Thats my brothers early Wolsley grill shell on there just playing around..

I wanted my honey to take some pics of me making engine noises but she did'nt want any evidence of how queer I am....lol

Re: My parts list so far

Yhea I figure on the pace that I am on now I should have it done in time for my 9 year old to drive to his retirement party...lol I've been saying I'm gonna build this think for about 12 years now, but atleast I really have the ball rolling. If I can find a bank to rob and get away with it I'm set...Yhea I was kinda pumped last night when I drug everything together..I get rid of my club's gasser project that has started to grow roots in my garage on Wednesday, so I am planning a next weekend wrench session, to try to get everything in a real rough mock up stage.. I am searching like crazy for a steering box, I have an 48/9 F-6 Ford box and column but I think the ratio is gonna be way to much, plus I have an late 30's early 40's Mopar box and column, both are perfect candidates I just need to count my rotations on the F-6 box, its the same size as a F-1 but I think the ratio is just not right..I still am un-sure of wht rear I am gonna use one of the banjo's would be cool, but just think I'm gonna have a ton in one, I think I may run an S-10 rear that I have and continue to gather parts for the banjo and when its complete then go for a rear swap.Oh well enough for now I'm off to start some honey do's, gotta keep her happy...

Watch for a '39 to '48 car box. They use the same inards as the F-1 boxes. Speedway has a booklet by Vern Tardel on these boxes that will help with the rebuilding or modifing.

LRS30, thats a really nice collection of parts you have going. A bolt here and there, and pretty soon its a car.

I'm borrowing a copy from a buddy to see if I can make some of the pieces work together, the Tardels are a wealth of info..

Re: My parts list so far

If your T hood won't work out for you, try a '28-9 A hood. It's a little longer.
