More about the car:

It all started almost 20 years ago, after my arrival in Canada. the idea of building a Nostalgic rod. It was done with a Roadster 31 that would make the cover of the Sanderson Headers catalog. While collecting parts for the 31, many parts were collected, a Columbia differential, a Stewart Warner dashboard, Flatheads, etc … The dream of a 32 roadster had been with me since my adolescence, but the grail is difficult to achieve. Luck smiled on me fifteen years ago when a friend offered me this roadster which is an old Hot Rod from Quebec from the 60s, hence the traces of blue, red, green paint that I wanted to keep as a testimony of a past. The new hunt for original 32 parts and nice vintage ones can then begin. In 2015, I attended with a friend, a Mentor I should say, the TROG and the revelation happened, “I want a machine like Scott Mc Cann from Deluxe Speed Shop and race with it!”. The same year, i catched a Mullins Trailer, it will be the perfect addition and wonderfull tool box for #254. 10 years of patience to realize this double dream, finish the Roadster and make the TROG in 2024.
