Projects The Coleman Coupe gets some R&R

Discussion in 'Traditional Hot Rods' started by ct1932ford, Nov 12, 2013.

  1. Looking good, hard to stop when you are doing final assembly. Always seems to be just one more piece to install before quitting.
     
  2. That's the truth! Seems like every time I have a spare minute I am in the garage. Got the intake, carbs, fuel line, choke, throttle, vacuum lines, some brackets and base for dist. in today. :cool: Did not get a chance to take pictures:(

  3. Pretty much have everything motor wise complete. Now need to do radiator, hoses, and finish the exhaust. Fluids and sheet metal, then fire that sucker up!:cool:

  4. Hi mark, just read your entire thread your doing a great job, even with all your shoulder problems, glad to see you are only doing a freshen up and keeping this classic coupe as is was in the 60s, looks fantastic.

    Hi Mark
    Your moving right along even with the sore arm I'm sure your inspiration to many. Let me know when she's running I would like to come over and fine tune her for you. I always have the tuning tools in the roadster.

  8. Hi Ron, I will take you up on that offer! I would say another week or so and it should be ready. Hope your having a good summer. After your cross country in the roadster it should be easy. Talk to you soon. MB

    I am a Ford-bodied guy all the way, but those '33-'35 Chevy standard coupes are just as cool as Henry's Model 40's were. Neat ride.

  18. just let me know i will come over to help you put the fenders on.
     
  19. Jen, just don't give up! Just take it one step at a time and you will gain confidence as you go forward. Some times you end up doing things over as you go. It is all a learning experience. Good Luck!

    Well she's coming back together, is your shoulder?
     
  22. Shoulder feels like I am going backwards. Have not felt any improvement in a while. Thanks for asking. Working on finishing up the exhaust this week.
     
  23. Started the exhaust pipes today. Had to stop to cut grass before the rain this weekend. Did get them welded up ,just need to install tomorrow.
