29 Ford NOT What you think!

Thanks Rob, and I just couldn't resist a little mock up.

[Ace-Garageguy]

Oh yes. That grille opening looks like it might kinda want a Bugatti insert. 

[Dogfish_7]

Pretty sweet!

I saw a vintage photo on Pintrest today of Ed Roth taken with the Bandit and two models sitting inside it with top down.The gals were curled up in almost fetal positions trying to force a smile for the cameraman.Those bubble tops look cool but we're totally impractical.

   Tom if there's ANYTHING a Bubble Top Ain't, it's Cool if you're inside of it. And add the Pic was most likely taken in Sothern Calif and those girls wern't in Fetal Position, They were in Medium Rare Position

[James2]

Comfy!

   That kinda Sums up the Driveabulity of that Roth Car dosen't it! Heck given their "Beehive" Hair Doos I'm guessing they're dying from Laquer Fumes from their Hair Spray

That blonde looks like shes having fun!!!!!!!

Very Cool and impractical, but that is the point of a show rod right!

love it !!

[misterNNL]

That's the exact photo I was talking about.I was a little surprised they bothered to publish it.I guess any photo with Big Daddy was a marketable commodity.personally I think the blonde looks like has gas from too many tacos and wishes Ed would open the canopy!

Too funny not to change?

[James2]

Well after some cement spillage i managed to get the bubble top up on wheels. Not quite right yet but this was more of a challenge than I expected! 

Fitting will continue...

[TarheelRick]

Beautiful work on this one.  Love the concept and the design.

[Impalow]

Dang... I love it!  

[Jantrix]

I can't help but think it needs some sort of front fender. maybe just some cycle fenders?

[RAT-T]

LOOKING GOOD JAMES

Thanks guys, I was thinking that or maybe some kind of a pod behind the tire.

    This is coming along nicely James. The Rear Fenders off of the Beatnik Bandit could be grafted onto your Car for Front Fenders!

[DrKerry]

You know when I first saw the idea of the grille shell I didn't like the look of the nose, but now seeing it with the insert in it I kinda dig it!!!!!!! Overall this thing flat out rocks!!!!!!

[exesivefire]

A pair of spoons could make pretty neat front fender pods.. 

Eric gave me that idea so I'm not claiming it 

[James2]

Small update, found some fenders and mounts...

[JTalmage]

This thing is looking even more wild and I love it!!

[DeeCee]

Very cool, but wider rear wheels would fill the guards out a bit better maybe??

[Jantrix]

Small update, found some fenders and mounts...

 

And I LIKE it! Looking good.
