thats pretty *****en right there

 

Looks good to me!!! Gotta ask, does it have windshield washers?

 

Gotta ask, does it have windshield washers?

Yes it does.
The windshield on the pictures is the nice-weather-windshield!
I have made a fully framed windshield as well - that I may combine with the canvas top.
And fenders that's easily removable.
I love the highboy roadster look, but want the car to be useable in bad weather as well.
After all, this is Norway, not southern California....

 

Looks great!
I have a cold air induction system too!

 

Very nice !

 

Some years ago A guy in Fla owned different style '32 roadsters and said the best for wind was the Duvall windshield. For some reason a top on a Duvall just doesn't look right to me. I assume you have a heater, correct? Side curtains?

 

I assume you have a heater, correct? Side curtains?

Yes. I have a heater. And i have power operated hardened glass side windows.

They dont seal against the Duvall side posts, but are close enough to keep the inside dry even in hevy rain.
The windscreen posts sticks further out than the side windows, so no rain enters even with clearance enough to open the door with the side window up and no interference with the windshield posts.
Not easy to see, but on the side view picture in my last post, the side windows are rolled up.

 

You've done a wonderful job at building an all weather roadster. Few pics of the windows please.

 

Thanks.
Here are some photos of the side window solution.

Easy to see t's home made on this close-up level and I guess many could done it more nicely.
But you get the idea......

 

I think it's very well done and certainly a step up from snap on clear vinyl.

 

I got two damaged side doors from a common Mercedes for free from a wrecking yard. I had noticed that these cars had a narrow and slim side window gasket.
I cut the upper 2 inches from the Mercedes doors and fitted the cut outs on top of the '34 doors.
Then it was easy to fit the rubber parts from the same car as well.

Those who know the '34 will see that my car isn't a Roadster from the beginning. It was initially a 34 four door that someone had tried to change to a five window, but gave up.
I bought the body, removed the roof and added the proper rear parts.

Here's and early photo.
Taken before I had any idea how much work would be needed!

 

All it takes is time, dedication and money...maybe some skill too. Think I left out dedication and vision. Great job. Makes mine look like a walk in the park.

 

Creative, functional and it looks great! It's always nice to see your posts, Staleg.

 

Thank you for kind words!

 

I dont know much about the science, but it sure looks like you have given it a good go.
Credit to you.
You sure seem to your share of dash gauges installed, any commentary on what they are all for?

 

I kind of like the "overload" look on dasboards!
But everything must be in function, of course.

Gauges from left to right:
-Speed. Tach, water. oil, volt, fuel, intake vacuum, clock, AF wideband.
-Switch at the very left is el. fuel pump off/on.
-"Thing" at the very right is 12v for iphone charging etc.
-Center console is sound system equalizer, switches for seat heaters and main switch.
Small discant speakers. Main speakers in doors.
-Swtich below the water temp gauge is for manual on/off/on for one/both elelctric fans. They have an adjustable automatic switch as well.
-Ivory color knobs are for headlights, wipers, heater fan.

Rest of the sound system is a Bluetooth receiver under the drivers seat and an amplifier in the trunk.

Heater fan either blow on windshield inside when driving in rain. Those openings are closed on this photo.
Otherwise it blows through the openings below the steering wheel, on my hands.

I must call this car finished soon. Otherwise it will be too much mods.
It gets harder to do the regular maintaniance and small fixes when it's so loaded with extras.

 

Thanks for sharing and your description. I'm builting a flathead powered T and have two water temp theromostats installed with one temp gauge that I can switch to check each senor.
Apparently each side can run at different heat levels and mostly its an install to tweek my pair of thermostats.
Just for the fun of it I am also running a dual face air/fuel ratio gauge to give me an idea of how my fuel mixture is doing.
Gauges can be so helpful at times.

 

What, no trans temp!!! Pilot to copilot...LOL

 

I wish... No space, but only a stock T700R4 behind a flathead...

 

I have found the AF wideband gauge to be much more valuable when adjusting the carburetor / ignition, than the vacuum gauge.
In fact I would prefer to have two AF gauges instead of AF + vacuum gauges.
With two AF gauges I could have one for each cylinder row.
