Projects The Gentleman's Coupe...Bob Hilton is busy again.

Cool.
Al.

 

I don't blame you. I would be to.

The coupe is hitting the road to Detroit in seven days...

 

Beautiful !
Good luck

 

My eyes smile when I look at your coupe, simply beautiful.
Good luck!

 

Bob, It looks great... btw..where are the Coils?

 

Forgot to ask, who made the SP Top filters?

 

I am not Bob...he built the car. I am just the one lucky enough to get to drive it.

Coils are between firewall and dash.

Tony over at Ross Racing Engines was responsible for the amazing filters. The one downside of SP Tops on a road car is total lack of filtration. I think he came up with a nice solution...

 

Wex65 and Bob the builder you have created a beautiful coupe! Congratulations!

(Yes we can)


Well Bob sure did fix this one. Fantastic job. I envy you Wex65.

Thank for the reply...I know your not Bob...he is way too busy to be on here. Tony did a nice job on those. I may run the SPs on my flathead but as you say filtration is an issue. I saw the car before the Holidays and am very impressed at how fast it has come together. Good luck in Detroit.....

 

Thanks, believe it or not Bob built another side by side with this one. Very different style, blown Y block (also built by Tony). Both will debut in Detroit next week.

 

Outstanding!!!!

 

One very fine looking hot rod. Roger

 

Well done by all involved.....

 

Well, its on the way. Dropped the car up to Ross Racing Engines yesterday. It will arrive into Detroit Wednesday lunchtime.

Next photo will be the finished car at the show...

 

We'll be waiting patiently. Have a good time.

Ryan.

 

On show in Detroit...

 

Exquisite! Fabulous work by all involved.

 

Perfection!

 

Is the radiator leaning forward and is the grill shell higher than the cowl.
VERY nice

 

Love those muted colors!

 

Yes, looking at the photo above I can se why you think that. No, grill isn't leaning and is right height. Bad perspective on the photo...

 

Thanks dt

 

It's so, so clean and classy. More pics please!

 

Looks awesome!!

 

Very nice! I'll be looking for this in Austin..

 

The color is simply outstanding, of course love the engine choice. One of the best Model A builds I've seen in a long time.

 

Thanks all. I will try to take better photos today. Unfortunately I am on the road for a week or so now and wont be back home (where the cable that allows me to hook my good camera to my PC resides) and so I am relying on phone/tablet cameras for now. Gonna be a busy couple of days, the reception to the car so far has been amazing.

Glad we worked the witteks into the mix, another little detail...
