Hot Rods ***Finally Got a real Hotrod! The "666" Coupe!***

Nice work BB

 

Somebody told me to use WD40 on the panels after I scotchbrited them. Any thoughts?

 

Thanks...

 

yes it works good, keep the finger prints from staining

 

Good seeing it in person Friday night at Walden's Speed shop. Looks really nice!

Thanks....

 

My buddy dropped off the sound control stuff yesterday, so I can finish the trunk panels, for now, and get started on the kick panels saturday. WOO HOO!!!

 

Also....i'm looking for one of those stock, slotted brackets that holds the trunk lid open. Thanks....

 

Hey Bob- Tom Bay has the bracket, I don’t have his email here maybe someone can chime in. I can get it tomorrow if not.

Find this older (I think it said 2015 but not sure) photo on the web with a bunch of other car photos.

 

Good to see the coupe getting some use.
I like what you’re doing with one exception that’s the red tint.

Can’t stand the stuff and don’t think that I could stand looking out through it.
Also don’t think it does anything for the look of the car.

 

Colored tint was a big deal when i was growing up, going to Lions Dragstrip. I love it... I had blue tint on a custon Pickup I did a few years ago. That's cool, no worries...

 

That

That's at Viva, in Vegas. Cool...

 

Gonna get back on the panels tomorrow! Remove the gas tank, so I can finish the trunk, even though I don't have the new one yet. Then make the kick panels...

 

I really hope you never need it but that fire extinguisher may not do you much good in your trunk. Great job on your panels.

 

Cool car!

 

I know. That's where it was when I got it. It's moving...I have a larger one i'm gonna use.

 

Thanks Rocky.....I'm working oh it slowly. When I do things in a hurry, i usually end up changing my mind, lol. This one's a keeper, so I want it right.

 

One HUGH problem i'm running into is. My left knee is going bad. Hopefully I won't have to replace it, but it looks like an automatic might be in my future. If that happens, i'm going with a powerglide. Life does that sometimes.... Well, got to get to it! I'll post the pic's later today.

 

Trunk panels are done. Tank is temporary, til the new one shows up. It was a long day! Fuel line too short, broke the hard line at the floor, didn't cut the slots for the hinges long enough, then the filler neck was tool tall! Here's some before and after pic's...

 

New tank. 15gal, 36" wide, 14-1/4" tall, 10-1/4" deep. The filler neck will be on the drivers side.

 

Bob,

Your aluminum panels really cleaned up the look of the trunk! It looks sano in comparison to the "before" picture.

 

Hey Bob,
I think that's the U2 series tank from Tanks. That's what I have in my A coupe and mine's 18 gallon. So unless they've changed something, I think you're gonna get 3 more gallons for an extra hole shot. Car's lookin great man!

 

Thanks. It will look even better after the new tank goes in. Everybody keeps telling me to put louvers on them, but I like it simple.

 

Just read the paperwork...it says 18gals! hahaha Never claimed to be accurate. The boat tank I have now is 12gal.
