Projects Recreating the jesse lopez coupe

As stated earlier, I welded the trim rings to the fender openings.

 

This is a lot better. I'm learning that "it's a process", thanks for the help.

 

very cool Jerry.Glad to see ur still going strong .

 

Thanks, big D, and congrats on the '40 Merc.

 

Thanks for the reminiscing, what a great car & a real credit to you.

 

Gettin there>

 

It's not how you start, it's how you finish that matters

 

what a difference 2 inches makes!!

 

Well, we're back from the cruise. The food was lousy; this might be the last one. I need to add that we have a new family member. I bought a '40 Ford coupe, something that ive always wanted. Mom and I need to see if we can get comfortable enough with this to put some miles on it.

 

Back to the JLC.

 

I thought you moved to Robson Ranch a few years ago ?

 

It was on the radar until we realized how far away from everything it was.

 

They are developing the corner of I35 and Robson Road a HEB and multiple apartments and homes and shopping center on the corner lots more traffic. When I moved to the city of Corinth on I35E just south of Denton 48 year's ago there was nothing here. But all the amenity's came now like you I am not moving. Take care Frank

 

that barris shop frontage is bad*** with the car!

 

there are some things that you have to do if you can. thanks

 

Merry Christmas and the very best to you and yours.

 

That’s really a nice car. I always wanted a Black 40n standard coupe.

 

Can we get a youtube walk around and drive on both of the cars? Like an in depth one? Might be a big ask, but I think well worth it to show em off outside the pictures. Maybe a breakdown series of all the intricacies? Just an idea. The Lopez car is the absolute pinnacle of kustoms as far as im concerned, and im looking hard at doing a chopped 41 ford in the same vein.

 

Ferdyeight, I appreciate your comments more than you know. The recreating of these cars fulfills a life long dream for a 13-year-old kid. Both of these threads contain all of the things that you just asked for. It will take some searching for them, but they are there. Thanks

 

Dan has gotten the pesky rattles under the car dealt with and now it's the squeaks in the interior. I haven't driven it yeat but I will.

 

Hey guys, I'm trying to make this car safe for myself and everybody else. Somebody thought it was a good idea to put the turn signals in the grille. The car was designed to have them on top of the headlights in that little "window" that's in the headlight bezel.
I can't find any info on them or a supplier that sells repos on these things. If someone had a pic of the turn signal pieces I could probably fab up something that would work Help!!!

I got mine from Bob Drake, works great for parking & turn signal
