    Looking good so far. Myself and 3 others built a 33/34 ford coupe from flat sheet in 5 days, all the panels were only tacked together though.

    This firewall had a HUGE motor setback and you could straddle a horse with it. It was rebuilt with 18 gauge, and I also made a die that would create the dimples with my 10 ton press.

    You're the man Pat, I might take you up on that. As far as progress this is a side project for myself. They never have the progress that the paying gigs have. ;)

    All of the exterior panels will be replaced as I built these many years ago, but I think it has the overall look I am going for.. 20171222_183427.jpg 20171222_172411.jpg 20171222_181200.jpg

    Yep, haven’t seen him in years. I think he had a fiberglass 32’ he drove to the event once.

    I remember a steel 31 coupe. He dropped by here yesterday. I gave him a 100 lb anvil. It made his day. :)
