Projects A late introduction-Junior Conway coupe build

HOT DAMN! I JUST BOUGHT A RESTORED '55 MERC STEERING WHEEL. Thanks for the heads up Marcus. The power of the H.A.MB..

 

Looking good. Right down to every detail, except I don't think they had yellow plug wires back then? Glad i could help selling you the correct steering wheel. Bossy.

 

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. One of the "things" I thought would be alright.

 

Just keep goin'.

 

Looks fantastic... every new set of photos you post the car looks better and better. This must be so excited for you and your great team of people building the car.
Oh and don't forget to paint the bolds behind the grille satin black... nothing worse than those things showing thru that perfect grille.

 

Can't wait to see it done!!

 

I do appreciate and consider the input. It looks like I needed a little push regarding the spark plug wires. Always appreciate your input Rik. The grille isn't a final (installation) yet. A little raggedy on the tips from the plater.

 

Installed.

 

Waiting for the hood latch components (on the hood) to come back from the chrome shop to adjust hood to fit.

 

jivin jer, any luck on the ripple pipe? Sorry in advance if some had posted the pipe being located for him or did contact him to what had happened. Thank you mucho The235Kid, hope all is well..

 

The best way to disrcibe it at this point is, in process.+++

 

So sweet!

One of my all time favorite Kustoms. You guys are doing an awesome job of recreating it.

 

Sent you a pm on those sticks.

 

Thanks Kid.

 

If you get me your address I'll ship them first thing in the morning. UPS

 

Check my previous pm to you. M.O. coming in tomorrows mail. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

 

props to THE235KID , way to go !

 

The 2 NOS ripple pipe sticks for your lakes pipes are in the mail as of noon today. I got lucky and found a big stash of them!

I sent a tracking number to your PM box.

Make sure your chrome guy knows they have a zinc coating. They will need to be blasted or stripped before welding and plating.

Have fun with them. I'm happy I could contribute to the project!

 

Mucho Gracias!

 

There was a big truck that dropped these off. Does the mailman have competition? I'm lovin this.

 

I got a delivery conformation on the ripple pipes. Did you get them and are they what you need?

 

We now have dueling mailpersons.

I do feel very fortunate being able to get these particular items.

 

Glad you got them. I can't wait to see them on the car.

 

Did you guys weld em up at the shop,or did you have the plater do it?

 

Baby's got a new pair of shoe's.

 

We gas welded them in the shop after bending. The best thing to do is weld them and fit them perfect. Just don't do any grinding. Let the chrome shop do it. Our guy did an amazing job. North Texas Quality Chrome in Gainesville. Jackie is a bad ass!

 

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I know about Jackie.

 

Now this is much better. Many thanks to Pete at/and Hatfield Restorations.

 

Glad I could help. These are from a personal stash. Thanks for the props for the shop though!

If there is anything else I can do let me know.

 

Way to go KID !
