little teaser-the coupe

Offy all the way!!!

 

go offy for sure

 

who's panels are those and how did they fit?

Did you weld that panel over right over top of some or all of the original?

 

Got them from smith and jones in sc , I am pretty sure they were made by howells ,fit very well . I cut what was left out of the cowl bottom and used a 1/2 inch flanger so the panel and the original fit flush . I plan to do the other side in the next day or two and will post more detailed pics. of what i did.

 

Cowl patches and quarter patches fitted , flanged and finish welded in . Fitting new wheel well panels , still waiting for news on the 17 in tall rear corners from M/H speed , can not weld in wheel wells till I have the corners. passenger door panel welded in and finished.

 

Your making me jealous Tommy!


Keep up the good work!

 

Nice work Tommy!!! That's thing i turning out slicker then snot!

 

Love the coupe man I am building one pretty close to yours. I was wondering how you were planning on running the tv rod (or whatever its called on a hydro) up to the throttle linkage? I want to run the 4 speed hydro in mine but I don't know a whole lot about them. Also what spring are you running in the rear? I looked but I didn't see it in the thread.
Thanks,
Jackson

 

I am not planning on using a kickdown . all shifting will be with the shifter. The rear spring is a 40 ford front spring.

 

Thanks for the info. I didn't know you could run it like that. So basically you will shift it like a manual?

 

Hand fabbed door sills installed , new rear panel and subframe connector in place , still waiting for the 17" rear corners to be ready from m and h speed.

 

tommy, I love your shifter such a rad idea!!!

when you get those corners in youre gonna be so stoked because your car will officially be SOLID

keep it up!!

still going washington blue like your pops had?

 

Going with oreintal blue over silver with white grille insert , white rolled and pleated interior and roof insert

 

Nice!!! Better lay one of those quilts on it to keep it clean after full night in the shop!!! Actually the Hussy's interior was easy to take care of. Just wiped the grease right off no problemo!

Waiting for some more progress pics!!!

 

Nice job Man, lookin' bloody GREAT!

Nick.

 

Nice ....
Cheers..........

 

Come on Tommy . . . post that new video! Or at least some pics.

 

I will as soon as I figure out how to post pics. from my new stupid phone. easy to post to profile but have not figured out how to post to a thread . There are some new pics. on my profile.

 

So it has been almost a year since any new pics. sorry bout that . anyway if you had followed this thread before you know how rough this thingg was. And I had planned on caddy power but with a realitively fresh and warmed up flatty in my garage and the cost of building the caddy it was a no-brainer. 35 or 36 flatty with mild cam , johns lifters edmunds 2x2 and apair of fresh 94's , lakes headers. Used Howells 9'' rear corners and made them work with a lot of massaging . It now has a rear end and looks like a car.

 

door post repair from scratch

 

made one decklid out of three. wheel weells in and a working nice winsheild frame. nothing and I mean nothing aftermarket fit e
with out major modifications . probably have 30 or 40 hours in the wood header and sheemetal that covers it. in and out , in and out...

 

just some more random pics.
