Hot Rods Another Deuce Five Window Gets my Attention

That's a beautiful coupe, great build!

 

Don’t think so. If I do it would be maybe the dash , grill shell top or trunk. Although I think the louvers are enough .

 

Coupe out today picking up parts. Running nice.

 

Found this cat trying to jump start my coupe.
Actually it’s Beth the Cat. Ted’s barn security.

 

she looks tire d

 

We’ll have not been in the garage much the last few months. Radiation treatments had other ideas. I only have two more treatments so I mustered up some energy today and got out to garage to get the windshield etc. off the car. Hope I feel well enough soon to get the rest of the body ready for Black paint.

 

Mark,

Looking good there. Maybe you need a cat mascot radiator cap? Any progress is a good thing & Happy to see you’re moving forward! I went through a huge delay with my windshield frame but happy to say that finally it’s ready for new glass.

 

Hi Pete, had the guy up in Vernon do glass for me. He is very good. Let me know if you need his number etc. Vintage Glass
Have a Merry Christmas!

 

Mark, Glad to hear you're back spending some time in the garage.

 

Thanks, I’m trying!

 

Great 32. Feel better.

 

Started doing wheel wells. Had heavy coat of maybe bed liner coating. Ugh! Still some more sanding to do.

 

Happy New Year! What is the deal on the rear spring hanger, looks modified. Bob

 

Mark,

There’s a word for stuff like that. I starts with a Sh and ends with a T.
Would gentle heat or solvent help?

 

I've been absent but I'm glad it's just further tweaking of what was under fender due to its new look and not a negative discovered.

No surprise someone may have added that sometime in the passing of time...lots of time.

Elbowgrease is a without a doubt a constant part of the game...

Happy New Year CT!

I also just bumping back a few posts your dealing with a health issue, may it be pacified forever. Healing thoughts your way.

 

I feel Gilmore Racing and mid to later 30's period when I look at this...

Is that what you were inspired by this time round...Now I'll go read post 1# again...

 

That look will get it in the Homogenized Thread that's traditional isn't it...1 day in the life, well a week or two TB's painting it...I see those pics often...we've all been there, when you get it turnkey the bug to hit the street supersedes looks....

​

 

I have it under control. A bit more sanding and the some feather fill.

 

Just doing what feels and looks good.

 

Nothing wrong with traditional. Always my mission. Thanks for the encouragement.

 

Mark, the coupe is looking like it could have been built back in the 40's/50's, I do hope 2025 is a better for you and Bard, Cancer sucks,praying for you guys brother! HRP

 

That’s era I’m going for. As far as cancer, there are so many people suffering much worse than me. Going to the hospital everyday was quite an experience. Seeing all the cancer patients. My treatments are over for now. Just have some lingering symptoms. I will see if the treatments were successful the end of January. Thanks HRP! You guys are always in my prayers.

 

Getting in the garage whenever I’m up to it. Trying to get all the door jams and hard to do stuff prepped for paint.

 

Sorry Bob, just saw your question. Of course it’s modified, it’s a Hot Rod!

 

I keep sanding when I can. Little by little.

 

Plan to fill the rail gutter spot welds for better Areo Flow?

 

Mark, That’s gonna be one special coupe!

 

Not traditional!

 

Little by little. More sanding today.

 

Mark what are your instructions from Ted @tb33anda3rd and what are his plans for the paint job? Do you know what was used on the car? Using the same paint or does Ted have his favorite brew?
