    Thanks Kev, that brace is a great idea. I'll be putting that set-up in my brothers coupe one of these days. Did you use the Chevy truck slave or a hyd throwout?
     
  3. Chevy truck slave cyl,. I hate the thought of having a problem with hydraulic throwout bearing. I had a friend who went through that.

    Here is Perry, my friend from work who just retired last week. I am so jealous!!. Perry has been doing all the wiring for me. We are trading labor. He is building a 37 Chevy coupe that I have been putting a lot of patch panels in.

    Dang. The door gaps are just about perfect. You do good work.

    The whole labor trading thing is pretty cool too.
     
  24. looking good Kevin! I'm so glad your driving the hell out of that thing. Broken spider gears already! nice.
     
  25. So. I guess you can go home again. How's it feel to be behind the wheel of a Willys coupe again?
