I especially like the Sellers Equipped made windshield. This is a &#8220;Hallock&#8221; style windshield, made back in the day for the Model A&#8217;s and now re-made by Sellers in San Jose. Then there&#8217;s the 1935 Ford Dash, and as pictured, the custom front, &#8220;Panhard Fork&#8221; (later scrapped by Nick) and slick inner door panels whipped up on a home bead roller. There&#8217;s no picture, but creativity struck when Nick saw a Chrysler minivan 3rd row seat and cut that down for his roadster.\u00a0 It&#8217;s a great looking, hard driving hot rod to make the 2200 mile round trip &#8211; no doubt.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Grab the details of the build here: <a title=\"Nick's build kickorr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.jalopyjournal.com\/forum\/showthread.php?t=543427&amp;highlight=malcolm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Part 1<\/a> and <a title=\"Nick's roadster build part 2\" href=\"http:\/\/www.jalopyjournal.com\/forum\/showthread.php?t=567286\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Part 2<\/a> &#8211; but before you go, please check out my pictures of Nick&#8217;s Roadster, in a glorious Bonneville sunrise.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As I&#8217;ve said before in <a title=\"Hot Rods of Bonneville Speed Week 2011\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/hot-rods-bonneville-speed-week-2011\/\" target=\"_blank\">Hot Rods of Bonneville Speed Week 2011,<\/a> Speed Week brings out the hot rods.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The stark white salt, the chiseld iron of a rock solid hot rod with the golden light of sunrise. If I could sip my coffee while shooting these shots, it&#8217;d be perfect. But no! I searched for the perfect angle to catch the heart of a 2200 mile drive&#8230; with no chase car and only the tools that fit in the truck (with luggage and other supplies). Nick&#8217;s uncle, John Staab made the journey with him. 1100 miles, arriving on Friday evening in time for the <a title=\"2012 Bonneville Speed Week \u2013 Hot Rods in Wendover\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/2012-bonneville-hot-rod-car-show\/\" target=\"_blank\">Nugget car show in Wendover,<\/a> then they left, right after these shots, for the journey home&#8230; on Monday morning.
