29Jay Model A Sedan Progress Report

Gary... Mike's Auto Glass in Euless... 63Dan63 used him and refered him... I'll let you know how it goes. he is suposed to be close by Sunday. I'm expecting 2 weeks though...

 

I HAVE used MIke thru the years, pretty fair guy, sometimes not always on time ,but he has been doing it forever. He installed the front and rear glass on my 57 big window truck for a Bill..

 

Yep, that is what I heard... take the amount of time he tells you and double it, or subtract two weeks from your "real" dead line. it goes back to the old saying "you can have it good, fast or cheap. Pick any two"

If he is good and slow, that wil work for me.

 

cars bitchin!!! hope mine will come out half as nice, sorry to hear about your trans issues though....

 

Thanks bud! Just do every thing 3 times... or 4, it will look like your good at by then and you can say you've done it before...

 

Just talked to Mike, he said it the glass is done! A few touch ups and I can pick it up! He said he will email picks... I'll post them as soon as I get them...

 

Car looks great, your almost there.

 

I picked the sedan up yesterday from the glass guy...

 

Looking GREAT, way to stick with it!

 

I handed the my interior guy some cash yesterday to buy materials to get started. tuck & roll White/silver flake vinyl w/ black accents... I have to get the seat base built today so he can start making covers for them.

 

Looking good jay !

 

I almost finished cutting the insulation... it is not glued in yet and I still have some edges to finish out.... I also ordered the Eastwood version of Dynamat... (back ordered) I built the seat frames so they would bolt to the 1" tubing under the floor... I trimed up the rough edges on the seats... Rick dropped off the 1st panel he sewed so I could get excited about it...

 

Second panel and the carpet were dropped off this evening... He took the other seat... We are getting closer...

 

The car is looking awsome, cant wait to see the interior done

 

^^ Thanks man, I'm getting excited to have the carpet down and bolt the seats in and go for a drive... I snapped a pic of the 2nd panel Rick dropped off... It will cover the trans tunel fron to rear...

 

Hazmat came by to sling some paint on the gas tank...

 

My buddy Jimmy and his little monster came over Saturday afternoon to help me finish up the wirering. I finished the insulation...

 

Rick dropped by to cut carpet and drop off a seat and the dash... Load in for Autorama is THIS Thursday...

 

looks great!

 

Way to go!
I'll stop by at the show on Saturday and say howdy.

Dan

 

^^ Dan, I plan on being there middle afternoon on Sat... give me a shout...

 

Jay....your interior is looking really good and that gas tank is Kickass!

 

^^ Thanks King! Hazmat is THE MAN!!!

 

comming together a little at a time... Dropped her off at Autorama last night... door panels arrived this moring...

 

Gonna need a hand on the 'installation'?

 

Looking good Jay.That gas tank striping is pretty damn nice!

 

It all looks great Jay.
Must feel pretty good getting near the end of the journey !!

 

What is the wheel base measurement for this build?

Thanks...

 

I have not put a tape one in awhile... I think it is 117". After Autorama, I need to spend a lot of time with a tape to get all of the allingments done. I will get you an exact number...

Thanks Big Ken for the diet coke last night... It made the wife happy.

Djust: Yes, the light is at the end... I want to break this girl in and start putting miles on her... Around the block is all I have so far... now that I have glass and seats, I can't wait!

 

Looks great. Cool Color treatment. I tell you, you can't beat a chopped Model A. Great job.
