****41 ford chop....shop build pics ***

Looks great brother!!! I like that mocked up tail light !!!

 

...

 

Very Kool, It is gonna be fun watching you finish the coupe this winter.

 

Some more....

 

the new ch***is, is done, working on wiring, plumbing, and all that. It was way to hot this summer and I didnt get much done, but now it's on....

 

Chromed Dash!! Oh my, I can't wait to see it tomorrow.



Happy Trails, Mick

 

So Mick is that a hint you're going to be across the border thursday?

 

Yes I am, Oklahoma ****s! Gotta go on a small road trip.

 

I am really enjoying my bead roller, and have had a good time building new floorpans, the 41 is coming along and will see primer soon.

 

Jeff, looks like I need to make another trip to Koolsville! This time the BBQ is on me though.

Mick if you're going to be up this way, just go ahead and blow off work on Friday and come up to the Bluesmasters concert in Salina. I'll find a way to get ya as little VIP treatment as possible We will be cutting records so I will be a bit pre-occupied for 17 min at a time...

 

Looks great Finkd. I'm a big fan of yours.

 

getting more done, floors done, seats cut down and mounted. working on garnish moldings. I want to chrome them so hope they come out good.

 

slight change, man I didn't realize how much the top has changed....DANG...

 

Looking good. You know we're all watching this one! Keep it up.

 

sorry to keep you guys hanging soo long. I usually don't take this long to build a car, but had to do ch***is, and everything, and then was really busy with insurance work this summer and with the 110 heat it was impossible. now it's on !!! hope to move along kinda fast now. thanks for following!!

 

Glad to see you back on this one ,I am loving what you are doing with it!

 

Always good to see updates from Jeff! Can't wait to see this ride all finished, but I should stop by and take some more in progress shots

 

just jumped in on this thread,car looks good,the qtr windows are killing it,stand back and look at the car one more time,before the mud starts flowing.I'm anti drip rail.just my 2 cents.Have fun.

 

Very interesting read. Thanks for sharing. Great work so far!

 

I agree... please take the car outside... put some wheels on it, get it to sit right so you can see and feel the flow of the car... (or perhaps the lack of it). And walk around it many times... take some photos, and perhaps even put it up on the Photoshop request thread for somebody to "finish it".
As a 1980's street rod or anything with a forward rake the rear quarter windows might look good. The short stubby look will enhance that feel. But if you go for a Custom Car look with a nice speed boat rake, then you really need that long and flowing rear quarter window. and you might be sorry in the end if you leave them like they are now.
Fantastic work though...

 

You all are making all good points but you need to see the Coupe in person to appreciate
the flow. When he is finished, you will see that the profile will be purrfect. One of the
kool aspects of Jeff’s projects, he is he is willing to try something different and that is
brave to do. It would be easy if everyone cloned a kustom but he is willing to push the
builds into a new direction. That is so kool…

Happy Trails, Mick

 

Looking great Jeff!!!

 

So Jeffe how many antennas does that have?

BeGood Hope i see you soon?
