For months we\u2019ve been looking forward to the arrival of Todd Anderson\u2019s roadster. The chassis was built and the body assembled by Erik Hansson in Huntington Beach, using an impressive collection of original Deuce parts Todd has patiently gathered over the years. Our job will be to finish the car.<\/p>\n

Obviously, the work is just getting underway \u2013 the first punch list is already three pages long — but we’ve got a full head of steam and we’ve completed work on the exhaust, fuel system and steering. Click here, we’ve posted a bunch of recent photos:

The jewel in the crown is a 255 inch French flathead assembled by Jerry Helwig before his passing. The motor runs an Isky Max-1 cam, Navarro heads, a Thickstun PM-7 with two rebuilt, big-logo 97\u2019s, and a Mallory ignition with a polished PowerGEN alternator. It’s all bolted up to an S-10 5-speed.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Erik fabs his own crossmembers, including the one in the rear. His modified T spring hangs a 3:54 banjo toughened up by Nick and Ken Smith at the Hot Rod Shop<\/em>. We disassembled the banjo for Todd here at Seabright before shipping it off to Idaho and it was like new inside.

Don\u2019t look for any crazy flash-bang on this car. Todd likes his stuff subtle and his heavy axle is a good example. Its inch-and-a-half \u201cGentleman\u2019s Drop\u201d is handsome and understated.<\/p>\n

The front bones tuck up cleanly under the frame rails, but they caused some grief with the routing of the exhaust. Gary fabbed a system that passes over the bone\u2026

\u2026then exits just ahead of the rear wheels. A simple, stainless straight pipe, it\u2019s muffled by an internal baffle.
\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We also built and mounted a fuel system, modified the floor and rerouted the steering (to make the u-joints cooperate), and we\u2019re starting in on the brakes and wiring. Yesterday we dummied up some taillights so Todd could visualize the layout of the rear panel.<\/p>\n

If you like these traditionally-styled roadsters, check back in. We\u2019ll be posting updates on our usual unpredictable schedule.
