FROM DOZENS OF PARTS A ROADSTER APPEARS
Just like a jigsaw puzzle, you have to start with one piece and build from there. In assembling a Brookville body from parts, it all begins by mounting the firewall and lower front cowl panels to the frame.
In our first installment of this year’s NSRA Giveaway Car in the January 2010 issue of StreetScene we kicked our coverage off with a lead photo that looked more like a model car kit than a real-life ’32 Ford roadster. This month we show you the basic steps taken by the craftsmen at Johnson’s Hot Rod Parts who took a pile of sheet metal, supplied by Brookville Roadsters, and turned them into a recognizable automobile.
But unlike a model car kit, no glue was needed for this project! In addition to our long list of sponsors behind this car that one of you lucky NSRA members will be driving home from the 2010 Street Rod Nationals Plus and the effort of the craftsmen at Johnson’s Hot Rod Shop, another company is heavily involved in this year’s buildup.
Perfection Hot Rod Parts is a signature series parts line from Johnson’s Hot Rod Shop and in addition to helping fund the project; their suspension parts,steering wheel and pedals will be used. Be sure to keep an eye out for many new, innovative products coming from Perfection Hot Rod Parts who debuted this year’s Giveaway Car in their booth at last year’s Street Rod Nationals featuring their new billet wishbones.
