Introducing my Fuel Coupe-styled Tudor

A friend of a friend has one of his cars, this guy has numerous high end cars in his collection in the Toronto area.

 

Is the pic of Johnny's car recent?
Rumored that the car went to Oz,
That Pro mod should be the
double railed car, with adjustment to
to rails .The Last 33,
I was @ Johnnys house
When Merc was finished, picking up hand me down parts, Checking out Merc , Later
I was inside car , The garage @ the main house, Johnny leaned in & asked if I would want & complete with one agreement that I would not run in Pro Mod class , To many irons in fire @ the time .
PS Glad to see car has not been destroyed /crashed and
being preserved !!

Thanks

 

Its absolutely A killer hot rod Gary. Can't wait to see you driving down the road, and some burn outs.

 

^^^^PERFECT^^^^

 

Looking bad to the bone.

 

"Precious bodily fluids":


DOT3 brake fluid.


Auto trans fluid.


Motorcraft Friction Modifier Additive XL-3 & 80W-90 gear oil.

 

That friction modifier is a terrible smelling product

 

Getting close!

 

Brake bleeding revealed a previous mistake.
Remember my ginchy brake lines routed discreetly above the pedal bracket on the bare chassis?


Once the floorboards were welded in place, those fittings became inaccessible. And of course, they dripped DOT3.


I reluctantly cut a small access hole in the floor to get a flare wrench on 'em.


But had to enlarge it... Three times.


Tightened 'em and finally got a hard pedal with no drips.


Now to hang and latch the doors.

 

Story of my life.

 

Ugh that’s frustrating. Keep at it man

 

What's those Jim Crocche song lyrics "Isn't that the way they say it goes"

I've still got a drip out of my line lock on the Henry J under hard pressure, tightened it, loosened it, re-tightened it, took the adapter out and teflon taped it, damn thing is driving me crazy.

 

Those little brake fluid drips are such a pain in the ass. I feel your pain, have been there to many times.

 

Been there too ! You actually helped me stop mine from leaking !

 

Bratton's repro hardware is excellent quality and only an hour's drive away.

 

So close!!

 

Looks great! Man that suckers bright!

 

Thanks, fellas. Got a couple of bugs to work out before it's first drive around the block.

 

I just saw the thread from page 1, 2, 3 to 4, then I skipped to the last one because I couldn't resist! But from page number 1 already knew this was an excellent project and very well done with the technique and details of a correct period also. Congrats... The “not-too-wild” phrase made my day...

 

Dude it’s not bugs it’s just tired! Ya got the dang thing tucked in under the blankets it’s to cozy! Peel those things back and tell it it’s time to go to school get your butt moving kiddo!

 

What happened with the coolant Gary?

 

Karb Kings having their show at Sumerduck Dragway again this fall. Can't wait to see it making some passes

 

Looks like Gary & other of Us plain ahead to prevent a mess & still happens
