She continues to look more and more like a rod and less like piles of debris

Almost ready to drive. Looks like good progress.

This roadster is looking good and so's the hot rod Camaro in the corner. Got more pictures of the Camaro?..

Went to a guys house with lots of old iron today hoping to find something to use on the project and he had zilch Model A material.
He DID have this passenger quarter from a 1940 Chevy Sedan that he was gonna scrap which he ended up giving to me.
I can find no way to make use of it in my Roadster but I couldn't stand to see it be melted down.

Started work on building the truckbed for the project today.

Cut the '49 Chevy bedsides down to 20 inches and completely destroyed the hood from a '64 Falcon that I bought 20 years ago
Gonna use the sheetmetal from the Falcon to make the bottom of the bed.
Got everything cut out now the next step will be to weld it all up!

Here is the small truckbox made from a Falcon hood and the old chevy bedsides

Moving along nicely. Got a motor lined up for this yet?

I was gonna use a 2.3 litre that I have lying around but I have been given a 302 that I believe will suit it better.

Gonna try to get the truckbox attached tonight if the weather permits.

Here is The Ghost as she sits today.

Coming along nicely. Instead of a Brookville body you have a Sandmoutainslimville.[cl Let's see that box when you get 'er on.

 

[schine]

[sandmountainslim]

Upgraded a bit to a '36 Terraplane Grille and Headlamp buckets.
Also got the truckbox finished and picked up a '78 302 engine. She is moving along!

 

[schine]

Ok I have been gone because we took a DIRECT hit from an F4 Tornado during the April 27th Outbreak. The Ghost AND my Mustang were hit hard and garage totally destroyed

A few months later have just now got the building rebuilt and The Ghost put back to pre Tornado condition

Hell of a year! But we are moving on! Next is to attach the front axle as planned before the disaster
