1928 roadster upgrades finished!

I finished up all the upgrades to the 28' roadster today. The last thing I've been upgrading was the brakes. I replaced the single master cylinder with a dual master cylinder. I got the brake pedal ratio from 3 to 1 back to 6 to 1. And I got the front brakes converted to a more modern Bendix style self energizing drum brake setup. Care was taken to not change anything visually on the car, we just wanted to make it easier to drive and stop. With all the upgrades the brakes work super nice now!

Plymouth has new wheels and tires.

We got the wheels and tires the other day. I got them mocked up on the car. They look great!






Patch panel welded in!

I got the patch panel all welded and grinded. Now its the process of leveling all the waves in the patch panel so that it flows with the rest of the fender.

Plymouth Passenger Front Fender

Ive been working on the passenger front fender. It had some big dents on the front of the fender that I worked out. And im filling in the spare tire hole. I used the drivers side fender for patterns of the curves top to bottom and side to side. Then I rolled out a patch panel on the enlgish wheel. Its all trimmed, and ready to tack in place.

I got everything out of the frame, and sprayed primer on a bunch of the suspension parts.
