Projects Tony Miller's Custom 40 Ford Convertible

Very nice!

 

Just a teaser. The aluminum structure for the top is complete (some adjustments made after this picture was taken) and the car is now apart for paint and ch***is detailing. Don is planning to do a show-and-tell about building the top, so I won't steal his thunder:

 

Looking forward to seeing the finished product!!!

 

Nice to see more progress on this beauty!

 

Great looking top. It looks clean and not too heavy.

 

Thanks, guys!

 

Piece of art right here... Wow.

 

Forties fuel filler door.... Smoooooth

Now thats funny

 

Nothing to report that's very photogenic:

 

That is the beauty of real progress.

 

Tony, mine is 99% done and finally able to drive it again.....

 

Beautiful, Ron! Congratulations!

 

Thanks Tony, it certainly was worth the effort and the wait !!!! Good friend Shaun Hopkins, did a wonderful job over the last two years !

 

Will we see it in early 2017????

 

That's the plan. It's going in the paint booth as we speak.

 

HOT DAMN!!

 

That's what I said, too!

 

About time

 

Wellllll,.......will we see it in 2017?

 

I'm hopeful that we'll see it painted sometime in November. Then it's off to Mr. Chavers for top and interior, and my fingers are crossed for a debut at the GNRS in January.

 

Apologies for the double post. I was a page off and didn't see the recent chat. I am excited for you!

 

If you need any help getting ready for GNRS I can be around.

 

Ahhh-Sanding-Sanding and more Sanding-then paint-then More sanding...
That wonderful time of the build when you say goodbye to your fingerprints.
Gonna look great when its all done!

 

All that sanding pays off. This still needs to be cut & buffed.

 

Purdy!

 

WOOHOO!

 

Perfect hue.

 

Wow!!!! that is some kind of pretty!

 

Ch***is is nearly together again, with final finishes in place:

...and everything that's supposed to be blue, now is:
That was the good news. The bad news is, we're unlikely to debut at GNRS. Del Mar or Santa Maria, probably.
