Looking good, hard to stop when you are doing final ***embly. Always seems to be just one more piece to install before quitting.
That's the truth! Seems like every time I have a spare minute I am in the garage. Got the intake, carbs, fuel line, choke, throttle, vacuum lines, some brackets and base for dist. in today. Did not get a chance to take pictures
Pretty much have everything motor wise complete. Now need to do radiator, hoses, and finish the exhaust. Fluids and sheet metal, then fire that ****er up!
Hi mark, just read your entire thread your doing a great job, even with all your shoulder problems, glad to see you are only doing a freshen up and keeping this cl***ic coupe as is was in the 60s, looks fantastic.
Hi Mark Your moving right along even with the sore arm I'm sure your inspiration to many. Let me know when she's running I would like to come over and fine tune her for you. I always have the tuning tools in the roadster. Ron
Hi Ron, I will take you up on that offer! I would say another week or so and it should be ready. Hope your having a good summer. After your cross country in the roadster it should be easy. Talk to you soon. MB
Moved the coupe to the lift today! Need to finish up exhaust and upper radiator hoses and mount the battery. Wont be long now Oh and get some tires as soon as I remember who these belong to.
I am a Ford-bodied guy all the way, but those '33-'35 Chevy standard coupes are just as cool as Henry's Model 40's were. Neat ride.
enjoyed the read , would really like to be able to fix mine someday but dont feel it will happen. Jen
Jen, just don't give up! Just take it one step at a time and you will gain confidence as you go forward. Some times you end up doing things over as you go. It is all a learning experience. Good Luck!
Shoulder feels like I am going backwards. Have not felt any improvement in a while. Thanks for asking. Working on finishing up the exhaust this week.
Started the exhaust pipes today. Had to stop to cut gr*** before the rain this weekend. Did get them welded up ,just need to install tomorrow.
Finished the exhaust and headlights. Waiting for a radiator hose from Goodyear and put the battery in, that's it. Forgot to take picture of headlights.
Put the interior back together today (early jut) Finished picture too dark! Sorry! King Bee headlights back on. Added original sun visors! I am very happy with the exhaust from the rear
Good one! Post a photo for the folks that won't get it. Same thing for the Disney World rock formations on the new section of RT7. Bob
