Hot Rods another 40 coupe- upholstery done

Well sir you have it down to a science, I love your builds like I have stated before,But were do you keep finding these cars!

 

Yowza, perfect color combo and stance...

 

Looks great Tim. I know you have the process down to a science. A Deuce or 33 would be a nice change for you.

THX Lynn--a 32 or 33-34 would be nice but may be a little out of my league. Looking for another 40 --have a line on a couple but will take a little break as I have to wire one and do some detail work on another 40 for a friend.

 

Hey Tim,Thought Id say hi and tell you my Bob Clouse 40 finally got published in November Street Rodder.Better late than never.I havn't seen the article yet as Im away on vacation and cant find a copy down here in lower slower Delaware.But its certainly came out of the same mold as your builds.Keep building them as long as you can.John

 

Just got ,my copy--looks great--I called Bob and told him he was mentioned in the Mag--he went looking for one. Bob has painted several for me over the years. I tear em apart and take him the car on the frame--then we remove the body there and I haul the frame home and do it while he does the body and related parts. Also have had Westgate build 6 motors for me--this 4o has a 65 327 he did.

 

Well done Tim, and thanks again for all the help with mine I've put about 8000 miles on it since may.

 

I checked the guinness book of records, Bob has now painted more forty's Cloud Mist Grey than even Ford Motor Company. I may have to drag my coupe up there and get in line, this would be the second one of mine he's done.

 

Stu--I guess I kinda like this color too-since 03 I have had 3 coupes and a convert this color. Also did a 40 woody for a friend this color as well and know of at least two others he has painted this color. Maybe I might try something different on the next one-not folkstone grey as I have done some of those too. I Like some of the maroons but have never done one. I like black too but have 3 black cars already-hard to keep clean.

 

Some of the new Fiat colors look like 30s/40s colors.Tempting.But my next car, 40 or not, is going to be maroon.

 

Do you have any pictures of tailpipe routing with the Weedetr rear springs? I have the CE on my coupe and curious about routing with the springs set inboard. Need to make a decision about what to use on my current tudor build.

 

Update---been slow on this one with vacations and home projects. Was in Uph for 6 weeks and had to wait a while to get it in. Now should be getting close-need to fit hood, etc and gets bugs out. Then go find another one-know of a couple

 

Beautiful.

 

Very nice!

 

Tim, looks great!

 

These guys beat me to it,but the upholstery looks great! HRP

 

THX -gotta finish it up then see what's next. Color is a little darker and more brown than pics show-it and carpet seem to work with the Briarwood brown std dash color. This is a new uph shop we found. He has done 2 coupes now and a sedan delivery-very pleased with his work thus far-will go there again.

 

Looks nice , and 'm picky.

 

That upholstery looks well worth a 6 week wait. Very nice and smooth.

 

Yep; understated, yet elegant. Perfect for a '40.
