Thread: Rodman's A

Tweet

This is my first build tread in CHR, you are welcome

I bought a cowl 2008 and other parts of the body, but frame I bought a month ago because the owner has inherited it and did not want to sell it,but I did not give up so we had a deal (it took me more than two years). I received a bill of sales, but title was no longer in available. The story says that the car had sunk through the ice and then was pulled to shore in the summer, i dont know is that true or what ...

The car was originally -30 Roadster Pickup and now it will be just Roadster.

The frame will need work in the both sides and cowl is pretty good but little rust and cracked in the lower area.
