Default My Tudor Project

Back in 1988 i Built this Fiberglass Roadster, on a re-pro frame with a Volvo B20 Drive line. The only original Model A parts was the hood and radiator.



But I always wanted a Tudor, since i could not find one in Sweden back in the eighties, I bought a Roadster body.

Fast forward, four years ago i bought a 30-31 Tudor Body, and sold of my Roadster body ( I have a 33 roadster to drive instead now). Time flies but this summer i started the body swap.
I have bought all Top wood, glass, locks etc. I will try to "restore" the body as much as possible. I will have some help with how to mount all the top Roof wood and parts, and how to install side window in the doors and rear quarter's an example.
Is it OK to ask Questions here?

Here is how it look's now


I had to change the rear wheel wells since my Roadster wheels rubbed on the inside.






Currentlly im repairing the bottom part of the body:

























This is what i have done until today

You certainly took on a big job with that body but with your long winters, you will have an excuse to be inside.
What is that small green body in the background of the second picture?

Well i guess i am a glutton for punishment.

The Green machine is a Swedish three wheeled Moped called shopper, that i got from my both sons on my 60's birthday. The 1hpr 50cc engine is replace by a 450cc Suzuki four cylinder engine.
And yes it moves :-)
