Projects My Deuce Coupe Project

Been very interesting watching your build (and learning a lot) I'm in the same process with my 34' chev, chassis done now on to the body. Keep your progress coming!!

 

Looks good gjp1. Keep going.

I had to take my chassis back to paint because I forgot to plug up the Fender pilot holes that were in the new rail. So one side of the rail is being repainted.

The body is also receiving some Filling before the initial Primer.

 

Progress continues slowly.
The Body is in Primer, where it will sit for 3 weeks before it has it's first Block back.

I'm continuing with assembly.
Engine and brake system is in. I'm now waiting on the Leaf Spring Teflon Liners to be delivered before I can install the Front & Rear suspensions.

 

Looking great mate, looking forward to seeing your updates

 

Shiny Bits starting to go on now.

 

Purdy

 

BEAUTIFUL !!!
Your attention to detail is great.

 

Jimmy
Thanks so much for the info on the fan shroud. Apologize for the very late "Thank You". Been away for awhile. Regards
Jim

 

Looking fantastic Jim! Going to be a beautiful rod . Proud to have played my part.

 

Your build is coming along similar to mine (probably faster!) Looks very nice, you'll have a cool Hot Rod!

 

Engine looks like a jewel [emoji106]

 

Thanks Ben.... And what a major part that was you played. So glad you were involved.
I hope I get it finished for you to drive before you take off.

 

A few more bits went on.... and some came off and went back on for the third time, namely the rear spring back. It was not sitting correctly, so I took it out and made sure the leaves were matched to the wear groves, and then re-assembled and fitted it. Now I'm happy with it.

 

The chassis is back on all fours again, although I've taken the rear wheels off again to give me more room to fit the Exhaust.
The exhaust now needs to be sanded, painted and fitted, then Battery cable, fuel lines, the remote oil filter and it's done.
The body has had the first Primer rubdown. It will have another layer of Primer applied and rub down before the final Primer layer and rubdown for Paint..... Probably 3-4 weeks away.

 

Yeah Thommo, full stainless Lowsquire built.
You can see a bit of it in the bottom left corner of the last pic. So I need to sand it to get the paint to bite into it.

 

Nah... I don't want the exhaust highlighted at the rear. I want it to just blend in and be hidden. The Sinister Black look is what I'm after... Similar to 3wLarry's master creation below.

 

Bodywork moving slower than I would have liked. I gave him a Rev up on the week end, so hopefully only a couple weeks left.

 

Well done Jimmy

 

Looking great Oz [emoji106]

 

Body work is moving along.



Door Gaps all done.

 

It's Door Hinge polishing time.
Here is a before & after pic, after the first step... 120 Grit.
Next is the 800 rub and then a final 1500 rub before they are buffed and Cleared, for nothing looks nicer than polished Brass.

 

Brass? mine are steel.

 

Last pice of the puzzle before I can call my Frame assembly complete.
Heat Proof Ceramic coated exhaust from HPC, Vic.

 

Looking sweet Oz [emoji106]

 

Looks good when fitted, but bolts need to be painted Black.

 

Great looking build/work - it will be a killer ride ...
