Projects The Coleman Coupe gets some R&R

Wesley definitely knows that car.. he is quite a builder himself. He built a street legal sprint car from scratch! Very cool!

 

• I have been going to send you a note for some time but I am afraid of the computer. I also have deuce 5w that don built. Wesley helped him build the 5w I own in 1968-1969. He drove my 5w to high school. He is a great guy and very helpfull as is his brother Johnny.

 

Mark,
Really nice sketch! You need to post on the Friday art thread.

 

Love to see some pictures of it!

 

Thanks. I think I will! If I remember

 

Well I made it out to the Garage today! It felt great getting back into the Coupe. Don't tell the doctor. Anyway went over to fellow HAMBer and picked up cutoff wheel. Came home fired up the tig, broke out the S/S tube and off I went. Have not felt this good in months. Had to use a few
props to hold things up but it is on the way.

 

Lookin good.

 

dont know if this worked. I dont know how to use computer. so if pic comes through I will try some more

 

That is very cool! Love to see and hear more about it. Thanks

 

it is a cool car and a good story. But a long one. My computer skills are not good same as my writing and spelling skills never used it much in my life. I know some people on here wana kick your **** for not being correct so I just read. My son just got a 32 3w that had been hiden away for over 50 years. It is a real cool car and story also. He and and the Deluxe speed shop boys just rebuilt it mechanicaly in time to get to deuce days in Liberal KS. hope we can talk someday

 

Mark,
Nice job on the exhaust.
J3harleys,
Nice 5w!

 

Got the exhaust from the mufflers back completed today! Will wait to get the motor in before doing the motor to the mufflers. Everything is taking me at least twice as long to do with this shoulder thing. Even had the wife holding a muffler for me while I got the bolt in the hanger.

 

You are lucky she let you go back into the garage. Holding parts for you is gravy.

 

Hey Mark,
Glad you are feeling better and the coupe project looks mighty fine !

 

Thanks Big Daddy! I am behind on the coupe for sure. Expected to be driving it by now. At this point I am in no rush. Working on it is difficult at best. Hope to get into the carbs and top end of the motor next. I am glad I have the roadster to use this summer.

 

Hi Mark,
It is great to see this car again! Don was a friend of mine and greatly missed. I am glad it is in good hands.
Thanks,

Were is Mark? Sure hope he didn't screw up that sholder buffing the stainless exhaust. Bob

 

Im

 

Im also glad to see you back at it. missed seeing progress on the coupe

 

Well it has been a while for sure! I have caught up with most of the yard work etc. Had a fellow HAMBer help out with the top of the motor (Thanks Ron). I now have just enough strength back to be able to spin the engine on it's stand. So I am getting it ready to paint and go back together. Another day of prep and the red paint will fly!

 

Good to you that you are the mend and back at it. Just don't over do it!

 

Thanks, Got the block painted today. Hope to do the rest tomorrow. Finally got rid of the humidity.

 

today was a good paint day! call me when it is ready to go back in.

 

Pan and water pumps painted today. Went out to dinner with tb33anda3rd and wife's. Good day all around. "Got Turkey

 

tryptophan..... too full to post.....

 

What about now

 

Got the motor in today even with a weak left arm. Started connecting things. Feels good to see that flathead back in the frame rails

 

if you had WAITED i would have helped you.

 

Once that motor was in the air there was no waiting Thanks, I know you would be there if I needed you
