Projects Moving Along on my '49 Shoebox

Well, at (78) and somewhat handicapped, I am just thrilled today.
I have been working on my '49 Ford Coupe for almost two years now..
NOT whining, but have to do most all of the work in my handicap scooter, as I have a bad back, neck, and knees...
Proudly have the rough bodywork looking pretty much like I want it.
In the last week I have managed to cut out the bad floor areas, get a new master cylinder and all new brake lines & hoses in place (making a complete new brake system)
Today a friend helped me put my 1953 flathead motor in. We also changed to a 1951 Overdrive transmission.
Here are a few pictures from today, along with what I started out with two years ago.
Hopefully will be driving it next spring

 

Keep up the good work! You are inspiring to us that just think we have problems.

 

Heck yeah

 

Sic em, Bob.

 

Awesome. Go man Go!

 

Good work. Keep pushing along on your build.

 

nice coupe, you're doing great.

 

Very cool.

 

Got 'er in! Cool, Daddy-O!
Good friend, you have.
Easy to see why you're thrilled. I'm thrilled for you.
You kick ***!

 

You're an inspiration. I love it when someone shows us what they can do instead of telling us what they can't do.

Great project, I hope you are driving it come spring.

 

Keep on crankin'... you'll get there before you know it...!!!

 

Looking great ---- Just keep plugging away at it

 

I am building 50 2 door. I am 87 and also have some limitations as to what i can do, but it is something to keep me active and busy.

 

Good story.

 

Great job. Keep on pushing.
