motor can warm up but how about you?
You gonna put a heater in the car for you?

 

eBay seller "crazyleeroy" sells replacement cowl post tops/windshield post mounts. No personal experience with them, but they look to be well done. Might be an alternative to cutting up an (expensive) Brookville cowl post.

I already have those they don't fit well . I bought a whole cowl as well at Hershey .

I too have a set of those bought a couple years ago. mine don't have the bar and round bungs on the back side, just a couple square nut's tacked on. made out of very thin sheet metal and fit like a saddle on a sow. another 100 dollar piece in the junk pile.

 

I'm glad to see you're finally doing a car for yourself. Looking forward to following along!

 

Thanks guys .

One pillar off the cowl I got at Hershey



Started messing with the dash will have to make a Pullmax die to reshape the dash rail

Full fendered? Dang, I just got motivated and the wife and I decided to ditch the fenders. Between this and Ryan's & Rex's tub, I may need to reconsider my '28 roadster with fenders. LOL!

 

Mainly because I don't want any hassles from the cops as I plan to drive daily .

Other pillar from the parts cowl on . Can't complain as its rust free and uncut
