Sprayed the coupe last night. I started body work March 5th. And let me just say this last month and a half has been a pretty hard thrash to get...
Wow that means a whole lot, thank you!
They are just some I found on summit. I'm assuming they are just like a cherry bomb idea inside probably.
Another update, sprayed some epoxy primer on things. started body work. Tacked together the exhaust and built the hangers. Re did the front and...
Thank you that's great to know, I have always had trouble posting the pics on here. I'll try next time.
Here's another late update. Built the floor, then took the body off to spray black raptor liner on the entire bottom. Also I decided I wanted to...
4:50-16s up front, 7:50s-16s in back.
Thanks that means a lot! And absolutely get out there! Hahaha
I think who you may be referring to is mike Mondrella. He’s a great guy and has the dark blue caddy powerd 32 5 window. It’s a great car built by...
Haven't done an update in quite a while. The big update is I couldn't live with the front windshield. So I cut it and leaned it back. Totally...
Haven’t posted in a while. Car hasn’t changed much appearance wise because I’ve been so focused on making the inner structure and sub rails, but...
After remembering seeing your name and profile picture before, I soon remembered your thread about your father being the new owner of the chemical...

At first this picture didn’t come through but now I’ve seen it, great drawing!!! Very detailed. I’ve drawn a lot of cars (mainly during school,...
Haha I really appreciate that! Actually I never had the welding class everyone else did. I took two years of lathe and cnc machining but other...
[IMG][IMG][IMG] Welded in the driver side wheel arch, something I’ve actually been dreading for a while now and it went surprisingly fast and I’m...
Sorry for the late response, but yes you are right, I had a sport coupe that was chopped into a roadster for about a week, it just didn’t look...
[IMG][IMG][IMG] Update on the coupe, I hated the chop it had from the 50s so I needed to chop It a hair more. It now has a half inch inch wedge...
No, roadster doors are shorter making the quarters longer. Where sport coupes are “stubbier” in the back. Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
[IMG][IMG][IMG][IMG][IMG][IMG] Can’t say I’ve made any huge noticeable differences in pictures but I have made huge progress overall. Since the...
I agree completely. I’m going through all of that right now on a 5 window and just when you think your getting close, you do something and it...
Haha, Maybe I should have cut all the words out and shown just the picture itself on these. These are all just screenshots I took then posted...
I figured I’d make a post uploading some of the 32 ford sub rail pictures I have to help out others. I struggled to find pictures of complete sub...

That was part of the deal the I gladly made with the guy who previously owned it since 1967, I assured him that I would always own the car and...
The chop was done back in the 50s and is pretty poor quality as you’d expect. Fixing the chop on this car will be a big job in itself. I figured...
[IMG][IMG] [IMG] [IMG] Threw the hood on it to get a better idea what it will look like. It’s fit bad but only did that for the picture. This cars...
