Projects KIWI 1939 COUPE DU JOUR - Runnin from Johnny Law!

I got my headers back a couple of weeks back. ***embled them on the stand for a look see.
Pretty happy with the result.

 

To quote a young female rock star "Oops I did it again!" I may have a bit of ADHD going on at the moment..... I ordered a centre force 2 clutch, pressure plate and hydraulic release the other day....... Oh and bought another car!



Check out the thread on the custom page.

 

Good to see XJ6 Jags agood for something, good score. How are you going to balance your time with the two projects? JW

 

Plenty of time for them all! Days on the coupe, nights on the 53 and weekends to play!

I agree. People can get very polarised by such things. I feel that it is more important to ***ist everyone in what ever they choose to build their cars. As far as I am concerned there is no right or wrong way to do things, but there is safe and unsafe!

 

At what point does using parts from 50 year old cars to enhance the performance of our hot rods become "on topic"? Or is it because the parts are from a British car? So no Ford pops? Just curious.

 

I remember that back in the 60's (and earlier) our traditional Hot Rods here in New Zealand used a lot of English, Australian and American parts.... its just what we had to work with. JW

 

It looks like @woodbox has been chased off by the police. I am very disappointed if that is the case as his build threads were very informative and entertaining. I hope I am wrong on this.

I hope Wade hasn't gone but after his build thread on his 53 Chev Coupe got locked and this. He last checked in back in August last year i thing he may be gone, i really hope not as his build skills are way cool. JW

 

Still here mate. Just busy licking my wounded ego!

 

Great to hear. I have always looked forward to the updates on all your projects and seeing quality and how innovation is done. Hope you can get something going on here again soon, I keep running across this pic from 2014...........how time flies!! Stay cool, Wade. JW

 

I hope you do update, its a cool build.

 

I loaded the coupe on a trailer today, ready to move it to our new home this weekend.

 

Looking forward to seeing your new layout. JW

 

Out of the shed, ready to go on Saturday morning to the new home.

 

Cool but the suspense is too much but hey, really hope the move goes smooth. JW

 

Hope all goes well with the move.

Glen.

 

All tucked up in their new home, until we build the shed.
I have lifted the projects to give storage space below, better than stacking on top!
