Hot Rods pompadours model a coupe build

Oh my god!!! are those radials on that??

 

Sorry I should have put up a disclaimer....But actually I am going to run the piecrust slicks which are capped on radial tires...I am running motorcycle tires in the front which are also the R word...Sorry...Wait till you see the front tires your wont even notice

 

Very Very Very bad shot but heres a picture of the front tire...The shop was so smokey from grinding and the light the picture came out so bad...sorry in advance

 

Couple of pictures before I pulled it apart...





Built a body table and pulled the frame apart to attack the subrails and patches....

















Drivers side is next week and then the patches...

 

Kid loves radials

 

Haha

 

Great build man keep it up!

 

fun build!

 

Thanks...I'm trying to hammer away on it..

 

look'n good keep the pics coming

 

any plans on a HOPEFULL completion date??

 

Well I want to have it running and driving by next season.... Cross my fingers

 

Never mind crossin your fingers...we're gonna hold you to it!

 

Nice, keep us updated please.

 

Ill see what I can do...

 

Nice work you're doing there bud, keep us updated, we're watchin'

 

Thanks grits... Your car is killer too

 

Hey pomp, where did you get those spacers?, I need a set for my other project.
Thanks

 

I found them on evilbay

 

When mounting a f1 box do you guys box in the frame or just blow a hole? Any pictures to help me out

 

Anyone?

 

I got some 48's today from a friend and soaked them for a few hours and pulled them all apart and they came apart real nice...I guess they didnt need the soak... They are real nice inside...I'm stoked!

 

that's funny, I just got this kick *** book and it's like brand new. I didn't even have to soak it in oil. Enjoy the carb's and thanks for the book. If you haven't seen the piecrust magazine yet order one up now.

 

I got my subrails and some patches in last night with help from a couple buddys ... Picts tonight

 

I soaked the carbs and pulled them all apart and cleaned them. Now I need to blast them and paint them...They work great... I need to pick up a couple rebuild kits. ...Also if anyone has anymore good 48's let me know I need a few more....

 

good looking start

 

Here are some pictures from last night...I put the other subrail in on the drivers side...Then the rear corner patches and then the rear quarter patches...Hung the doors with "special" zinc coated nails(just kidding about the special part of that)...I have new pins for the doors but they need to be drilled out first...




Wow those rear corner patches were really poorly made...

 

looking good. hows your tan from all that closed eyes tacking?

 

My face is dry...Nice even tan though!

 

I got wood...My header wood that is...Tuesday I'm heading to the garage to hammer down and get the rest patches roughed in !!
