Re: 1930 boat tail speedster from a rough starting point

The grill and radiator assembly is nearly finished... next the hood goes on for fitting and adjusting. The original lower frame was badly pitted and nearly rusted away... now it has been replaced with 1/4" cold roll steel bar. The bolts that attaches the grill assembly to the frame have been purposefully left out to ensure that the hood gaps are near perfect. When I get a good fit the bolt locations will be marked then installed.
On the radiator the bottom hose connection has been changed. A new flanged hose connection has been made and attached to the engine block. The inline electric water pump is clamped to the frame in position. A couple of hours and the radiator plumbing will be wrapped up.

I'm hoping to get a lot done this weekend...
