    Why are you swapping the ch***is? What are your motor plans? Did I miss something?

    I'm planning to drop a '52 8BA in my '30. I'll be keeping the ch***is, fenders and full roof tho.

    Love your car - thanks for all the pics.

    Carl, he's planning on running a repop 32 ch***is with a warmed-up 327 with an auto.

    I've seen the car and it's nice. The running ch***is should make someone pretty happy. The coupe body is really nice, too.

    Agreed!
    Don't think I've ever seen one, but I like it!
    Source? Vintage aftermarket, or Ford accessory piece?

    Like the gas filler,
    but i'm scared to stand in traffic filling it if I run out, put mine on the right side...
    I ground an arch in the base on the under side for a better match to my quarter...mine was $39.00 ... DSCN1126.JPG

    This is going to be a cool car. You were wise to start with such a nice car. After doing bodywork for 30 years, I am tired of fixing rust and others attempts at bodywork. This will be a nice ride. Thanks for sharing.

    Just a question but is that radiator hose being used for fuel filler hose? Will it stand up to gas being dumped in it. There are a lot of rubber fill hoses on cars in the bone yard. I would have opted for one that was made for that use. Build looks great so far.

    agreed... I ordered a gas filler hose from some Yamaha water jet type of thing... only gas filler hose I could find that had a 2" inside diameter... should have bought a 1.75" O D. filler cap...
