The Coupe-De-CAB is getting "new look" this month

Steve - Can I ask how they mounted the firewall to the cowl below the screw in the indent on each side? Did they spot weld it after it was painted? It looks great.

 

Can't wait to see the black scallops. Looking mighty Fine!!

 

funny you ask, it's actually not fully mounted/bolted down yet to the cowl ( just the top screws are in). but Alex is going to drill 3 new wholes on each side of the cowl and put a nuts and bolts through them to secure it to the cowl. these new Brookville firewalls don't really match up correctly on an original Ford body, seems like they build them to line up to fit their own bodies he's going to have to drill out the indented part of my cowl to match/line it up correctly to fit the screw in, then proceed to drill the next three bottom holes in my cowl and secure the rest of it. no welding will be done, it would ruin what he has painted already.

 

I LIKE! Those Guide headlights are gonna be the tits on there. Speaking of which, I'm sending them Insured Priority Mail instead of UPS. UPS beats the shit outta everything. Larry

 

fuck yeah!! thats looks great!!!!

 

Larry,
Once again...a many thanks to you and i'll look for them in the mail
Once i get them painted... i'll post new pics!
your definitely right about UPS, they love throwing them boxes around like their beach balls

also... glad you shaved the mullet off as well, you look way more handsome without it have fun at the Drags, wish i could attend!
best wishes,
CAB

Hey CAB,

Awesome lookin' paintjob on that thing! I was lookin' at a photo of it in the green w/scallops in my copy of "Classic Hot Rods" and was just admiring the sense of taste you have! Whether you worked on it or not, putting together a well-proportioned and properly detailed car is a chore on it's own, I'd say!

Can't wait to see it completely done! Congrats on the new look!

Looks great CAB. It's comin' together nice.


What's the plan for the roof insert?

 

I saw the coupe in person the other day and the pics don't do it any justice. This car is bad ass. Alex does great work. He helped me out with some hydraulic work I needed done. There's nothing he can't do.

 

Looking great...can't wait to see it done....Gonna be ready for Billetproof Steve?

 

Hey Steve What are you going to do whith all the chicks now you know they like Gold let me know if you need some help lol

 

BAD F***ING A**!!!!

 

Thanks Dave

QQMOON,
There's only one girl i need to impress and that's my awesome girlfriend who digs hotrods

PEDDRO,
the roof insert will hopefully match the bone white firewall color.

everyone else... thanks again for the kind compliments, Alex will enjoy reading these as well!
best wishes,
CAB

 

update!
Firewall and grill shell fully mounted and screwed in now... looks awesome
Here is Alex mocking up the new Guide headlight's courtesy of 3WLARRY that will be painted gold and having the headlight rings sent out to be re-chromed. Larry ...i just want to say thanks once again for being so kind in sending me these for my coupe build and i appreciate it very, very much, i owe you/Ryan big time ...The HAMB rules!


My rims are getting sprayed gloss black this weekend, can't wait to see how they came out.
more up dates when i get back from Canada.
stay tuned,
CAB

 

..............sure would look nice in a Rodder's Journal spread!!

 

That's a really nice gold. Almost bronzish. It looks great!

 

Have you trial fitted the repop trunklid yet? How does it fit? I heard some of them don't

 

You think it'll make it to billet prooF???

 

fits like crap and this is the second attempt and this one isn't even warped Alex will do what he can to make it fit right and as flush as can be He was really bummed when we got the thing and it didn't match up right.
