I've always wanted to build a roadster so I finally broke down and started one. I found a model a cowl and rear piece on craigslist, built a 2x4 1/8 wall frame and now I'm gathering the rest. The front axle is off a 33 dodge, its set up for Vega steering but I am going to to cowl steering, the engine is a 81a flatty that will be punched out to 239ci. Still looking for rear end and transmission but here's everything all piled together to look like a car.
Let me know what you think
What I started with
The frame the front z has been changed since
Test fit the flatty length, why the zd front changed
Test fit block with front axle
Found some 16x4 artillery wheels for $20 each. I think they're off a desoto 5x4.5 bolts
Looks like it will fit
I laid the windshield back about 4in at the top not sure if I wanna chop it yet. That's a roof vent off a postal jeep for my cowl vent
More to come I'll keep this updated as I go
