Hot Rods Curbspeed Coupe. "Holy Hell" 10/4/2020

LOVE it! Super clean.

Oh yeah I got that Lucas generator with the tach drive on the back, I haven't measured it yet, but it's a bit smaller than a stock 50's ford unit... I'll pm you some details tmw.

 

Thanks. I will be need that someday soon. Thanks for props. I had fun with this job. Now I gotta get back on the rear floor area. But I think I will build my accessorry panel first.

 

Hack! Kind off missing building a car here.

 

Thanks Dougie! I just about spit my Milwaukwee's Best out my nose. Love ya brother!

 

Don't listen to Doug look at what he builds,haha.The dash looks great.

 

Very nice...still watching. I ran into the same dash issue [windshield regulator placement] so I used the top rail of the 34 ford dash and the bottom 2/3rds of a 34 chevy dash...welded 'em together.
You'll have a locking glove box...mine won't.

 

That Dash is Crazy cool!

 

Rocky, Do you have pictures of your dash on your build thread? I wanna see that. I will be able to have a deep glovebox to lockup my chit when I'm at shows. I will build a steel glovebox to fit in there.
See Steve. I did use the dash after all this time. I'm slow but consistant. Or is that consistantly slow?

 

Oh how I love this thread

 

Yeah, it isn't finished yet but you'll get the idea...there are photos on my build thread but here's a photo.

 

You've got your side windshield moldings in backwards.

 

Thanks, Whoops! I have to modify them anyways after I chop the car. They will get blended into the dash a little bit.

 

I'm working on it Steve, just don't have anything to do.

 

Hey Dale, looks great !

 

Thanks Rob. You got any 1949 Ford chrome dash knobs,bezels,switches. I don't need any defrost cables here in the desert! Ha! I wanna use them on this dash. Anyone can respond as well.

 

Great build. You've got a nice collection of parts the really work well together...

 

I got plenty for u to do. Will bring one up.

 

That dash looks killer! Love the direction this build is going!

 

Went to the platers today to pick up a couple of pieces that I got chromed. I took a raised steering hoop and modified it some. Kinda gave it an Art Deco look I think, I was pretty pleased with how it came out. This will add some strenght to it as well as looking a little more custom. The other part was one of my small Eelco peanut breathers. I am still looking for a couple more if anyone sees it and has some. Cheers

 

John, You should come by and have a looksee. I will be around most of the week. I would like to get a gameplan on finishing those carbs up. I got my intake powdercoated black and it is ready to go.

 

Wow! All is lookin' great! Love that steering arm! Nice piece for sure!

 

Scott, I am sorry it never worked out for me to stop by your shop when I was over there. I have not had anymore cars to haul to LB lately. I will get by sometime and hook up with you. Thanks Dale----- I might make it over for the car show in Pomona in Jan.

 

No worries buddy! Maybe I'll see you at GNRS...

Keep goin! I'm digging the updates!

 

What do you have? I have an empty bay with cold welders. I'd like to turn the heat up.

 

While it's artful for sure, it's a good idea to try to cut down on unsprung weight whenever possible. It's been suggested as a major cause of front end wobble at speed.

 

That's why I have a petite skinny wife instead of a fat plump one like a lot of car guys. To keep down on unnecessary unsprung weight. It should even out quite nicely wouldn't ya think Doug?

 

Hahaha!!!! ^^^ awesome^^^ Looks killer . I also have a petite wife, as you probably know, a rarity in Washington state.

 

I'm loving this build. Subscribed.
