Here's the '27 Roadster I've been working on. I'm trying a new picture editing program, hope this works.

In design I like symitry of line. You did a great job of spacing those tires in those fenders. Looks very nice. GPster

Great Job! Looks like it's got a bit of a nasty attitude!

Nice looking car there.  Looks to be a little extra distance between the firewall and the radiator.  What are some of the specifics on that little jewel?  Wheelbase, body, frame, engine, trans?

Tudor.....The body is a Harwood body, and the distance between the firewall and the '32 shell is 34"  Most hoods on this style Roadster are only 29 to 31".  The frame is a 2x4 tube Z'd front and rear, Engine is a 350 Chevy with a Modified 350 Trans with a 3500 Stall.  Rear is a 9" Ford with 390 Posi.  Axle was 6" drop but two oil pans suffered Life threatening penetrations, so I changed it out for a 3" axle.  The ride height image didn't change much, but the pan got 3" more road clearance.  It runs very straight under hard acceleration.  I "Found" the car sitting in a barn in Smithville Tex, last year, where it had been sitting for about 5 years.  Covered with about an inch of dust, and the Rats and mud daubers, had taken over.  I bought it without the engine or trans, and pulled the front axle out of it as soon as I got it home.  The car is an old build.  It was built in 1988, in Fla, and has been all over the U.S.  It was in the L.A. Roadster show in 1991, and Bob Bond did the graphics on while it was there....I hope this helps...

Thanks.  Nice little history with the car.  I've always liked that style, kinda pro-mod I guess.  Looks like more fun than enough especially under a heavy right foot.  Built for QUICK trips to the store.
