How about a good outside completed shot. I just went through 13 pages to find that there is no completed picture. I love the color.

 

Maybe because it's "not done" yet
...it's only a matter of time!

News guys HUMPFH!!!

 

I never claimed to be over whelmed with patience. Can't wait to see the finished product.

 

Okay, the white vinyl top is nearly done
this is an old skate buddy of mine (Mike Griffen) that does this kind of work on the side.



exhaust, body work on the trunk ( getting ready for primer) and tail light section is tonight.
more updates tomorrow. thanks for looking,
CAB

Looks like it's close to being done now Steve, what time you guys heading out on Friday?

 

WOW... I just got back from Gambino's and the car looks amazing!!!
Scallops are done ( will ad a few more later) trunk finally finished ( still needs to be repainted and touched up) and wiring of the front head lights of the Coupe are still in progress and soon as we are finished... it's off to Antioch. looking forward to hooking up with all the Hambers i haven't met yet, please come over to the Road Zombie parking and say hello. My Coupe will be parked there you'll be able to see the amazing work Alex Gambino is capable of ...in person

best wishes,
CAB

 

Damn, does that mean this post is almost over? It was always the 'ol standby if nothing else interested me.

...........naw...........let's kick it one more time. Off today and the "little lady" says, "Let's clean the basement up a little." Since I can't get to my work desk and owe Psychoarts a panel from months ago, it didn't sound like that bad of an idea.
Moving boxes from one place to another and I hit the mother lode!! A box full of assorted bullshit from my past. (and when you're as old as I am, there is some cool old shit in there!)
Long story a little shorter...........found this and gave it a closer look and guess who?????



................yep, the dude hisself! April/May 1979

 

For those of you who can't wait for the "official photos", here are a few unauthorized spy shots of Cab's coupe from the grand unveiling today at Billetproof:

Wow
Knock Down drop dead gorgeous.
Whare did you get one of those rear window signs??
I want one!
Your coupe is great>

 

So exactly how old is Steve if this pic was taken in '79?

 

Wow, the Coppa Coupe, I like's dat.



Looks great Steve, congrats bro!

 

Godddammmmm that looks so damn good. I think I'm officially a sucker for black and gold. Hook line and sinker. Between this, I believe it's Alex's '54 Chevy, and that '64 Chevy pickup that Roddin28 posted the other day, I'm droolin' all over the place.

That is a nice damn car,It feels good to have somthing with your own flavor,Are you going to trim the scallops in white?

 

Thats bad ass...
its been worth the wait and turned out just as i thought it would.

alex did a great job.

So will your new board have a graphic of the new "car" on it?

have fun with it.

 

Beautiful Rod with a nice touch in the rear window...

 

......for those that don't know, there were only 5 (I think?) of those plaques made up and auctioned off to benefit the HAMB. The winning bidders put some great money for them and they are very coveted. Cab has one, "Tommy" has one and I'm not sure where the others are................

 

The car looks amazing, but you know one of my favorite things about the whole package??? I know Cab's gonna drive that thing all over the place.....

 

You know it see ya at the next car show!
by the way...i sent your Hamb auction package yesterday, let me know when it get's to ya.

SkateFink,
there were six toppers made and DragLinkscc has or had? ... one of them.

Hello all,
Just wanted to give credit where credit is due on this complete rebuild that should have taken a bout a year, but with all the hard work that Alex Gambino (road zombie) and friends accomplished it only took 3 months in the making!

first and foremost to Alex @ Gambino Kustoms for everything he touched on my Model A from Body work, welding, primer and paint, wiring and the final assembly, you name it, he did it!

...also who work at Gambino kustoms from time to time:
Jason Pierotti (road zombie) for prep, blocking and shiny paint on the Firewall, dash and all the doors and jams.

Jesse " chuch" for body work, primer and final assembly of the car.


another special thanks to those people who don't work at Gambino kustoms but came by to help:
Larry Smith (road zombie) for engine work and on road adjustments.
Mike Griffin for the vinyl top upholstery work.

another thanks for coming by to help out once in awhile:
Bill Gonzalez (road zombie)
Ruben " RJ" Diaz (road zombie)
Ron Stanley (road zombie)
David Gambino
"Kool Kat" Johnny
Aaron Crozier
and Willy and Joey @ Debonaire auto body for usage of their paint booth to paint the body!

If it wasn't for all these people the car would have never been done for Billetproof ( car still not completely done, but it it's almost there)
just needs a few things here and there, i'm giving Alex a break since he's been working non stop on it day in and day out sleeping at the shop, that's dedication!
Thanks for keeping this post going and lurking on it from time to time ... it's been fun and thanks for the support of the rebuild of my Model A.
best wishes and time to take her out for spin.
