The Roofus Special

[Flipper_1938]

My favorite mock-up day..... I need to get this feeling back.

I also mocked up a set of model A hood sides. They might be louver donors...not sure.

I didn't take it off of the table, but I did the next best thing. I made my daughter climb on the table.

It's a sleek LITTLE car!

Lol I'm right there with you on that... Mine was going to take a year maybe two tops!

It was shaping up to be a cool ride... I'm sure the "feeling" will come back

[soltz]

what's your hurry?

Does the clock stop when it's a driver [S

I don't think mine will ever be "DONE"

 

[Flipper_1938]

Apparently, not much.....

Last night, dad called me about Roofus. He was all excited about a boat tail that he saw somewhere and wanted to know when I was gonna get back on it.

 

[CORPO]

well......... ????

what did you tell him, when you getting back at it?

man that speedster oozes cool!!
specially with the jag running gear .. [cl[dr

It is really hard to stay find motivation/stay motivated. I really don't hang around any other car people. I have tried convincing my daughter to be my car buddy and that hasn't gone so well.

I will get back on it someday. I still think it is one of the coolest car projects that I have ever seen. The people on this board seem to "get it", but a lot of people can't seem to comprehend sacrificing a jag to build a car that was never a car.

Flip you will see pix of my vettester on the road soon and maybe that will motivate you because yours will have ten times as much character and cool.

Well, it looks like we have finally paid off enough debt that I can start planning a backyard shop. It will be nice not to have to drive 250 miles to go play.

Hopefully Roofus will be an active project again.

That's some of the best news I've heard all day! I've always loved "Roofus" and look forward to seeing you blow the dust off him and getting back at it.

One of my all time favorite builds! Heck, a back yard shop should only take a couple weeks to build, right?

 

[earthman]

Now yer' talking what we wanted to hear

 

[smallfoot]

Great news on the shop. Lots of roofus fans here too...
