Love the look and work on that floor. Now that I have my motor out I'm looking to get rid of my wood floor. Very inspiring.

 

That looks so good.

 

I have to paint my trans now that I have it out. I like how yours looks.

 

Can't wait to see what you post next. Great build.

 

Radiator hoses arrived today also ordered alum for hood sides.

 

Started to make hood side templates today so far so good.

 

Opened up area around header a little more then transferred to alum and presto.

 

What size/specifications on aluminum & how many where flanged? Please, thank u

 

Wow, don't know how I missed this but your fab work is awesome! On your paint, I know it says black, but does it turn out a light gray? I know the hammer in the spray can does, never seen it in a gallon before. I painted my dragster chassis with it, holds up great.

 

Alum is 5052 and the top will have 90 degree bend to set 9n top of a 1x1 tube. I hope this answers your questions.

 

Had some help from my brother and friends the other night to punch some lovers.

 

Louvers look real good! Reminds me of the Ray Brown deuce roadster hood.

 

Working on hanging doors I am finding its not easy doing this by myself but still a fun thing to see the door on at last. Next I put on all the trim parts on the inside of the door good thing I took pictures.

 

I´ve just found your build thread and just want to let you know that I´m pretty jealous of your set of skills! Nice details and great craftsmanship! Thanks for sharing!

 

Your building a beautiful ride! I get so excited when I read build threads like this, it motivates me to keep moving on my own. I'm also realizing that I may be able to turn wrenches pretty well, but I am so far behind in the fabricating side of things.

 

THANK YOU FOR Those kind works.

 

Door #2 is on and now working on building seats.

 

Bought some WINTER FAB seats really impressed nice stuff.

 

All bolted in and ready to take apart paint and add canvas.

 

Had to add a hole to install window.

 

All done and ready for some paint.

 

Found out I had to move my seat back so out came the cut off wheel and two days of work to reconstruct the floor. 6 foot 5 needs more room than normal.

 

@chop job this is one of my favorite posts. You certainly do quality work. I’m taking notes for my future 29Sedan build. It’s been parked in the back of the shop for about 20yrs, Lisenced, titled and waiting patiently. Keep up the awesome work.

 

Thank you for your kindness it means a lot to me.

 

New piece is in and ready for next step all I have to do is find out what that is.

 

Never did much body work before so this is a real learning experience. Everything is easy if you follow the instructions RIGHT? SO far so good.

 

Chop looks good!

 

don't forget the mask when sanding
