31 Speedster
Several months I tried to sale my 31 speedster I've been working on when I had time, well I am glad it didn't sale I just completed the staining and clear coat on the wood body. It has put me in a different frame of mine about completing it. Just ordered up $800.00 + in parts from Snyders.

Re: 31 Speedster
Super Sharp! Is there a luggage area in the back? Or gas tank? Or both?

Re: 31 Speedster
Yes the motor that came in the frame only needed to have all the gasket, nuts & bolts replaced.

Re: 31 Speedster
nice work on your Speedster. Here are pictures of the Speedster I am building. It has a "B" motor with Miller overhead, fuel pump, full oil pressure, dual downdrafts and alternator. Body has adjustable drivers seat, bucket seats and rumble seat. Wood is Red Cedar that I cut and had milled. Fiber glassed the body after a lot of sanding. The steering wheel is one I made. I could never find an original from 1930. I ended up making 10 of these steering wheels, four for my cars and six for other guys. Biggest problem was the windshield. I fitted the glass too tight and it cracked in three places when the wood shrunk.
