Hey Nick. Welcome aboard. Great looking car, but in the second picture did you plan on using the Stihl leaf blower as a supercharger?

Good one, 34_40! Since I have a soft spot for "leaf blowers" don't think it's not brewing in my brain to add a couple to my hot rod. I just don't see much done with turbos on hot rods, I guess since they're a more modern development. (?) Obviously other blowers (superchargers) are very well accepted in the hot rod world.

But back on the "deuce" theme, I could say "Good two, 34_40!".

I'm alluding to the fact that my other "fun car" has two leaf blowers aka GT2860RS turbos and as much as I think Stihl makes great stuff these are made by Garrett. And it's a very nice looking motor if I do say so myself, and with two turbos I can even sort of consider it a "deuce" of sorts But I won't pollute this thread or site by posting a pic of something that off topic but here's a link to my other "deuce" toy motor: http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...mymotorVsm.jpg

Aw missed the word play angle ...



not hijacking the thread:

30_40 I have heard guys that live up north or are building use those leaf blowers for garage cruising. They will fire up the old leaf blower, point it in the window and make hotrod noises sitting behind the wheel.

Hot Rod Nick,,,,that's an AWESOME looking Rod!!!
I personally like the look of a "Hot Rod" so that's why i made Mine look like this.
I love all types of '32's as well!!

Nice car, Nick. I much prefer the look our your car with the hood sides, but that just reflects my own personal taste in deuces. Do what you want so it suits your own taste.

Hey guys, I'm gonna be a contradiction of myself now, Nick, and this just my humble opinion, your Roadster is amazing without the zoomies and with the bonnet and side panels fitted. I'm not a fan of moon tanks either but, hey, it is your car. Then colour,wheel and tyre choice is perfect.
Moter, your Roadster is absolutely stunning and it just screams " Hot Rod " to me, you have certainly nailed the look to perfection sir.

Thank You Whiplash!

Thank you and yes..Washington blue with Tacoma creme wheels that are 16 inch. I also have a set of 15 inch, painted blue with Hurst cheater slicks and super cushion bias on the front. He did a double pinner stripe on the front and a triple on the rear.
