Technical Ooh, The Horror... My '36 Coupe...

Discussion in 'Traditional Customs' started by Enbloc, Jul 9, 2009.

  1. I believe I would!
     
  2. Tieing up loose ends is the order of the day at the moment.

    Seen it before but heres my seat varnished and painted. A '36 boot prop is a perfect fit for a '36 seat prop too!

  5. No problem with the hijack. Its cool to see how your progressing as well.

    The Hayride is a target. How realistic that target is is another question though. :(

    Seat looks great. I'm attempting to make a '36 style flip up seat out of my '37 seat currently.

    Clark, do you have a photo series of you bicycling the A coupe, on your wall?

    are those seat back hinges reproduction? I guess anything would work.....

    No, they're just hardware store bought.

    Great build.

    I love the ride height. Generally, it seems folk overly lower these cars, you got it right.
