Here’s a bit more from the bodyshop boys… [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Very nice!
It’s a Model A Junction box….. https://www.millworkshotrod.com/products/a-ddition-a-438-x5
I like a firewall to look like it is part of the original car, not just a fabricated panel. I had to cut my firewall to get the motor to fit, so I...
I even saw myself in one of your pics! :D [ATTACH]
Can't believe I have missed this thread. I spent some time looking over your truck at Pendine last year, but having seen your thread I am looking...
We call my coupe the 'Sumbitch' because of all the skinned knuckles, burns, bruises and how many times we had to re-do the brakes, wiring, gauges,...
I have no idea unfortunately- they were already on the car.
Yes, I will thanks. The lower rear panel has to be offered up next and that will be done with the trunk lid in place. Once that is tacked in, the...
Thanks Mart. The hard work is in the body and my only real involvement with that bit is financial.
Trunk floor is going in….. [ATTACH]
The guys at the body shop did all the bracing before they took the floor out. The panel gaps were all pretty good before disassembly, so we wanted...
That sounds like a great tip. Thanks.
I'm not sure, sorry - that's another customer's car at the body shop I use. Not mine.
Here we go folks, we're back in business...... The welding on the floor has begun. The quality of the UP panels seems great on the whole. The...
Man, I love that car - wouldn't change a thing! Well done.

That’s better….[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I'm in. I scratched my itch recently and got a '40 coupe, but I didn't have the balls to go for a full-on restoration project like you have. Good...
Here's a couple more ideas for you.... [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I had a go at making some new gearbox mounts. The chassis pads are ok, so I left the gearbox in place and decided to just re-make the top halves....
I'm pretty much done with the rolling frame now. Suspension mods all seem to have worked as I had hoped and all 4 corners move up and down much...
Gear lever done. It looks a bit better than the T5 tubular unit and I will put a nice ball on the top when the body is back on. I used a Model A...
I got the rear shock brackets done and the old lower brackets cut off the axle bells, ground down and painted. The shocks are Gabriel units that...
[ATTACH] I love my Art Deco truck. I think they are one of the prettyest designs and i was lucky to find a decent one here in the UK. The rear...
They look like they will work fine. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] They just need a bit of paint before final fitting.
I made a hub puller to get the rear drums off. This will allow me to fit the new lower shock mounts. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
