Re: 1930 boat tail speedster from a rough starting point

The steel tube frame is the base for the body. When I am all done the entire body will be able to lift off of the frame (without the front fenders, hood and rear fenders). The cowl bolts onto the front of this body frame. I have not decided if I'm going to make the rear part of the body (behind the doors) will bolt in. I'm leaning towards just welding it together.

As for the design, I'm looking at various photos of 1930 boat tail speedsters from the internet and I'm trying to duplicate the body lines as close as possible. I will not make drawings just sketches and simple patterns.

Thanks for your interest. I'm going to need help when I start restoring the drivetrain.
