Roadster pickup back together.
Oh, how sweet it is! I just sat the finished body back onto the chassis, after a 6 week thrash finishing the chassis off, and assembling fenders, etcetera for the last time untill it gets blown apart for paint. I am really impressed. This is the cab section that started life as a sedan, and has been chopped, shortened, whacked, and otherwise brutalized into a roadster pickup cab. The box is a completely homebuilt (except for the tailgate). The frame is an original model A, boxed and with new crossmembers, the engine is a 1985 Pontiac Bonneville, the rearend is an S10 with homebuilt 4-links, and the front end is a 4" dropped Super Bell I-beam, with Horton 4-links. The fenders and splash aprons are fiberglass from RamRod, in Trent River, Ontario. I just added up all the money spent to date, and including the purchase price, I have $10,974 invested.Old guy hot rodder
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
