Projects **** The Chemical City Coupe '32 5-window build thread ****

.

Rear bulkhead being fitted.





and done...






.

 

Nice work, looking forward to more pics of progress

 

I like the bulkhead idea. I'm using the same tank in my coupe. But I want to run a roll down rear window. Are you able to do both?

 

.

Elrod, I made the decision early on to run fixed glass in the back, so the bulkhead was not designed to work with a roll down window. At 18 gallons the tank is bigger than I wanted, but it will be great for road trips.


.

 

Only just discovered this thread but i'm glad I did, Its looking superb !!!

 

Hell yeah, you should be able to make it about 36 miles if my calculations are right.

Big Nasty Nailhead + Injectors + 5-speed + Quickchange = 2 miles per gallon. Awesome...!

 

.

So, I ordered my gas pedal from the speedway catalog today - NOT!!!













Wait until you see the battery box!!!



.

 

thats not billet i see is it?

Looks great by the way!

 

.


Maybe... Shit, I guess I'll be banned from attending billetproof forever.


.

 

Real slick DOD!
I love all the little details and one off parts. VERY nice job on everything!
Question for ya. Did you make the gas tank, or buy it?
I'm setting my 32 up similar with the trunk mounted tank and bulkhead between trunk and pass comp.
I was going to make a tank, but that one looks good so figured i'd look into it if you bought it.

Thanks,
Tony

 

Oh my God, what's next.... Fake Gold Chains?

 

.

Stay tuned Kevin - fake gold chains, pinky rings, maybe even dancing girls with fake boobies.


.

 

Fake boobies are completely acceptable

 

Subscribed!

 

It's ok, I won't tell any one

In a job I had rebuilding war birds we would regualarily mill and then rumble the items to come out looking like a casting,

This car will be a real standout!

 

.


As promised, the battery box.




Nice rubber mounted base.




More anti-catalog hot rod parts to come.



.

 

Tony,

The tank is an off-the shelf-unit from Tanks Inc. wanted to find something a little more unique, but Just couldn't find anything that would meet our needs. I couldn't delay the build looking anymore so I settled for this one. We will be tricking out a little and making it a lot cooler though.




.

 

mmmm.... I like fake boobs.

 

Dave, Are you using steel bar instead of traditional wood for body supports? Nothing like good wood... This is an awesome car. Can't wait to drive it (ha, ha)

 

.

Hi Chris. The only wood removed is around the rear window. The rest will stay.

Some drilled steel rod will be used to add a little more support here and there.

As far as the drive, I'm sure it could be arranged.

Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Nice work on the batt box!

 

Battery mount looks amazing, nice job

 

High praise indeed coming from ^^^him^^^. I'm not gonna ask if it was CNC'd...

 

I would guess machined then blasted but it looks like a casting.

 

That's a negative on the CNC. Jo mills everything manually. The stuff is then blasted, beaten, scuffed and played with to make it look like sand cast aluminum. It is pretty cool and really does look like an older casting - even up close.


The throttle linkage is done and some rear body braces were fabbed up. I'll try to post some more pics soon, but am leaving town for the holidays and may not have good internet access.

.

Based on your stable of cars, you have enough prizes.

Then again, one can never have too many prizes...
