talked alot of shhtuff but never posted pics

Yup... I realized my friends weren't doing anything but getting me in trouble... And yes I can't wait to hear my model a through the headers

 

That's a hell of a box of Hot pockets Bro!


Glad to hear you're back on track... Keep us updated.

 

Cool, finally an old thread with the first poster after a long gap being the original starter of the the thread.
From experience I can full and well say that it doesn't do to work on a rod or custom when you aren't 100% into it. When that happens it, time to let it rest a bit and do just like you did until you are ready to hit it with a fresh mind and enthusiasm.

The car looks good to me. I'm a serious fan of suicide doors as they have been on my truck since 1982.

 

Welcome back! Glad to see you are back on it, and can't wait to see progress.

 

Nice looking sedan, and I love Pop's car, reminds me of my first rod, but Dad's is way nicer. Dark colors are hot, show sirt & dust, how about a nice clean cream with accents. The car is spectacular it doesn't need some gaudy color to make it stand out. I had detail shops in So Cal and took care of paint for folks, so I respect what the soft light colors can do to maintain a nice look. Tan is good, man I am exciting as a beige rug. ~sololobo~

 

Glad you brought this thraed back up, missed it first time around. Good to see pics of the car you've told me about.
Picked a color yet? Hondurance maroon someone mentioned would be a good choice, was always popular. Like someone else mentioned can't go wrong with some of the early Ford factory colors, we picked out 32 Ford Brewster green for the Vicky I'm building and we love it.


Bottom photo, by chance was that taken at a run up in the Sandias in the 70's? Looks familer, if so I was there and that makes me old.

 

get'er done ,keep us posted

 

I think it was 84 or 85... My oops knows who you are. He was gonna say hi at the swap meet but you were talking business.

 

Thanks for all the kind words. Hopefully I can finish her up

Thanks! My pops had been a huge influence as far as cars and what kinda man I should be

 

That chopped sedan is dope! Your car is coming together nicely.

 

Thanks!!! Recognize the door handles???

 

I also have these that I made out of a 36 drive shaft bought here on the hamb



Im gonna run them straight for a while until I get a ticket lol then I'm going to either make some baffles like chris casny did or cut them outta some cherry bombs

 

would love to see some pics of your hidden hinges....not looking forward to this on my build...awesome car btw!!!!!

"AND THE BOWTIE ROLLS ON"

My pops lending a helping hand

 

I have some but I need to scan them

 

I also have this oil canister for it chromed by my pops back in the day.. Ive never used the canister type what else I'd needed







besides the obvious oil filter lol... do i need a o-ring or anytype of sealer???

 

You should be able to get the canister seal and bolt seal from Napa. Checker won't have it.

 

cool thank you!

 

My 30 coupe , when i built it i suicided the doors, lots of work but sure makes it easier to get in and out, nice work by the way.

 

I know you said something about people might not liking the approach you took like suicide doors and no handles ,You follow what you like as far as the purist goes there are plenty of other forums for you cookie cutter car builders.Your only limit to what you can do is your imagination.

 

yeah i know.. but the cars on this site have inspired me alot... chris casny coupe, all of chris' early for cars especially his roadster, kirks legion special, anything bass builds, ummm to many to list...

 

rolfs coupe for sure!!!! i modeled the whole floor after what he did

 

Thanks I would appreciate it......and damn those mags are absolutely PERFECT!!!!

 

Thanks... I'm proud of all the parts I've been able to collect so far

 

Was up on my pops roof turning on his air conditioner and decided to take this picture...



I plan on bolting on all my parts this weekend and taking pictures... I'm also working on scanning all the build pics I have.
