Projects The LAST pics before she is shiny black. ('39 Ford)

This is the pile I started on the Christmas before last. After panels all the way around, she actually was a pretty good little body...(yea, you have seen this pic 100 times..)



Here she is today, all the bodywork is done, sheetmetal fitted, gaps lined up and ready to be blown apart.



462 inch PONTIAC. Should be good for high 12s with some traction.



Now she comes totally apart for block sanding primer, shiny black and buffin. Should be ready May or so..

See ya, -Abone.

 

Man I love that car, it will look even better when painted so keep us posted.

 

lookin good abone...can't wait to see it in color.

 

If anyone is ever going to give Jim Sibley competiton for turning a sows ear into a silk purse you get my vote. Once again ...............outstanding job. This one is going to be a looker when you get it finished. Glad to hear about the shiney black.

'40's are hard to block sand... there's hardly a straight panel on them!

 

Nothing beats shiny black and chrome!

 

You go man.... go man go... glad to see her come right along....

 

It looks awesome...real nce job!

I can't wait to see it all shiny!!

 

Amazing vision you have there! Great job!

So, are you KEEPING this one?!

 

Dude that turned out great. Be a lot of black fat coupes this year at Mokan.

 

sweet looking coupe

 

Nice choice for power.

 

Sweet!I'm glad your going with shiney black!

 

Looking good, going to look great in black.

 

Cleaned up real nice. Looking forward to paint photos.

 

Wow man...

 

Nice !

 

this thing is going to be sweet!!!!!

 

This car will look KILLER in gloss black paint...
Great job!

 

You're a madman!!! Everything you touch turns to gold.....ahem I mean black gold!

 

Looks good, let's see it in black!

 

I for one sure am glad shiny paint is making it back into style. If it was mine I would rather do most of the sanding with the parts on the car. It's so much easier than trying to sand a fender off the car and trying to keep it from moving around while you are sanding it.

 

I think Jeff has been down this road before....

 

Looks great, and your gaps look good too! 39's and 40's are known for hard to get the gaps right, especially on the hoods. Its either high in the back and low on the front or vica versa.

Will enjoy the pics of it in color. One of my favorites too BLACK

 

Abone keep one. that is not possible.. Jeff that car is looking bitchen.. another winner..

 

Wow - that looks great. There is nothing nicer than a clean black '39 std - one of the best looks ever.
