Years ago (1977) I went to a NSRA event and put my car (1915 Ford C-Cab) in line for the safety inspection. Before it got inspected I was shown a list of required equipment which included minimum 7 inch headlights, neutral start switch, and a gear indicator on the shifter.:rolleyes: I pulled my car out of line because I had 6 inch headlights (same as the Indiana State Police back then), I didn't have a neutral start switch (didn't want one), and there was no gear indicator on my factory GM shifter (from a '66 Chevelle). At that point I figured the NSRA could go poop in a sack :p- I build my cars to suit me, not them. Those poor inspectors would have fit with this car - they wouldn't be able to find the shifter, much less a gear indicator! Ha, ha!:LOL: I love it; I gotta build one for my Deuce when I get that far...:cool:
It's DONE and ready for sum miles
Awesome, Don! A true classic '32 roadster.
Absolutely beautiful!
Had no doubts you would make it in time for the June run. Excellent job and a keeper.
Are you going to put the hood straps on like the other one? I always thought that gave
it a bunch of character. Nice Roadster!
Hood straps goin on sumtime this week Ray, also a cyclops fog light. Still have to do a paint touch up, get it registered , put the top on and try to get 3/400 miles on it before I pull out on the maiden voyage to Bowling Green KY (850 miles) a week from Tuesday. Alan Davey (Mumbles) from Australia is flyin into OKC on the 13th to ride along with me. Gonna meet most of "The Greybeards" there for our yearly reunion. Hop in the 40 and run out with me.Quote:

May consider Pueblo, don't know. Sure would like to take you up on the offer to spin the Delivery down the road to see how different it is. Have a good time.
Used 2 do Pinetop when I lived in AZ (Great show and venue), Pueblo also a great show. Will be doim LARS next year 4 sure with "The gang"Quote:

Must be gettin old, this 1 took 66 days, althought was gone for 21 and didn't work on it.
Just got back from it 1st test drive, adjust carb and set timing better, then 400 more miles in the next week and off to Bowling Green KY for it's 1st trip
Absolutely stunning car Don, and one just has to look at any of your builds to understand how the correct wheel tyre combination can make or break the overall look of a car. We have a couple of '32's down here, one is a 3 window and the other a 5 window, which the owners have chosen wide 18 or 19" rims fitted with rubber band tyres on the front and maybe 20" wide rims with the same type of tyres on the rear and sadly, makes their cars look totally wrong but I emphasize the word " Their ".
Glad it all fell in place..........enjoy the wheels off of it! You have almost two weeks to dial it all in.............should be a fun trip...............
Think I had more fun buildin this 1 than any other I've ever built Dave.Quote:

Can't believe how fast you have achieved this..

If we get stuff send over by Sea it can take 6-8 weeks..
Still a great look car. Well done.
