Projects Something from nothing. 29 roadster build

I had an "oh yeah" moment the other day, went into the rafters of the hideout and found this. I need the wheelwell part wicked bad, mine is roached. I forgot I even had this

 

I put some time in after work today. Passenger quarter needs some tlc. I am using patches and pieces from two other cars

 

Outstanding! I freaking love it!

 

LOOKIN GOOD!

 

This pic puts a big smile on my face. Thanks!

 

Hey, thanx guys. . . We are in the northeast, I'd rather make it when I can. We will see how it comes out. Hopefully I can get some more done this w/end. Happy Thanksgiving!

 

man I LOVE stuff like this! This gives me hope!

 

Looks like the Partridge Family bus

 

Ronnie, you've got to remember the correct ratio:
For every linear foot of car body, there must be a MINIMUM of 3 pieces of sheetmetal from as many different sources as possible. ( yes, sometimes even "Tam's") .

Also a large collection of clamps, hammers, dollies, rope, come-a-longs, porta-powers, 2x4's, ETC.)

All kidding aside, I think you're doing a great job!! (I was there today).

 

Looking good man, looks like it sits just right

 

Just read your thread. Great job. As others have said, it gives inspiration to those of us with a similar plan & budget.

 

Great job Ronnie!

It is inspirational, but also reminds me of just how poorly I am doing. Every piece of vintage sheet metal is like gold to people around here!
Finding the back half of a 27 Roadster has become a challenge.

 

I got quite a bit done the last couple days. Pass quarter, brace, and unforseen rust repair at the top

 

I welded the b pillar foot and attached the panel above the trunk. I then took some advice from a couple pals-Mike Bowling and Onekoolkat- I put an x brace in. Holy crap! It is stiff as a crank now!

 

Holy Crap!! You've got you a ROADSTER, Brother!!
Looks the BALLS ( or TITS, or Cat's Ass- whatever blows your skirt up!)
Most Excellent.

 

Or as you folks Downeast say - Pissah!

I am liking it.....Keep it going

 

Nice nice nice!!!!! Love it.

 

Nothing wrong with that repair! Carry on.

 

Looking good!

 

I couldn't wait to post: Northeast Precision Welding in upstate New York cut and re-splined my driveshaft, shortened my torque tube. The craftsmanship is second to none. Looks like a machine welded it! I will fit it when I get home and post pics

 

Awesomeness!
