New guy, hows my ride?
Heres a few shots of my latest rod. It started as a gas tank and cowl to a 28 roadster. I built the rest . This car was built entirely in my garage, and cost me about $5,000.
I love the site and look forward to surfing it often.

That's a great looking roadster Jim. How long did it take to build? Could you post a picture of that third brake light? It looks like a 39 Chevy tailight housing with a 59 Caddy lens.

Al, I think I've seen a picture of this car someplace recently, something familiar about it. I think what we're seeing is the left tail light, so there'd be a right to match. If I remember the leg attaches to the side of the frame rail. Could be a '37 Ford housing too, I think they're less "pointy" than the Chev's.
Hopefully the owner will come back and show us more. Pretty cool.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

Yea it was on ebay. i just sold it last week to a guy that found me on ebay.
The tail lights are from a 37 ford, and the headlites were from a 39 chevy. on my website , www.jimsibley.com there are a bunch of pics of the build up in projects.
Check out my most recent project on there too. Its a 31 pickup that me and a friend built for $3000.00

Absolutely nothing wrong with being a gazillionaire, Diamond. Just real good to see people building their own stuff, with their own talents and abilities. Only rich people I dislike are those who flaunt their money, and think I should be impressed by it. Quality impresses me, especially someone building a quality ride like this roadster. Cookie cutter billet-laden cars don't impress me near as much as hard work and attention to detail. I guess I must be a bonafide geezer, I remember when friends got together and helped each other build their cars, not just pay the builder and the detail shop to have a show winner. Extremely sorry if I offended anyone, it was certainly not my purpose.Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!
