Projects 1932ish Project in Newberg OR

Just in case anyone else is ever looking for it, the tread width on the Coker tires is listed on their website. The 7.5x16 Firestone tires have a 4.9 inch tread width and a 7.4 section width (which definitions read to be about the widest part).

 

Does Coker callout the wheel width they used for measuring purposes?

 

I like your transition on the cowl from closed car to a roadster, doing what one needs to do to get an affordable end result is the name of the game........correct me if I'm wrong but I thought I saw the very cowl your using advertised but assumed it was a commercial type that Ford provided for specialty bodies like fire trucks, vending trucks etc. at any rate an excellent save & well done!

 

Been fiddling around; got the front steel wheels on (just transferred the Tesla snow tires over for now) and mounted the headlights. Tried to mount the headlights in the location as if there was a bar going across in front of the grille, to put them about where they be if there was a cross bar. Looked at a whole lot of pictures to come to the conclusion that's where I preferred them. Oh, and I couldn't help popping on the wheel trim since they were just laying next to my work bench; pure silly vanity.

Thanks! Someone started it for me a long time ago, so it was maybe easier... I don't know, because then a tree fell on it ha. I spent a lot of time with the hammer and dolly/gas welder and it's still far from perfect ha

 

Coming along nicely.

 

Thanks!

 

Slowly plugging away; doing things with the family in the summer slows the projects down a little. Lot's of fiddling with fit and little things now that I've got it sort of built. Hope all your projects and endeavors are going well.

Dumb question but it'd be helpful if anyone had an answer -
My hood sides are cracked center bottom (both sides). I'm going to fix this soon, but they've both developed a bow due to this. I'm assuming the hood bottoms should be arrow straight?

 

The car looks great, pretty sure the sides should be flat.

 

Thank you! Just went over to check your project; the body is looking awesome.

 

Pretty Cool.

 

Chris is the best !

 

Deuce hood sides are flat.

 

Yes, hood sides are generally flat, but when they are latched they may tend to follow the slight curvature of the cowl at the rear and the grille surround at the front.
Make them look right on the car, when latched, with good gaps and correct fitting tops.
Photo above looks good !

 

Your car looks really great! You've come a long ways!
