Projects 40 ford standard coupe

As beautiful as we all expected.

 

Impeccable work! Perfect stance,too. Never tire of that good old cloud mist. Is she a 4spd?

 

You must have a 55 gallon drum of that color!

 

Got it back from UPH (see pics) and it has been sitting on jackstands for about a month. All the front sheet metal is aligned and bumper installed. This is #13 and it must not be my lucky number. Went out yesterday and the windshield was cracked !!!! I could seen no rough edges or anything to cause this. What the hell-anyway wife and I took it out and went to my gl*** guy-- guess what couldn't match the tint !!! So got both sides (very reasonable-$75 for both sides) and wife and I installed in about 30 minutes after inner trim mldgs removed and was able to save the rubbers-never had this happen before and no one has been out there--not cold either. I don't think this one likes me. This one has taken far longer than the usual 4-5 months but was sidetracked by a bath remodel, wiring and ***embly on a 37 Woody for a friend and a couple of vacations. Oh well-just the bugs to get out now when the rain stops. Being retired and at 71 I need to find another one soon to keep me occupied.

 

Beautiful as always. Sorry to hear about the windshield issues.

 

NICE....

 

Impeccable work,I honestly believe you are capable of building 40's in your sleep! HRP

 

Wish I could own an olscrounger 40 to go along with my deuces! They're fantastic.

 

................I wish I could own one to go with my "not even close to as nice as his" '40 Std. Coupe.

 

That makes 3 of us! HRP

 

Wow.....the '39-40 Ford Coupe Gold Chainer all the way. It's gorgeous. Love your colors.

 

Wow , that interior is amazing ! Bummer 'bout the gl*** though - sounds like you got a great deal on the new stuff at least .

 

Great looking Coupe. Is this a 40 factory color and if so, what is it called?

Tim,Is that a space saver or a full size spare in the picture?Ive got one of those inflatable spares with an ancient canister.I need to do something different.John

 

Great looking Tim! Call Steve in SLO he has a nice project for sale. You could have it done for the LARS this year!

 

forty/shmorty. give me a fuelie!!!

 

THX all--it is cloud mist grey. Lynn-may go see Steve after the holidays. Near done now with this one. Bobwop ol fuely is still here resting-how bout a 40 with an early Rochester unit. The spare is full size-it is inset in the panel.

 

Yes, factory color....And he has THE accurate formula for it. (Thx again, Tim!)

 

That is really first cl***!

 

Boy that spare inset like that is cool.

 

Very Nice! Although I wouldnt expect any different from Tim.

 

well--down to the little things now--runs and drive great--just a couple of little details and it's ready for the road. It is going to a friend of mine -he has two others already.

 

Its not easy to get the front sheet metal to line up like that .Great job.

 

THX-took most of a day to get it right--a little here and a little there til it fit.

 

That's one beautiful 40, you do great work.

Sweet! I don't think I could part with that one!

 

Tim, really nice job on this one. It is my favorite color.

 

Dang I like how you do those,wish I had one

 

THX all--seems good so far--handles, stops and runs real well so far-little 327 is quite peppy!!!-couple of little sweaks to fix but I found em already

 

Breathtaking.
