Sum,, The 36 Roadster is my pride and joy.. It took 14 months non stop to get it done.  It was finished October of 2007... I just took it out for a spin today and fill up with premium (3.39 a gal here) and my odometer just clicked 500 miles.

The car has more than a few little custom tricks. 

If you get Street Rod Builder (Buckaroo Publications)  My car is in a 5 page feature layout in the upcoming May 2008 Issue  due out in April.
They would not tell me if it made the cover ( I am sure it did not)

How do you like the Yellow with Blue ?  My friends thought I was crazy when I picked out the blue top and blue leather for the interior.

She is wicked fast.. 383 Stroker with 500HP and 497ft lb torque.  Built 700R4 with 389 Ford 9" posi out back.

Todd,, wow cool car... how fast does it run?

It's a cover car for sure and I love the colors.  Hope I get to see it  .  I like the fact that you put some HP in it.  That is what I'm finally trying to do with my truck now,

About as fast as you can push it at the moment Charles . My dad's been building it for about 2 years or so now and is a basic crate small block(probably no more then 300hp?). He's 76yrs old this year and still does every bit himself(this sure ain't his first block & tackle and come-along frame off doing it all on his own in his garage with handtools job - he did get some help from a friend with the paint on this one though), unless I stop down every few months to visit and set him back a few days that is - lol.

Here's a slide show that is in no particular order(mostly backwards actually), up till just before christmas. I have some later pics(he sends them on a regular basis) of where he's at now(glass in, wiper system he added, tilt steering column adapted, bucket seat mounts, etc, etc - you know the gig, like I say it's going to be a daily driver) and will update that folder next chance I get.

Hoping(me as much as him I'm pretty sure) to have it on the road this year and drive it out to Maxton... would really like to see that happen for sure(he comes out to watch Deb and I run at least a couple times a year, was there when I got in the 2club and I hope he will be there when Deb does too)... my biggest wish is for the car to be deemed safe enough for him to make a pass down the mile(don't know or care if it'll go 100mph to tell the truth, but just to make a pass would be the best for me to see). Dad was racing with Arfons and others in the early 50's in Akron and never let me or my brbother get away with buying something we could make, so just to see him still spinning a wrench on a daily basis is more then I could ever wish for and he'll always be my biggest hero in the world of automotive nuts(and bolts).

Wow is that Roadster of yours gorgeous! Looking forward to showing my dad your '33 though, he'll love that and hope to see more pics get added of it I'm sure.
Thanks for sharing it Charles,
Todd

Cajun Kid, I like yellow and blue. I had a 41 Willys coupe that was painted Fruehauf yellow with a blue stripe on the side with a Clay Smith Cam sticker. And the interior was blue, very different, a looked great.

[Cajun Kid]

Got the seat mounted so we can mearsure and start work on the cage tomorrow. Put mock up motor and trans in and a set it back a bit more.  Headers and steering looks like are going to be a headache for sure (unless I switch and run headers out the side hood, but planned on full lenght chassis headers).

Oh well....

Charles

Seat looks cool in there! This is going to be a fun project to watch!

[Cajun Kid]

Deb, yes fun so far from this end too... Good thing I have long arms.. I feel like I am sitting in the back seat.. well with the engine setback and my big ole butt set back the weight distribution and handleing "should" be good.
