Crosley Fibersport, Beezer bobbers and other crap!

The lifecycle of the Crosley Fibersport rebuild by a guy that has never turned a wrench, and woke up one day and said crap, I am getting old and there are a lot of things I want to do. Most guys call it a midlife crisis but I just call it more living and less dreaming. So here starts the the days of buying, building and racing (bonneville). I am sure there will be bloody knuckles, greasy shirts, striped bolts and a lot of questions. So from here on out it's going to get ugly kids.

The buying process - Crosley Fibersport

It all is about to start. I have made the purchase and will be picking up the car this week. I have always dreamed of buying and building a car to take out to Bonneville and with the help of a good friend or two the dream will come to reality.
The car what I know as of now (which is very little since it was an ebay purchase) is a Crosley with a 1st generation Fibersport body so that puts it in the 1956/57 time frame I am guessing. Once we get it home we will be able to pull the body and take a close look at the frame and see if it was a custom frame or possibly a Crosley Hot Shot.

Looking good. I have an early Fibersport also "SIAM" I have a few contacts in the Mays family. Would like to follow along as you get it going. I am working on the SIAM but it has moved a bit further back on the list. My website is www.lchrestoration.com Interested in the crease in the right front that doesn't show in the left front. What is that? Larry Santa Fe, NM
