Thanks for the update, ( I know I cant be the only one that checks this thread daily) things are coming together nicely !!! Cant wait to the finished product. ( really like the red quick-change in the background )

 

What paint are you using? That 9" looks slick.

 

Yes, what type of primer/ paint ?

 

Hah! Finally found it again lol. Now to catch up on the thread

 

So I finally got caught up on the thread. Where did you find the healey deck lid hinges?? Those are awesome!

Bump to the top

 

Amazing work!! Great meeting you guys too.

 

Man, I'm totally into this build. I really like all of the choices, and workmanship so far!

 

Awesome build man. Ill be following along, i have 31 coupe thats next in line. Lots of great fabrication

 

Love your set up. I've had a Y-block Thunderbird in my "A" roadster from the time I built it in 1959 all the way to now,wouldn't have it any other way.

 

Great coupe! Awesome fabrication, can't wait to see it finished!

 

Thank you sir!! Yeah sorry, I don't get on here much. I need to get on more haha

 

Haha thank you! I need to get back to updating it daily, the car is much further along now. I need to get my thread up to date. The quick change is actually for a customer of my dads, it's a pretty one!

 

Thank you! I'm very happy with how it came out. Blocking that thing wasn't fun though haha.

And some clear

 

For the primer I'm using Summit Racings Grey Epoxy primer. It's not very expensive (can't remember the price) but it's great, not watery at all like some others.

And here's what I used for the filler primer

Lower cowl patch panels are done




The previous owner cut out the gas tank so we welded it in to fill the gap

 

Polished the Thunderbird valve covers, that was fun.

 

Dash is blocked, primed, and painted!





If anyone knows what this dash is please let me know! We still aren't sure, got to be early 30's, but what?

The center bead might help

 

Dodge? I recall some early mopars having a similar opening. Glad your back to updating I keep seeing your progress on Instagram and wanting more detailed photos/ info but figured I'd hit wait till you posted it all here.
