    Looks awesome and congrats on the House. I know the pressure there. What’s the seat from. It fits great. Wondering because I’m at that point.

    Heard they do. Guess I’m going that route. Like a 90s or mid 2000s?

    Being that I have a little more time in the shop these days till my Millwright job picks back up I’m dedicating it to my coupe. All the major welding and panel work is done I just have fit the louvered deck lid skin and finish the door tops and it should be ready for bodywork.

My job got busy, I built a new shop, and did a bunch of work on my ‘63 C10. On the coupe I was able to get the floors done and the pedals hung. I’ll get some more pics today of the floors

Ordered a cam from Schneider yesterday. Will probably be ordering the pistons soon.

    Ok, the Tudor doors are longer than Coupe, is there a contour change? I don't fully understand the inner door frame getting notched. quarters and cowl stay the same and the body is now longer because the doors are longer, I don't see the over door section getting lengthened. Will a stock A hood now work on the '32 frame? I'm a big fan of subtle changes. Bob

    here’s a couple pictures of the quarters and cowl
    I braced the inside of the body and kind of levitated it 2” above the table. Then I used Tudor sedan subrails to stretch the door opening. I also had to add to the length of the roof by where the visor attaches.
