Projects 30 Model a tudor build first build ever

Well still plugging away at the ol
Tudor we painted the body and got it back down on the frame for the last time
Hopefully. Now little body work, paint preop and roof install

 

Well time to build another paint booth lol we're getting pretty good at it. For once in 10years it will be the same color. First high build primer then some color. Prib going to go with massey ferguson grey and black belt line , but Subject to change. We ordered new roof canvas kit and aluminum drip rails trying to bend them wasn't that fun or near as perfect so we'll see. Anyone happen to have a good set of drip rails please let me know

 

It's finally one color

 

Well we have 3 coats of color not to bad for first ever paint job

 

Just read through your thread, awesome job sticking with it! Looks like you've come a long ways, cant wait to see where it ends up. Keep posting!

 

Sit in a chopped one at a swap meet or car show and see if you like it. I would prefer stock height which is you could probably guess looking at my AVATAR. Of course what you do under the hood is another topic.

Update getting closer thr interior and belt line are painted. Still have some smalls I need to paint,but had to get the big stuff out of the way to bring my 36 5window back home lol.

 

And it keeps on going! eventually I'll be able to start putting it back together

 

Here she is in all her glory. Ordered all glass and channels/hardware to install and fuel system. once that's all in the real assembly will really start!!

 

Awesome job.
Satisfaction level has to be high?
Skip

 

Definitely who would have known I could do that lolol. Definitely have to give mention to my old lady she pushes me to do most . it's nice to to have that push. I'm just ready to have it on the road and enjoy it after 11years this Oct I believe

 

So we'll skip forward some engine and trans are installed , she installed the wiring harness and we got it fired off, chasing some gremlins in the wiring but she runs, so close to the first drive!!

 

So we have officially had the first test drive after long 12years!!! I let the wife have the honor of first test drive for all the hard work she put in with me and push to get us where we are. Still have some kinks to work out but its a driver!!!! Have a video but dont know how to upload it on here like pictures

 

You have to load the video on Youtube and then post the link on here

 

- also if you film in verticlenformstnit typically wont imbed so try for horizontal video longer than 30 seconds for imbedded video-

kick ass! Congrats that’s a huge mountain to have climbed!
