Hot Rods Rocket '34 3 window. Now a Vicky

Thanks Johnboy ,It's a '56, here it is in it's previous life.

 

Louvers cut out of the back of an old BBQ for the rear panel.

 

Ain't no BBQs safe now.
This is coming along nicely. Summers just about here, hope you get to put some miles on it.

 

Yes Jeff still a bit to go, but getting there.

 

Haha even avgas calls you uncle Charlie

 

Oh thank god...... The new wheel combo and good look killer!!!!!

 

I was only fooling around Pete .

 

any updates sir?
Cheers,
Drewfus

 

No Drewfus, not a lot has changed. Still playing with the body which will be coming of soon to finish the chassis plumbing etc. Will post more pics soon.

 

Thought I would give a quick update. Car hasn't changed much , other than fitting the wind out windscreen wh ich took about 4 weeks to get right. Here is a cool pick my son in law Chad took.

 

Check out the back of older stove/ovens for louvered panels also.

 

Any updates?

 

Been a bit slow, should have some update pics in a week or two. Cheers.

 

Thanks, looking forward to seeing the progress.

 

A quick update, Wind out windscreen sorted, Dash sorted.

 

The 303 Rocket in place.

 

Been awhile since I have posted , so here is a quick update. Tail shaft done brake plumbing done new tires. Just a little body work to finish & we are getting close.

 

Looking great...

Looks great Charlie,might have to come down soon and go for a run!..

 

Hi , cool build!
Where did you get the chrome wheels from?
Micky

 

They are not chrome Micky, they are painted silver with a stainless trim ring.

 

Like the art deco style on these- nice touch

 

Anyone mention to you that this rear set up will not hold up to the torque from the rocket. The rear radius rods will fail. Without the torque tube in place all the axle wrap is being held by the radius rods. OG ford axles with open driveshaft were parallel spring for a reason. Please do some research on this matter. Would hate to see you injure yourself or someone else.

 

In all honesty, I have early Ford gearbox & rear end with keyways I think the bones are the least of my problems.

 

Been a bit slack, haven't updated for a while. Hope to have it done for the Boogaloo Invitational in 3 weeks. Body back on for the last time.
