Technical Retro Rides by Rich Does A Survivor...

I'm super stoked I got to see this car in person AS WELL AS meet Rich! Car is amazing and was great to finally meet sir Rich in the flesh!

 

Thanks Gas Pumper...

Scott, the pleasure was all mine!

 

Car was perfect.....I mean perfect!!! You did an outstanding job on that thing Rich!!!! Nice seeing you again.

 

Thanks Jeffrey, great to see you too. Car is far from perfect, got some things to straighten out. But, thanks for the compliments.

 

Thanks!

 

This was fantastic read from start to finish=Job well done!

 

Thanks, but I always fail to photo document as well as most others here.

 

...too busy bustin' ass getting it done!!

 

Rich, Congrats on the completion of the survivor. Bet it is too cool to describe. Also that it will probably run like a scared cat !

Many congrats to Rich.

I have been lurking for a while and watched this re-build for some time…

It has inspired me and given me some direction on parts that will someday become my chassis…

Rich I hope to see a pictorial of this build added to your web site…

I lost track of all the pics I have added to my collection…

 

Thanks!

 

Wow! I wish I had seen this thread earlier, I could have saved you a lot of "detective" work. It looks like everything came together OK though. I don't remember the name of the owner after Dick Fittoff, but he was from Defiance, Ohio. Shortly after he purchased the car, he sent a picture of it to Hotrod Magazine. It was published in the "readers mail" section.
My Dad did some work on the car when Chester owned it ( the stainless firewall & wheelwell inserts). This was about 1958 but I can't tell you anything about it before that.
You did a great job! It's good to see the old roadster back on the road better than ever.

 

Hotrawd - I didn't do the research, but Howard did. He'll be interested to see this. Thanks!

 

meet howard what a great guy look forward to building one in scale
