Good looking car . I have questions about the front clip . Did you put a Ford front clip on the car ? If yes did you stretch the fenders ?

 

He probably set the frt. crossmember in the Ford position

 

At the Lake hughes car show right now.

Now that the weather is better; got tent garage for our '47. Been covered with a tarp since my friend sold the garage condo where I was working on it. My son pretty much put it up while tried to help. My buddy had a body guy working on his wife's '60 Chev wagon in the condo before he sold and all the bondo/primer dust went right thru the cover I had on the '47. Didn't pay much attention to it before; but really need to give it a deep clean and then back to work.

 

The Jesse Lopez recreated coupe. From the archives.

Did you grab the taillight trim ?

The owner of this coupe helped me with sourcing parts for our '46 Tudor when we were at the Scroungers Hot Rod Blowout in NZ a couple of months ago ...... thanks for your help.

 

That's cool, are you in any of my photos of the coverage of the Blow Out in the Thread i started? JW

 

Nah ..... and if so I would have blended in with the rest of the grey haired community there.
It was a fantastic event as usual ..... I spent a lot of time looking at the A coupe parked behind your RPU.
It's also ironic that your photo album of the event is extremely similar to mine.
