Projects Progress, After 4 year wait.32 coupe

Well Ive owned this for four years now, My twins are 3 end of december, And Ive waited the last year for A local metal master, To finish his back log. He is Asian and comes to you So no worrys about My coupe vanishing. Needless to say Im stoked!!!!!! For those that dont know the story,Wideglide74, Jason, A man I had never met Turned me on to the Car. It had been rolled in about 86 And was in the Pacific North West. Sitting There waiting to be saved. I promised Jason progress pics So here they are. First one is How I bought it And the later ones are after Three 8 Hour days of work. The man working on it does things a little differant than us. So please Dont bash On the work Till you see the finished product. Ive seen what he can do. Sorry for rambling Here we go

 

Wow looks like he's got his work cut out for him! I'm gonna watch this. Make sure you take progress shots for us.

 

New sub rails fitted to frame To square it all up to. There will be drop downs added For the channel after the door openings and roof are staightened

 

Great John that is looking awesome.......keep us posted and the thread alive. It is great to see another old Hot Rod saved.

 

lots of work..good luck with this nice project

 

Those sub rails..........are they off the shelf? Hell of a job on the bolt clearance if they are not.
They look purdy.

 

Gee- Wideglide74 helped me out too! I posted to wanted and he came through at well under market value. Thanks again Wideglide74 That coupe looks great. Nice start and good luck on the build.

 

Cool deal, you have been waiting a long time to get started on that car, I cant wait to see it on the road.

 

4 years waiting to start your rod, I know how you feel , started my 34 coupe 4 weeks ago after waiting 6 years to get to it.

 

If you're talking about Yun, I had the pleasure of watching him work years ago. The guy is amazing. Truly a local legend...

 

No im talking about Va his brother.He is better and cheaper...

 

About 9 months ago there was another previously rolled maroon deuce on Ebay but it was a three window...Does anyone know who owns that car ??? BTW, The 5 window is looking good !

 

Bump for wideglide74

 

looking good brother hayes

 

Wow John, I called Crowder today and he told me you had Va working on it and the first thing I said was... He's got the right man for the job, I'm sure it will come out perfect! Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family! Kenny.

 

Drivers door now fits the opening!!!

 

When the car was rolled the passenger door opened while rolling and bent the A post and twisted it in two directions. Best way to fix, Stip the skins, repair and install the skins back..

 

Just a few notes the car is beimg rebuilt with brookville subrails, And a sectioned firewall that I found on ebay. The color is close but it is from a differant car. If you look at the early pics you see a wood firewall that was skin in stainless.. Also here is a pic in eary mock up to show the look Im going For

 

Forgot pic

 

Bump for my hommies

 

That will look great when you finish. Keep the pictures coming

 

Wait a minute, a bodyman comes to your house to work on your car!!

Holy sh**. That is unbelievable, I had never heard of that before and think it is the great idea. A mobile bodyman that works on hot rods....wow.

 

To make you really Sh#$ He only charges less than a 40.00 per hour cash and gets paid weekly after hes worked for a week.. Not like most that need money up front and tie your car up till you take it back and loose the money you gave them....

 

Congrats on the progress John, looks like he gets a lot done. Thanks for update. 10 days touring around So Cal and the only junk I've scored SO FAR is an old bike frame at "Slab City"...

 

yeah and unicorns really do exist.....

that is just awesome, keep us posted.

 

killer bro!!!!

 

keep it up, amazing work and what a deal with the body man

 

Looking good John....how is my sheetmetal brake working out?

 

Great, He is going to make lower patch panels. Say the store boughts are to thin at 22 gauge, So he is using 18 gauge. He will use it to start the bend, then hand hamerform from there...

 

Great John, it's about time you will be coming over in a cool Hot Rod.
