    It does! For being a solid color, you’d never expect this much change with the lighting conditions. I’m looking forward to seeing the fenders along side the body.

    Absolutely beautiful!!! The attention to detail is evident from the photos, great prep on the body and the color enhances the body lines. You have another winner in the works. Looking forward to your completion.

    I've been chipping away at some small projects on the '33. With the top insert panel wrapped, I got the tack strip moldings installed, and buttoned up with the nice rubber filler strip.

    Then I moved on to reinstalling all of the body wood that I had previously painted black. Next, the cleaned and regreased window regulators went in after some new glass I had cut for the car. After working on a project last year that had Solex glass, I grew to really like it....so that's what I had cut for this car. I think it complements the body color well too?

    I got a last batch of powder coating back recently too, which included the rear spreader bar. I chose to mount the fuel filter/regulator for the OT EFI on it, which turned out to keep it easily serviceable while maintaining it out of sight behind the gas tank cover. With that the last couple hoses made up, I could finally call the fuel system done.

    My rear end came back from Hot Rod Works the other day too. I sent the parts out earlier for HRW to do their final machine work and assembly. As always, it came back looking great, and I know the work inside is even better.

    I mounted it on a couple engine stands, and got it painted this weekend too. The slide-in axles will arrive this week, so the chassis is going to officially become a roller real fast!

    Great idea to use engine stands to paint the rear end @CTaulbert. See you and Ash in Oklahoma soon!!

    Knocked out a bunch of small projects on the frame this week. I got the freshly painted rear end in the car, and the rear suspension assembled. With the rear end in place, I could measure for a driveshaft, and I promptly got one on order.

    I wanted to keep the look of the original Ford rear hubs, so I took a pair of rear hubs and machined the snouts off. I found a socket nut in the McMaster catalog, along with some stainless all thread and castle nuts, and came up with a plan to make the rear end appear to still have stock axles.

    I chucked the new slide-in axles in my lathe, and used a live center to locate the socket nut on the face. I then rotated everything by hand as I welded on the socket nut. The stainless all thread got shortened to fit, then drilled for a cotter pin. Looks stock on the outside, and easy to remove and reinstall as needed!

    Another small project was doing some light turning on the MT brake drums to fit the original Lincoln backing plate slash shields. It didn't take much, but it was necessary to get enough clearance. With that done, I painted the rear drums and once dry, got them installed.

    I moved onto bleeding the brakes, using a Motive power bleeder. When I built the plumbing last year, I stepped up and bought a nice turret style flare tool. I can say that it was worth the money, as I didn't have one leak! Once everything was bled, I adjusted each corner, and the resulting pedal felt great.

    About that time, the driveshaft hit the door, so I got it installed along with the rear wheels, and rolled it outside!

    Cory, great tutorial on how to build and thoroughly finish a traditional Hot Rod. What did you use for brake line material, and would you post a picture of the flare tool you used ? Thanks !

    Thanks Marty!

    I used 3/16" stainless, with 37deg single flares and AN tube nuts/sleeves. I bought the turret style tool, that's sold under Eastwood and Summit (just different stickers):

    It was only a matter of time, but I rounded up some friends this morning and we sat the body down onto the frame. It went on easy, and we hit the holes spot on without even trying!

    Next up is a bit of dynaliner/dynamat, followed by a lot of wiring.

    I still can't get over how cool that color is. Nice rear axle trick too.

    Got to be one of the best engineered traditional builds ever. I am truly amazed. Thanks for the posts.
