28 Coupe Build

This build is exceptional. There are some really great details within this thread.

 

post the video to youtube and copy the URL over to here......we are anxious to here that run

 

Awsome....Super nice Build.

 

Man, what a great job you've done. (I came down to your place with Mike L. when you sold a " roller" to Ronnie W.) That's going to be one sharp rig!

Thanks guys, it’s coming together
Let’s see if this works
It had just fired it and was around 2k rpm I started to take the video, notice no water temp yet but it came up to around 190 and stayed .

Thank you I appreciate it, I’ve learned so much on this car.

 

This may be your first hot rod build, but it's definitely not your fist Rodeo guy. Amazing work.

 

Always makes me nervous when you first start a new motor and things start smoking! That sounds killer, and the side by side intake is super cool.

amazing build, thx for sharing with us

 

Picked up a new condenser from vertex and it fired back up so that’s a good sign. I was able to pick up the marks with a timining light which is a crapshoot with mags. It’s steady at 32 degrees so I think the mag is good to go now.
Here’s a quick video with a couple blap blaps !

Yowza Joe! Looks and sounds great. You have come a long way in a short amount of time. See you out there

 

Somehow became unsubscribed to your thread. I missed a lot of great work. Engine sounds healthy!

 

Is it off to the sand blaster today??

Prime & block and prime & block....... hopefully someday soon some paint???

 

Little bit closer

Fit up the belt line and put the final coat of primer on.

Sealed up and painted the floors


Then shot the inside over the weekend
Hope to paint the outside in a couple weeks

 

Couple things to button up but very close to ready once I get some paint on the body.

 

Very impressive 51box!

 

Smooth...Everthing is flowing...Great Job

 

How did you make up the belt line? Any tips or pictures of that area? Thanks.

 

Great build there ,,I really like the use of the late 3 speed with the top shift ,,simple ,,,cheap ,,,replicates the earlier Toploader setup but with strong reliability ,,the stick comes up in the right spot too,,how many gears do you want to be rowing through ?

 

The belt line is the original leather back piece. I welded studs to it instead of attaching with nails like original. It has a bunch of small nuts inside I just tightened up on and seam sealed in between .

 

Thank you, I went with the 3spd because the Nailhead is all low end grunt no rpm engine. 3.50 gears with ~32” tall tire. She will have some nice long legs with this setup

 

Finally was able to paint the body, took me about three (maybe four) times longer then I thought it would to body work but it feels damn good to hit this point. I used some Nason single stage and a harbor freight hvlp gun to do the deed

 

That looks pretty darn nice from here!

 

Great build, Mine is going a little slower, learning a lot watching your build. I see your from MA, I'm from CT maybe I will see your car at one of the shows soon.

 

And now a painter to boot! Nice job, she sure looks purdy.

 

Thanks man its been a lot of hours sanding

 

Nice job Joe. Looking forward to what comes next.
