Projects The John Mearns '32 Coupe

You need some Benny Hill music playing in the background of this video

 

At that rate , the car will be done by the weekend! How much red bull ?

 

What kind of brake drums are these front brakes? They looks like the ones that were under the '37 chevy I have apart.

 

Lincoln !

Would that be Hot Rod Lincoln ?

 

Thanks for the video, I appreciate being able to see all the little details a focused photo might leave hidden in the background

 

Looking really good. @Ryan What is the Eastwood intake paint it looks sharp?

 

Stabilizer? You sufferin' from death wobble or something? Lol

 

Cool video. I like the grill

Maybe move your tie rod to the back lol

 

Insane build! The MT drums I am using look like those, with BASS self energizing backing plates. Thank you for sharing this project.

 

I need to point out that the grill center bar material was given to me by Darryl Hollenbeck (yes, THE AMBR winner). I did not know Darryl at all and took a chance on contacting him thru Facebook to ask where he got the material for his center bar... and he just gave me a piece. He and Terri are such nice people. Credit where credit is due.

 

Oh, and thanks for the photos and video Ryan. Your narration skills drop off a bit when you are on pain meds but I got a chuckle out of you asking Kieth "who's the dude that painted this thing?' Lance Nguyen did the paint. He is a young up and comer in Austin and he has done a great job on my coupe. Thank Lance!!

 

I'm having a really hard time concentrating on my work today after seeing these photos. It's like having a naked chick standing right out side my window and trying not to look at her. I just want to stare.

 

Looking beautifully classic Hot Rod. Delicious in all it's details! Thanks fellas. TEB

Hi John,
After Tania and I visited you guys we talked about how I had to get back on the HAMB again. I'm looking forward to reading back through this and your road trips. The coupe is looking UNREAL!
Thanks,
Greg & Tania

 

Awesome build, don't bother making the script on the hubcaps parallel to the ground, they won't, or better not stay that way long!

 

So where did the material come from? Love the look of the grille

 

I never found out where Darryl got it....he just sent me a piece.

 

Greg and Tania,

So fun to have you at the Y-not for a stay. I'm pretty excited about this car. It has been over a decade of daydreaming about it and now I'm close to driving it.

 

Looks so smokin', can we get a shot on the ground without the deluxe caps on the wheels?

 

I love that the Rex Rods logo is in so many of the build photos. I especially like the ones like this (above post) that have the logo as a reflection in the photo. Another one I liked was from the day the gauges went in and Keith's logo on his work shirt was visible in the domed glass lens. Nice work Ryan.
