Projects Mike Paul '30 Coupe Build

Looks awesome and congrats on the House. I know the pressure there. What’s the seat from. It fits great. Wondering because I’m at that point.

 

It’s a Dodge Caravan middle seat

 

Another thread to bookmark. Thanks for posting the great pics Mike, Outstanding.

Sweet build so far sir. Mine's in the home stretch on the build side as it's in paint right now then on to final ***embly. used the caravan seat as well, they just fit perfect. Here's the finished product.

 

Heard they do. Guess I’m going that route. Like a 90s or mid 2000s?

 

2000's

 

Being that I have a little more time in the shop these days till my Millwright job picks back up I’m dedicating it to my coupe. All the major welding and panel work is done I just have fit the louvered deck lid skin and finish the door tops and it should be ready for bodywork.

 

Hell yea !

 

Thats cool

 

that is a Throne !

 

I'm glad to see you back on this build, Mike!

 

Good Lord that's an aggressive chop. I can't wait to see it painted. Looking good. Keep us posted on your progress.

Nice!

 

Car looks great! I'm jealous of your workspace. Mike

 

Looking great, a lot of nice work done and more than I realized had to happen

 

Diggit

 

I’ve only been able to work on the coupe here and there over the last couple years. My job got busy, I built a new shop, and did a bunch of work on my ‘63 C10. On the coupe I was able to get the floors done and the pedals hung. I’ll get some more pics today of the floors

 

I also tore down the 331 Cadillac and got it sent off to the machine shop. Ordered a cam from Schneider yesterday. Will probably be ordering the pistons soon.

 

Awesome

 

Floors

 

NICE! Just want you to know the fine details like the rivets do get noticed. Bob

 

Very nice . . . how did I miss this thread !

 

Serious Skillz...Youre gonna have nothin to do but thrash that A when it finished....

 

Pretty friggin' slick... I think it makes the overall car look beefier, if you know what I mean....in a good way.

 

Ok, the Tudor doors are longer than Coupe, is there a contour change? I don't fully understand the inner door frame getting notched. quarters and cowl stay the same and the body is now longer because the doors are longer, I don't see the over door section getting lengthened. Will a stock A hood now work on the '32 frame? I'm a big fan of subtle changes. Bob

 

here’s a couple pictures of the quarters and cowl
I braced the inside of the body and kind of levitated it 2” above the table. Then I used Tudor sedan subrails to stretch the door opening. I also had to add to the length of the roof by where the visor attaches.
