More pics of body doing it my self mate own sheet metal shop so we rolleled the cowl 60 liter oil tank behind the original rolls firewall body number (my160) don’t know what the old body looked like never chased it up..

[Dodgey1]

Pic of the front grill shell made it fit around the 7inch thick radiator which will run into the engine then out to second radiator at the back then back into front radiator,both with thermostats and 2 huge two speed thermos and glycol. May have to slow water pump down or put restictors in yet will see what happens.

This is how the rear the body started out sum cutting and joining ...

Another pic of front with rolls headlights on modified moto meter..

[Shakermaker]

[Dodgey1]

Back of body joined up and a nice fuel cap I bought with a tank and magnetic fuel gauge all will be on the rolls...

[Dodgey1]

More rear body tapping and shrinking to do, steering made from scratch made it large so don’t need any power assist.

Very much looking forward to seeing a video of you trying to start it on that handle!!

[Baron von Teuchter]

Looks fantastic! Bet it sounds even better

[Dodgey1]

It’s all about looking 1932.......

[Dodgey1]

Running 2 alternators off the tail shaft to charge the 2 12v batteries one for each thermo fan because they will only charge while the car is moving, the engine only needs power to start after that magnetos run it, so tail lights headlights and fans will use 12v and the engine will start on 24v...

[Dodgey1]

Battery box will carry the 2 batteries hooked up to make the 24v to start it, side handbrake is half rolls and something else but looks ok and a fuel shut of valve...

Oh, I'm liking this. Please keep the updates coming as it progresses. Cracking stuff!

[ivanhoew]

lovely old details ,well done.

[Dodgey1]

Will be trying to get more pics up I have taken a few while I’ve been building the car just sorting through trying to get a bit of order happening, haven’t been working on it much lately need some more cash to buy stuff, some mates help me make stuff but have to fabricate everything else myself which takes time as well as restore veteran bikes and cars fore other people but it will be finished and it will look 1932 era correct apart from the engine and gearbox which is a bit later obviously....
