    Thanks everyone!
    A little update today. Chops's all welded up and paints almost off. Also picked up a much better dash to graph to the rail.

    progress update!
    chops done, were blasted, in epoxy, and doing body work.
    cant wait to get this thing in '40 Maroon Lacquer!

    overall im really impressed with how solid this body is. only needed one lower quarter patch and a little help on the bottom of the wheel wells.

    and heres a few recent shots of a stocker 28 tudor sedan I picked up. Was hidden away in a barn for 20+ years. Fired right up with ease and is a blast to drive. Bought to clean up and move along for someone to enjoy.
    Havent listed it on the market yet but if your interested shoot me a PM.

    Well if your coupe doesn't get done you can always take that Tudor to the Roundup...

    Has been a very busy past few weeks. Ran into a few delays but everything is back on schedule. The only issue now will be dialing in the flathead for good "shakedown" drivability around Austin. Its our spring break next week and I am going to be working around the clock to get this thing to Texas. That is still the plan anyways.
    Had an issue with the epoxy so everything went back to bare metal. At that point the paint changed. No more lacquer. Theres not enough durability and will just be a pain to maintain.
    The new paint is hot rod flatz deep maroon. Grabbed the idea from El Bombero's '32 sedan. It was buffed to resemble old lacquer and looks awesome!
    Heres the pics.

    Hi Fellas,
    Here's a quick long over due update. I graduated college in May and moved back north to Ontario. Settled back in with my buddy's and managed to clear enough space in the garage for the Coupe. Everything is in paint. Just need to finish up the color sanding and buffing. The wiring is about 80% done. The flathead is running strong but no road test yet. It's really not far off now, a little work here and there on my free time and I should be banging gears before summers out. Should have plenty of time to work out the bugs so I can rip the flathead up and down the beach at the Race Of Gentlemen! For those who follow me on the Gram thanks for the kind works. For those that don't here's some recent pics. Cheers!

    No real progress in the last few months but I thought I'd post a pic of the coupe in my newly acquired shop. Well it's currently more of a horse stable at the moment but a lot of big changes are planned for the future. New plan is to have it ready for the Auto Rama in Detroit.
