This Roadster was built up over a 2 year period
using the body from my previous rod
a fully fendered 29 A roadster so all that was
required was a minor cleanup and a new paint job.
The chassis was found at the Adaminaby Tip under
a burnt out 32 Ford sedan.
A 1960 Chevy was bought for $150 which I drove
around till the rego ran out then
pulled the Engine and Trans out and transplanted
them into the 32 Chassis.
I used this car for a couple of years including
travelling to the 1975 Street Rod Nats on our honeymoon and afterwards
touring around Victoria towing a caravan for 3 weeks.
