Hot Rods Curbspeed Coupe. "Holy Hell" 10/4/2020

Most of the hard bodywork is done. Just cleaning up a few details. White paint soon. I have to tackle the underside of the floorpan soon. It would be so nice to have a rotisserie for that part. This project will see completion .

 

Dale, did you use bits of 32 frame rails? I noticed there’s a reveal under cowl... sneaky!!

Yes I did. Model A frame horns up front and rears are switched side to side and swept up in back. Cowl forward is quite a bit more slender than stock. I think 34 frames are ugly stock. Especially where the fender braces mount. I fixed Henry's lack of foresight. I guess he wasn't figuring on hotrodders going fenderless.

 

coming along nice

 

Thanks Rob. Let the wet sanding commence.

 

Killer build. Great work.

 

Must get out to shop tonight and do something

 

Got something done tonight. Nothing great to show except some clapped out old Ford in a single car shed out back. The struggle is real.

 

I had to do a bit of catching up and I absolutely love this project!! Those headers are bitchin!!

I couldn’t find any bell tips myself either so I made the dies and made some (admittedly pretty crude) bell tips that sort of fit into the home-brewed style of my roadster.

I cannot wait to see this thing all together.

Russ Meeks of Portland can make some for you. He did mine and they are the same is on the Orange Crate he did back in the day. Yours are fine though. I appreciate the fact you made them yourself. You can do it on a trailer ball too. Thanks for the compliment. I'm trying.

 

This car is so nice , you do great work. Look forward to seeing it finished out

 

Wet sanded, sealed and painted my doors. One more piece almost done. This is white paint. Light is bad in my shop. Turned out pretty good. Need to let dry and then set them flat so the hinged can relax and paint some that is missed while hanging

 

Bugger all over spray for a novice, well done. Love that night pic in your shed highlighting the height of the rear window. bloody marvelous.

 

WHITE???? Damn, I was thinking of painting mine white. Guess I'll stick with gray primer.
It's gonna look killer!

 

By the time I get done with the flames there ain't gonna be much white left. Go ahead Rocky. Yours won't look like mine. I promise. Did ya look at my front sheetmetal and roof insert? Flames are going to be most of the doors too.

 

Not going to leave anyone in suspense. Here is the paint scheme. Pretty subtle. Go back to page 33 and look at my top insert. I think it will actually look better on my coupe. Black pinstiping as well.

 

Paint yours Rocky. Just do it.

 

Hahaha...the thought of me painting shiny paint just scares the beJesus out of me but I'd like to have mine in shiny white someday. I'll be watching progress on yours. Lovin it so far.

 

paint it black !

 

Man after my heart! My roadster is also sporting a similar paint scheme although my car is nowhere close to half as nice as yours is.

Ya gotta love the stance on the 28 roadster Texas. The slammed coupe in background's looking mighty dangerous also.

 

is this painted yet ? for goodness sake Dale ! give us a update... lol... 36 is in for interior work...

 

No. I'm shooting for this weekend. It's taking longer to wet sand the body than I figured. It's gotta be right. I'm only doing this once. Patience grasshopper. It's coming. I'm looking for a pair of these Cal Custom rear axle covers in 5 on 51/2 if any one has a pair.

 

I'm trying to get my bomber seat covers made. Been busy after work with trying to find someone to do them. I'm getting stuff done.

 

We have white privilege . Some little runs to deal with but overall ok for a beginner.

 

Lookin' slick!!!!....

 

Thanks, I just followed instructions on the can and Whoop there it is!

 

Looks great!I may have missed it what colour will the flames be?
