It would be unfortunate to have to modify or alter parts that have already been finished to a high degree, and your prep of the frame seems to be going above and beyond what I would call normal amateur prep.

Keep it up, though, you are doing good work and demonstrating excellent techniques.

Mart.
The body is together on another frame with the doors on it, the frame it is on is really really rough but it also has never been cut or welded. The deck lit was on it years ago. The hood that i have was also part of this car. Painting is the easiest parts for me, so, im going for it! Im sure i will run into something but i really want to get this done while my father is around. I want to have a drive-able car that is in finish paint. I have all the running gear ready to bring to my house and prep hopefully in a week or 2.

Mart,

Do you mean to tell me that they don't always go back together as planned? My word, I've never heard of such a thing. (Heard, perhaps not, but experienced, yes, nearly every time.)

Grill shell and hood component ready for a final cut with 500 and them topcoat unless i for whatever reason need to build it a little more. Frame is almost all iced and should be ready for final 2K priming on Sat. I have running gear that im going to be prepping for paint. I do need to straighten a couple radius rods. Pretty excited to see the seats! they are supposed to be done early next week...

So...I went hunting running gear...Everything is such a pain in the rear to get to. So i just stole the it from the 5w. The frame on this car is so perfect as far as rust goes. It does have some cuts where my dad made some mods. Remember he was a kid when he had these cars and they probably were not rare. He wanted hot rods to im sure @ one time in his life. I should have use this frame but im going to need to weld on the 5w body and the doors close and fit so nice i dont want to move it. I did take take all bits and pcs of the running gear and motor mounts. I do have everything to make another rolling chasis @ a later date. Plus, i really wanted the drop axle for the roadster. He must have added the tube shocks in the rear at some point, im not going to use those. Im still debating on the later brakes...I hope i can find enough "stuff". I found a box with about 12 pairs front spindles...Didnt see any backing plates but im sure they are somewhere....Frame is ready for final primer. Hopefully it will be in final paint in a week or so. Weather depending..

Seats are done! Girl did a really nice job and she was half the cost of everyone else! Really happy with it! Also, spent all last night sandblasting stuff. Takes forever with a baby blaster and cabinet....

Fun this to come across on Christmas morning!

NOS V8 Rad in a wooden crate that will go in this car.

A new muffler. Not sure if this is NOS or not. Box looks really old though...

You've seem to have made more progress in the month you've been posting, than I have in a year - I'm sooooooo jealous ! I envy your enthusian, energy and talent you obviously have. I've been working on mine for over 6-years, but life seems to thwart me every once in a while.

Just a caution, if you don't mind. Don't let the project become "work" or you'll wear yourself out. The destination will be wonderful to behold, but enjoy the ride, too !
