Took a break on the soon 2B Black roadster, and ran down to Louisiana and picked up this stalled project from a guy.
He had 900 test miles on it and ran outta $$$$'s
All the right parts, (GM crate 320 hp, bowtie overdrive 700r, currie 9"rear) just needs the finishing touch.
Paint, interior and wheels and tires.
Outta keep me busy for a month or so
Sad for him, good for you! The inside door panel shows a cutout ".....more Streetrods". Another one from "RussNomore Streetrods"?
Yep, Roger.
He started with a complete RussnoMore roller
Heck yes! Very nice rod!
While waitin 4 clear on the roadster to do its thing, I proceeded with sum of the cosmetics on the new 3 winder.
4 bars hacked off and new hair pins ready 2 go on, front axle and all components painted and ready to re install.
Hood fit, grille fit to shell, headlights off and moved down loooooow (where they belong)
with new fabbed brackets and a lot of mickey mouse stuff fixed.
Will stuff it back 2gether 2day tnen get to buffin the roadster
Since you're working on the chassis is this one coming off the frame, or are you doing spot repairs and leaving it lipstick red? What kind of headlight brackets did you fab? Pictures?
Gonna spot the chassis Roger, the when I shoot the body, I'll have the outer rails setup to shoot a few coats of clear over it also.
No pics of H/L brackets, just a little sumthin I designed bout 12 years ago to get em Loooooo and in.
$2 worth of metal 6 polished button head 1/4 20's and 20 minutes.
They litterally disappear once the headlight is mounted.
Here's and example what they look like mounted, on the yellow and red 1
Your going to have enough 4 bar sets to build a Jungle Jim!!! Pete
Not really Pete, Already sold both sets.Quote:

Update : Slapped sum hood sides on it and relocated the steering column, Guy punched a hole thru the fire wall too far to the right and shaft was hittin the headers.\, also was installed cockeyed.
Got no clue how he drove it for 900 miles.
Small parts painted, will blow the clear on 2 morrow.

Wow, that is going to be one bright rod. Should be able to see it coming 10 miles up the road.
