Bill Jansen's 29/32 Ford Hiboy Roadster

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.
