Projects Finally Getting Close on my '49 Shoebox Coupe

Been a while since I posted pictures of the progress on my '49 Ford Coupe.
If I wasn't somewhat handicapped and could run fast enough (as no floor yet) I could finally drive it !!!
Got it running great and everything finally all hooked up, including the rear fishtail exhaust.
Been working on it for (3) years, and hopefully will be driving it next spring. I will then be (82) and grinnin' like a ******** well you know the rest...Still a lot of finish body work left to do though.
Last picture is my intention for paint, which I noticed pretty much the same on a different car posted here !!

 

Cool!

 

So awesome to hear you have been able to get your buggy on the road!!! Mississippi Mayhem next year?!?!?

 

Lookin' real cool! Keep up the good work!!

 

I've never seen the Continental kit recessed like that on a shoebox

 

Custom, unique touches making it your own....good on you.

 

Me neither, that's cool....

 

HOPEFULLY !!!

 

It was an option for 1952-53-54 Fords only, so kinda hard to find.
Luckily it fit quite close on my '49.
I really like it.
It is called a Coronado Kit.

 

Sweet pair there !
