Projects The Tindall Coupe Build

Update!!!!

 

Can anybody tell my why I missed this thread for month??
Awesome work, Dude!!
Keep on rockin'

 

what gauge sheet metal did you use for the floors? its looking good matt!!!!

 

You're not the only one. That car gets a

 

the floors are all 16 ga

 

I guess I'll surprise Tindall and update his build thread for him.

Matt chose me to do the paintwork on the coupe and dropped off the frame and suspension pieces to me 2 weeks ago. Once I have them done (In about 2 weeks) he'll bring up the body and take everything back to start assembling. Last week I did all the small misc pieces and this week I took care of the rear, hairpains, and backing plates. They caem out pretty good. For more pics, check my website. moonlitekustoms.com

 

I've never heard of this.
What does it mean?

 

I assumed it was a leak down test... a.k.a. a cylinder differential test.

 

Matt, the car is clean! I'm sure with slowandlow on the task of the finish work it'll be a rad looking rod.

I'm really excited to see this completed.

 

cool. go man go!

 

it was actually to check for cracks in the block. nothing is worse than having a motor all finished and finding out there is a hairline crack in the block

 

This is an awesome project!!!

Your quality of work is astounding. One question though, being a young guy too at 19 how the hell are you affording to build this?

 

I like your frame dolly. Good Job!

 

am 17 but don't hav the full funds for a rod yet...... =[

 

Me too! Rolf's build page saved me some serious time and headaches!
Thanks Rolf!

 

This car rocks, I was thinking about some pictures I saw the other day but couldnt remember who it was. Thanks for the update.

 

Looks good Matt, how's the wood kit coming? I see ou had it blasted, very nice. THANK YOU! It'll be nice to work on some clean steel. I'm about 2 weeks out on the frame I'd say.

 

now i can weld up the bottom....

 

Looks great! Great Thread. Any direction on the dash????

 

yea i got a brookville 32 style that im gonna put an insert in... maybe a simple 5 gages...
