Bitching! I dig this one! Following..

 

Time for an update please

 

heres some updates- thanks for the interest fellas... I hadnt posted in a while- honestly I wasnt sure i was in the place for traditional builds anymore.

I blew the car apart again and painted up the chassis in my garage. I used a single stage, in a color I felt would be very 40's (but it is a brand new production color 2012 vehicles!) what do you guys think of the color?

 

reASSebly..

 

Chassis looks great...

 

this is awesome!!!

 

Wow. Very cool car.

 

Keep at it! Never seen shock and headlight mounts welded directly to the frame before though.. Interesting.

 

I dig it. Nice color.

 

I had read this thread before, nice job!

 

What color is it?

 

it is a new fiat color..coffe latte or mocha somethin like that.

We started working on mocking up the top. We used the original header/bows from a sport coupe and cut them down to fit the chop and get the right height we wanted.


This is NOT the material or color the top will be, it is some left over material we had to help us get an idea of how it would lay.

 

we used a jeep wrangler rear seat- it fits like it was made for the car, a club member stiched up some fancy threads so it would look the part.

 

Just found this thread Tim... Nice work and great looking car!! I just picked up a nice 29 SC myself.

 

Looking good this far, keep the good work up...

 

Thanks for the kind words guys. Eric your welcome to come by anytime, I will pm you my #

 

You had me at:

I love '40s style and Sport Coupes.

 

I'm surprised nobody's posted this yet:

 

^thats awesome I had that pic saved..i was saving it for when someone would tell me "sport coupes as hot rods? blah blah blah"..hahaha. Thanks!

 

Cool Hot Rod!

 

Heres a great shot I found on another thread awhile back!

 

^very good!

Today I got the package tray fit in, all the wood and wood frame in place and fitted.

 

i think the that sportcoupes need only a top chopped and reshaped like the other coupes.....they are cool.

 

I agree, we chopped mine 3" .

Today had some time and Cavalier Tony came by to work on the top- we are just about done with the structure- all that will be left will have to be done after paint. We made some alterations to the visor and fitted the header- we also found an old dome light we will use.

 

Bitchin!

 

This has always been one of my favorite shots.

 

Looks awesome Tim! We'll be cruising on this in no time.

 

Man those visors make them look so good! I gotta get over n check it out soon
