Another Hot Rod.... - Lateral-g Forums

We stopped by the Briz's shop on the way back from GNRS to tune up on a few details... The color has been picked and the interior leather was also. We discussed the front suspension - it will all be chromed. Roy says that if I painted the I-beam axle... that I should only do that if it's going to be a show car only. It's getting the Buick finned drums over the Wilwood discs up front for that traditional look.

I have to tell ya --- the body is absolutely amazing quality! The floors are .125 steel plate! The doors - even just sitting on it's wood crate - shut with just a super solid "click". The trunk uses a new OEM (Ford we think) hinge that opens in an articulated manor so the trunk lid is almost vertical when opened... making this real easy to load and unload without smashing your forehead into the leading edge.

The frame boys told me it would be a body on roller next week! These guys are so efficient it's amazing.

Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I'd be on a work list with Mumford!

Love this frame rail!

We're frenching in this tail light and the license plate - exactly like the GNRS AMBR winning Mumford '27 Tracknosed T....

They started the brake lines while we were talking -- and in a matter of a couple hours - they were done!

You're really worried about that?

That is slick. Two hours for a brake line! What stand offs are those?

Great project Greg. More pics please

Two hours for ALL the brake lines -- front and back! I was blown away -- but the way this shop is set up -- one guy just does brake and fuel lines. When you do that day in and day out over and over again.... you get pretty efficient!

You can't see it in the pic -- but there are lines on the chassis all marked out - then he just pulls measurements from those lines and lays out the tubing - bingo bango - done.

I have some of those brake line holders but can't remember where I got them. I tend to use Kugel Komponents for a source... but didn't take the time to look before posting this.

The quality of their work looks great... nothing like a nice solid feel when you close the door.

Very nice Greg

Roy says he has them done for the shop. That also must be where I bought them because I have some at home. I've been buying stuff from them for a long time - so they must have come from their retail store. He said they do carry them "up front".

Their website isn't set up for retail shopping so you'd have to call and ask Dave about them. They're just 3/16" "line clamps".

Can't wait to see this bad boy all finished up. I spent over 2 hours last night reading this thread from the beginning and gotta say Greg that I love your build threads.... 99% smack talkin and 1% about the actual build lol
She's gonna be a beauty when all finished up. The Briz builds damn nice cars.

On my recent trip to the Grand National Roadster Show -- I met with The Briz and asked that he copy the colors of Phil Remington's Dry Lakes Roadster... (which was a Dan Webb recreation/tribute build) This car was on the cover of The Rodders Journal - and was also convenient that the roadster was there on display....

Sadly -- I've just read that Mr. Remington has passed away. He worked on Shelby's Cobra and GT 40 programs... as well as worked at Dan Gurney's All American Racers.

Worked up until the last month of his 92 yr old life.
