Odd ball hotrod

Did you put a balance tube (crossover) in system ahead of mufflers?

 

Wow John, beautiful job. I see you ended up using the stock door hinges. Any problems with them? I'm thinking about ordering them from the Filling Station for my Chevy. I finally found a windshield for it so I'm back to gathering the rest of the parts...

Hopefully in a few years it will go from this to something like you have there...

 

I finished up the hood top for the Buick, no hood sides for this car, since I don't want to hide the nailhead. I used some straps and buckles from Ace hardware to hold it all in place. So far so good at hiway speeds. The picture was taken at a cemetary show, and since the radiator shell looks kinda like a tombstone, I thought I would show this picture.

Sorry guys. I hadn't posted in awhile and didn't see the questions you asked. No I didn't use across over tube YET, meaning I still might this winter on some update projects. I do like the original hinges and I would recomend getting some for your roadster, just build some adjustments into them for adjusting the door gaps.

 

Very cool shot John! I got to check out this ride while on vacation out in Colorado last week. It looks even better going down the road

 

Thanks Tom. It was good seeing you and your wife again. Glad you got your brake issue squared away.

 

Love the hood top!

 

I just recieved news that my buick build is on a online magazine. Check it out if you got time.

Congrats on a great article about your Buick. It was fun following you to the Sonic Cruise back in July and see how many looks it got going down the road. Next time I call "shotgun"!
