Building My Roadster

This series of documents and pictures will take you through the early stages of the life of my roadster. They cover the building process from first purchase to final paint. There are no pictures of the complete vehicle here since they are presented on my "Street Rod Page".

The Beginning (December 1981)
Test fitting the Drive Train
Chassis parts preparation, so many pieces to paint!
The Chassis (March 1985)
Body Work, the longest part of the build.
The First Trip out of the garage, under its own power!
First Paint, the body finally gets to make an appearance in RED
Off to Upholstery, April 85 and ready to go for some skins.
Home from Upholstery, May 85.
The Final Coat(s), re-painting to catch any oversights.
