Hot Rods Save of the day!!(single seater)

Thanks man. My buddy bought an older guys 42-48 stash, He had a bundle of front fender trim and out of all that trim there was one good left and one good right. It was meant to be

 

I really like the stainless trim, and the contoured rear frame. But the front spring is still eating at me. All this goodness and style coming together, don't lose the flow with that booger hanging out front.

Awesome body! Great looking frame and crossmember. Go Man Go

 

Car looks awesome I love this build can't wait to see it as a finished machine but I really enjoy the detailed build thread. have dreamed of building a single seat speedster for a few years now.

 

Lovin' this build Rusty. You have some real talent.

 

Dont like the front crossmember?

 

Love the curved front of the frame. Just don't like the spring out front of the axle. It's okay on cars with frame horns, sometimes, but I think it detracts from your sleek modified. But that's just my opinion.

 

Trying to keep it short as possible. I already have a car with a quarter eliptical front susp.(want to do something different) and I want to keep this as simple as possible with the parts I have. It should look O.K. once its all put together.
Thank you for your insight. It's alway good when another set of eyes look at things

 

Went to the Tri state swap meet in Denver this weekend. Scored this Kool what I think are WW2 aircraft lap belt.
If they are not WW2 thats my story and I'm sticking to it

 

Found a real simple seat for the car today. Its a neat little jump seat that will fold forward so I can get to things in the tail section like the gas tank and I will probably hide the battery back there.

 

Got the front suspension tacked in this afternoon. I'm going to put the car in our local indoor car show as filler for the local club and its a bit of incentive to work on it.

 

Fabbed up one side of sub rail on the kick up/tail section today. Still have to do some fine tuning its a bit ruff.

 

This thing is developing some very pleasing curves...Great stuff Rusty

 

Thanks man!!! Do you think you could photo shop some Kool old school flames on this thing?

 

I could give it a whirl...I posted a sedan is that the type you were thinking? That was another thread...
I just remembered

 

I going for that old school half flame half scallop look.

 

Love the ideas coming to the surface and your resourcefullness. Chip off the ole block....tell you Pop hi

 

I did just post that sedan you were probably wondering what sedan......I see the ones you said you liked

 

I sure will Tim. Had a great weekend with pops, we went to Denver to the tri state swap meet.

 

i like the spring out front! its got some early champ car vibe

 

I'm working on it...it'll take a bit perhaps others may chime which is all good as variety is the spice so to speak..I like what I'm seeing so far...

 

NAPA used to have rad dimensions on their site.

 

Gotta find me some wheels at the right perspective...Perhaps deep deep red, maroon, burgundy rims to match the flames​

 

You have a lot of talent and patience. My best wishes with your build.

 

Yes thats Kool!!My plan is ford Monsoon maroon with cream colored or wimbdon white flames.

 

I like the front suspension too. That's how it was done! This little bullet is gonna be neato!

 

Thanks, its starting to take shape although a bit slow.

 

Got the rest of the sub rails ruffed in today. I also made this very very specialized patent pending marking tool to mark the sub rail for the final cut.

 

Heres another vision to ponder...Rusty if you have any pics of your T in the background on the same angle I could use those Tire rim combos.
