Hot Rods Blowing this thing apart

Beautiful job! Your speedometer cable will be on its way tomorrow. When it comes time to get speedometer calibration dialed in, we can walk through that together and get it all dialed in.

 

What are you using to polish that glass?

 

Beautiful build, excellent quality, very inspiring.
Wishing you continued success.

 

Stay tuned, I’ll get you a link

 

3m sealant…….what could go wrong…….

 

I’ll clean this mess tomorrow after that goo sets up

 

That shit is so hard to get off a garage floor lol. I feel your pain

 

The price of some of those tubes makes you want to just go for it, but it's one of those things where practice makes perfect. Cutting the tip just right, moving the tip while squeezing the handle, it's a skill. If the stuff is big bucks, buy a cheap counterpart and write your name a few times to get the hang of it.
Those plastic scrapers are going to be the tool of choice to get things cleaned off if it doesn't peel well.

 

Why didn't you tool the sealer before it set up?

 

It’s actually easier to tidy it up after it sets

 

I actually applied the sealant to the wood frame to act as a”gasket “ to seal the wood to the roof. Any sealant on the inboard side of the frame will be covered by the steel insert. I’ll get the blobs cleaned up and start to fit the steel roof insert which will be covered to appear stock.

 

Testing fender fit and measured for new wheels

 

Love it with the fenders back on! What kind of wheels are you planning on?

 

This car was pretty sweet in the before pics, but, wow, it’s looking damn good now

 

It’s getting so close!

 

These, not sure on finish. Have quote inquiries out for chrome plating.

 

Anyone have pics of the rear fender welt install?

 

Got the deck lid on and latch installed. Look ma, no handle. I got a pick your nose (part) with a built in popper. Cable release

 

Windshield time

 

Looks good!

 

Over the top.I am taking my rad over tomorrow.

 

Who said fenders are for boats ?

 

What do you mean, officer? They didn't have them in '32 and the whole thing is a reflector!

 

The body paint hasn't been cut a buffed yet. It goes in after final assembly

 

Beautiful coupe!

 

Battery hold down

 

Floor is sealed, I hope I don’t have to get back in. Plywood will get replaced with oak.

 

Nerf bars, off the shelf.

 

Gotta be fun to see that shelf getting emptier!
