Features Show a year of progress

About 14 months progress.

 

Is that a Acadian or a nova ? None the less cool car . Nice vette , what year ? I am not up on vettes . I am going to guess though a 58 ?

Plumbid , nice car as well . 28 or 29 ?

 

about a year What's not shown is the roll bar, interior panels, fuel tank mounting, decklid hinges and even the decklid gutters, decklid latching and striker panel...a whole buncha stuff!

 

It's a 1930. I'll mention that I "cheated" because I started with a nice car! It's a different feeling starting with such a clean car. The 2 previous off-frame vehicles I did were very rough - I feel I "saved" them. This one, I get the feeling that I "changed" it.

 

Change is a good thing as it allows you to personalize it as you see fit . Two frame offs previous , you know my pain LOL ! Andy..

 

1. Chevy II
2. 1957 Corvette
3 Model A Tudor is a 1930 - 31

 

bttt

 

Rocky: You mentioned decklid hinges. Did you build your own? I just made up a pair for my cabrio....too tight to buy a new pair. Love to see pics. Tim

my thread on the cabriolet build: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/29-cabriolet-build-better-late-than-never.945429/

Color:
on upper left is selected color.

It is a variant of the original 1929 color. The hood is painted as four sample panels with slight variations of the original color, Andalusite Blue. It is a very dark purplish blue. The selected shade is a bit lighter and less purple.

 

Very Nice Ford Coupe Asphalt Angel . So 10 months? Very nice and fast work . Andy..

 

Thanks Andy
But-well-not really that fast-it took me another 10 months from where I started to get it to where I could paint it(first pic) and another 14 months to color sand,polish and assemble-including the time at the trim shop.

 

Here is mine 1 year ago today and how she sits today!!

 

Whoa ! That 57 Bumper looks excellent on your car JBUHL1954 . And then is that a stock bar assembly ? They look good together. I would like to air my ride but the exchange on the dollar , shipping , brokerage fees , tax , double the price up here for us Canucks .

 

Thanks man I appreciate it!! Ya the top bar and center bar are the stock 54!! I extended the cones back to fit around the fender and trimmed the bumper in to the fender also!! The center bar I cut the park lights off and shaped the bar to match the cones radius!! Then just did the same on the top bar!!

 

Kool man stay at it .
