Projects A late introduction-Junior Conway coupe build

We think it's a strip of the ivory leatherette on the upper trunk lid opening flange. Things of this nature were constantly changeing in response to showing something different/new from the last show. We have decided to not incorperate that particular item because we feel we have that option.

 

Almost there.

 

Thanks Jer. I wasn't picking your project apart. I'm just curious to find as much info as I can about my favorite custom. I figured it was changes for the show circuit. Thanks for the reply.

 

Awesome!

 

I can't lie... that's the first time I've ever seen painted paint cans.

You are doing an AMAZING job!!

 

Oh man, I'm loving all the attention to the minute details!

Exciting work - looking forward to seeing it all polished up next to the Kopper Kart.

 

oil cans kinda look oil canned, look how wavy they are...What a terrible job! Personally, i would've cut them open, hammer and dolly them nice and straight, weld them back together, do some lead bodywork block sand, guide coat at least 5 times then paint. JEEZ.

 

Maybe the next time around??????? Don't tell Mom.

 

The lid.

 

Remnants of the old headliner. The new headliner in place. I'm expecting to see the new headliner stretched and glued in place tomorrow when I go to the trim shop. Wer'e on the down hill side of this part of the build.

 

you cant say enough on how amazing this build is.cant wait to see it!

 

Just thought I would post this prior to regular posting. The '50 Ford visors are blunt at the ends. I think Jr had Merc visors. They are extended at the ends. This makes for a nice effect when put up against the headliner.

 

Ditto.

 

Gettin there.

 

Looking good Jer

 

How did I miss this thread all along? What a fantastic build. It's (almost) too bad it's a clone, there is so much excellent work in this car it'll be a jaw-dropper no matter what.

 

NOS back glass.

 

GNRS is gonna be like a 2nd Christmas for the eyes this year...

 

More.

 

Fancy!

 

Thanks Bob and crew for a great effort and job. Now, it's off to the glass shop.

 

Wow...looking good Jer!!

 

Well , it looks like Jr. snuck in to...hey, thats Glen the glass guy. GET THE HELL OFF THE PHONE AND GET BACK TO WORK! I gotta get this car done. THAT BETTER BE A LOCAL CALL!

As you can see the steering wheel is wrong and the door panels are going to stay off for awhile and, no I don't know what that is.

 

Now this is more like it.

 

Wow... now it is Junior´s old car and it´s looking so good.
Nice work.

 

Un-installed steering wheel spinner?

Car is nearly flawless, really outstanding. Kudos Jerry, Dan, and Tom!!

 

More bits. Wev'e been here before.

 

Jer, looking great ! I was looking at the "on the phone" pictures. Was the shift rod that follows the column down chromed ? I was just looking at the two pictures and was wondering.. I wish my shoebox was this nice.

 

Under dash light maybe. Or a peep mirror for lookin up girls skirts is my guess.
