That looks like a lot of fun and a great start to a rod.I would ditch the plastic motor though

Hey Gasman,
Yeh it's another roadster to sell, I made a boot skin and first part of one rear quarter at the metal meet. The frame was a bit rustier than I thought so i've been tearing that apart and set it up on the jig today. I will post some pictures soon.
Cheers Steve.

Does he still have that bed?

Hey Guy's,
Unfortunatly the grill shell is fibreglass, as are the doors. It's a standard model and i didn't get the bed as i'm making another roadster. I've made a start on her, knocked out what seemed like a thousand rivits in the frame to repair the rust. There was a bit more than i expected but that seems to be normal with 80 plus year old cars?
Here is the frame set in the jig with some of the boxing plates tacked in.

Boot skin roughed out, might need fine tuning.

Boot frame started.

First rear quarter section.

Cheers Steve

Hey Guys,
I haven't had much time to work on my own stuff this month, I've been working for a mate for what was suppose to be a month but it look's like it will be another 3-4 weeks. But it's Ekka day today so I started on the right rear quarter. I made the main panel and the boot edge panel, I just need to make the filler to bridge the gap.

Cheers Steve
