Which way does that box turn when turning the input?

On this box its arm up.......not reverse steer....

 

[Dirtyrat]

Just checking, waiting to see how it all goes together!

Hard top

I been toying with the idea of a removable hard top.....this is what I have got so far....

 

[Sam_Fear]

I like the look of the top. How did you do the ridges on it?

I broke it over the edge of my welding table. I then tacked the front and pulled it into place in the rear.

Boy, BN, that is looking great so far. Enough time off. You need to work on it this winter. Very interested in how you get from where you are to where you need to go to finish the roof.

Well Bob that's a good question......it needs to be removable so I already figured how to do the attachments, I am using seat belt buckles for the rear and a clamp set up for the front like the corvettes used. as far as how to finish off the sides ,,,,,I plan to too use a short radius bent to tie it into the roof. If you have any ideas I am all ears......lol

I don't know how I have missed this one. Awesome!!!!

Well I finally got the radiator installed along with the grill shell. It took a whole day to fab to brackets to secure it to the frame, they will also function as headlight supports.

Well after a lot of thought, I decided to add 3 inches to the lower part of the grill to cover the axel and front part of the frame.

It looks like there's a day's work in the radiator/headlight brackets. They flow very nicely.

This is one very cool roadster.

I like the addition to the grille, looks like it belongs that way!

Thanks Bob,
I think I got it right, I didn't want the grill shell to look too short in the front and could not lower it due to the front axel clearance issues. I really tried to keep the top even with the front of the firewall (I hate the way it looks when the shell is way higher than the firewall).....

 

[Old Iron]

It has a good look to it with the extension [P

 

[Snake Farm]

Excellent move extending the grille.

Thanks Bob,
I think that's the hardest part, is to keep the flow just right. It takes just as much effort to miss the mark as to make it.

Well I finally got around to finishing the inside of the truck area. I spent almost two days getting it done. I now have room for my fuel cell and battery.

 

[Got Rust?]

Look's nice, clean trunck area and I doubt that radiator is going to move around much, could serve as a push bar.

 

[earthman]

excellent!
