About my Roadster

This is my 30 year dream,30years dreaming, 10 years building it. It is a fiberglass body from Econo Race Cars, I built the frame,the way I wanted it, on my garage floor,front end is from Speedway Motors as are the disc brakes ,on 41 spindels that I had.The engine ia 67' 283 with and Edelbrock 600 and headers,backed by an aluminum powerglide, to a Ford 8" rearend.The windshield post,frame,door hinges and radiator shell are origional model T. You wouldn't beleive how many parts were given to me. The all required some work,but sure cut the cost.I built the hood out of 18 gague, the fuel tank and trunk are Farmall Tractor.Paint is by Rat-L-Can, stripes are by T-Ape, interior by am-it-ure(me). It will get real Paint and Interior this winter, but for now it's a kick in the butt to drive. Ifinished it id April and have over 1300 miles on it.

Ya, Satin Black with real pinstripes is the Plan. I was planning on a mellow yellow, with burgandy scollups, but I have had so many comments on the way it looks now, I think I'll keep it that way.

Well done, looks great with the Moon disks.
Hope you keep the basic paint & stripe set up when
you get "real" paint, looks great.
