Projects A late introduction-Junior Conway coupe build

Almost ready for some color.

 

Re: Here we go.

 

Now you're just teasing us.

 

I hear ya'. I have slowed down the posting since the build's been completed. However, in this case Terry is including other business work while doing this job. I'm frustrated too.

 

It doesn't look like it is too far from being done. It should look great though.

 

Here's some doors.

 

Now we're getting somewhere. Any new pictures of the car just to keep up entertained?

 

Ok, I'm figuring out what it's going to take to pack this display up. There's some big bulky items. The largest are the bags that hold the carpet. It's a grey (parking lot) color. It locks together and it will carpet a 20x 20 area. Gary at Texas Show Cars is telling me I will have the best spot or close to it. A bit different than the Dallas show. So, you can see my solution to the carpet storage problem.

 

The trunk I can see, but I wouldn't like having to put in in the back seat.

 

One of the (many) cool things I found out about Jr's car was that he drove it every day. It was his only mode of transportation. As it aged, he continued to show it. He just kept touching up the paint chips. It continued to be a magazine car. This means that the more it wears, the more authentic it becomes. Kinda like the difference between the Moody Blues and the early Foo Fighters.

Seasoning the sanding buckets

 

That's makes sense. Of course, I would drive it and use the same way. After all the time, money and energy you put into it, it would be a shame not to drive it and use it.

That is going to be wild! Looks great so far.

I wanted to see them together. I hope you don't mind. Are you going to have the shadows and everything?

 

Yup.

That's lookin' good.

 

Put any miles on that car???

 

I think I got about 500 miles on it.

 

Oh, wait. My odometer doesn't work. Maybe it's closer to 100 miles. The differance between this car and Jr's is it's not my only car, and I don't have anywhere to go!

You got an ice cream joint or donut shop over there, don't ya?

 

You know, I'll have to look but, we just might.

When is the next outing for the car? Any shows or local meets? The building is looking good!

 

All this current activity is for the Fort Worth Motorama this coming weekend. Move in is tommorrow and Thursday. The show opens Friday.

 

The window gets it's "clutter."
