Hot Rods Curbspeed Coupe. "Holy Hell" 10/4/2020

'68 Volks convert is very similar, and looks old.....

 

I got up on the roof of my house to take those pictures Tim. I wanted to get the full effect of the flamed insert.

 

As much as I looooovvvvee the outside .... that tasty interior is even more heart throbbing. Great f#cking job man !!!

 

Give it a rest Rob. Is your interior done yet? I'm ready to see that. Just look at the wicked curbspeed of that aerial.

 

Thanks man, I have yet to put a bunch of really neat stuff inside yet. I have to get the battery/future A/C box behind the seat area. When that is in I can set the seat track in and seats/grab bar. I'm really happy with the way things are going. Got to keep pushing. Good things are about to happen.

 

Looks like it's got a lot of neat stuff in their already! Staying tuned.

 

Hooked up battery cables yesterday and I am finishing the fuel lines up today. Then on to wiring and firing.

 

Close.

 

I'm digging that exhaust.

What fuel tank are you running?

 

Fuel tank is a antifreeze tank off a Vietnam era plane. 20 gallons. Rob the window garnish moldings are painted red to match everything else. Finished fuel lines completely today. I just need a fuel pressure gauge and I'll be set. Battery, Battery box/AC box(future) and cables are done. Tomorrows job is making up spark plug wires using Seal Tight plug ends and making up my Mallory cap. Then I'll start on wiring my EZ wiring kit. Glass is not cut yet. I still need to make up some patterns. I have two patterns done for the quarter windows. I'm picking off my list. My goal is to fire by the 1st of August.

 

Car looks great and it was fun following your build.

But the car would be much safer if before you did any "testing" like burnouts and if you can make some time if you replace the rubber fuel hose in the bellhousing area and rear of the carbs with some steel fuel lines.

 

Copper lines are right below this. Firewall to filter needs to be flexible. Rubber hose down toward frame is getting some flame resistant heat shield line wrap near header. It will be safe. I don't want a fire as well. Thank you though. I appreciate it.

 

Rob, I have not contacted Pat Swanson about the gauge. He's too high priced on stuff.

 

End of the month.

 

Tonight's progess. Seat track, seats ,grab bar/armrest, NOS seatbelts from 1953. Wiring starts on Sat.

 

DAM getting better and better

 

The talent involved in the membership leaves my jaw on the floor many times...this is one of those moments...maiden voyage soon @curbspeed...

 

Careful that could provoke a new antenna location...

 

Don't tempt me bitch! Ha! I might just do it.

 

HA! HA, I knew I could get a rise out of you Roberto!

 

I've been under the dash all morning. It's slow going. My buddy from work who is our mechanic was going to help me this weekend but he's moving into a new house. I was hoping to start it but I'm behind the schedule. Maybe tomorrow

 

Very well done and well thought out. Congrats!

The Coupe looks Spot-On !

 

Working on it again. I took a little break to catch up on my honey-do list. Should have an update after this weekend.

 

Getting glass put in it at the moment. Raised the rear by adding leaves back into it. Next thing is to address front axle issues. Problems all around. Just taking them one at a time and not getting to excited about anything.

 

Got a couple pieces of glass in today. Back roll down window(hard to make work on a chop this hard) and a 1/4 window. I'm going to do some paintwork to make them look better later. Ok for now. The white behind the red garnish moldings will go away soon.

Stunningly Awesome Hotrod

Not much better than front row seats from my standpoint...

Won't take very long to roll that window down...

​

 

Does it take about a quarter turn of the rear window winder to lower it all the way?
