Passenger side filler panel went real smooth. This am Had to make a mount that attach to the body so I had a point to mount the filler panels. Bent up a piece of sheet metal for a mount Shrink and stretch to get it to contour the body line Drilled holes for rosette welds to attach it to the body Drilled and Cleco’ed the filler to it. Now to make the mount for the drivers side and the two top filler pieces that will be removable. Coming along
Finished up the drivers side. Gonna go chill out for the afternoon w the kiddos. Still got a ways to go on the bulkhead but it was a productive weekend. Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
I put a wheel on mine, last night I ordered sprockets and chain to go with this garage door motor I have. Going to try and motorize it. Your work is amazing, metal work is over the top.
Finished up the fuel tank bulkhead over the week Added some flanges to rest my removable corner covers. This piece will attach to the top of front filler panel. It will be a rest for the corner cover also. Start of the layout on the two corner covers This is the pass finished panel. Drivers side is mirror image. Created a new cover for the fuel filler I'll finish trim and weld it to the top once it's time I needed to lower the grill shell and radiator to get the look and rake I needed for the hood. When I build one. So out come the cutoff and I sectioned the front cross member. Templates and cut some fillers for both sides. 3/4" lower now. Also helps with lower radiator hose alignment to water pumps. 2 for 1 kinda deal. Now I need to cut up my grill shell again unfortunately. Win some ya lose some I guess... that's tomorrow project. Get out and build something !! Sent from my iPad using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
good stuff... did you have to section the front crossmember because the aluminum radiator's lower tank is rectangular not a series of angles like the stocker... ?... are the radiator's lower mounts located in the same spot as the stocker's... ? …
Yes to your first question of the shape of the radiator. I've never even seen a stock 28/29 radiator. So I have to assume the mounts are, They lined up on the crossmember just fine. Sent from my iPad using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Sectioned and remounted the grill shell ... that 3/4” in the crossmember was the perfect amount Temporary hood looks spot on. Get off the couch and in the garage, These cars won’t build themselves ! Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
Reporting live from Maynard Elks Club! MikeL50 was seen at a local swap buying parts for his : coupe, roadster, or sedan ? Pick one. I was talking to his friend Sean, topic was “ Why do we buy this stuff?” Answer was “Because it’s neat to look at!” I guess he has a point......

Picked up a few goodies ... Sedan is on hold at the moment. Wasn’t really the plan but I’m neck deep in the coupe at the moment. Making some changes before it’s time to enjoy it for the summer. Once it’s out of the shop, I’ll resume work on the sedan. Enjoy fellas This is my inspiration Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
My head is spinning (more than usual) trying to keep up your frantic pace Mike! No flies on you brother!
Frantic is a good word to describe me at times. You should probably lay down lol. Ryan will ban me if I post up a picture of it Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
Glad to see this moving along. Haven't checked this board in a while. Mine has been in storage while I work on my dads 52 Chevy truck. Almost done and I can get back to my Tudor.
