29 ford build

I hear you on the "can't wait to drive" thing. If you get those gauges to function that dash will be even cooler. Keep up the good work.

 

Thanks man. You to.

 

Well Iv been working on the headlight stands and finally got one sittin about where I like it. Didnt realize these headlights weighed so much.

The stands are gonna be an Ibeam style when im done.

 

Fittin the deck lid today

 

A few pin holes to weld but other than that its the final patch panel on the 29.

 

Decklid looks good, how many louvres?? Did the louvres end up flattening the crown out of the skin? What are you doing for an inner panel?

 

Thanks man. It did flatten it out a little but with all the louvers you dont even notice it. I may make an inner panel but im not sure yet. For now its just gonna be square tubing around the edges. Il louver ur deck lid if you want.

 

Square tubing will be enough to hold the shape and be plenty strong. I was going to louvre my skin as well but not sure. After seeing yours it looks bad ass. Thanks for the offer on the louvring, I'll let you know. I've seen dies for the bead roller but haven't tried them so not sure if they are worth the purchase?? Are you using a press?? I'm assuming your using deck lid hinges mounted on the inside??

I got the body back on today. Hope to start body work in a couple weeks.

 

Old pic.
I use a mitler bros press and really like it. Yep im gonna run the hinges on the inside. I like them on the outside as well but with the louvers i dont think it would look right.

 

love the louvers

 

Thanks brady!

 

Last picture for awhile.

 

taking a break?

 

Time for body work which ur gonna help on homie .

 

lets lead it.

 

I got the lead. When you comin to help.

 

what are those headlights? i've always liked them but never knew what they came from.

 

Those are E&J type 20 lights.

 

They were an after market light that came on a lot of high end cars. Kissel is one that comes to mind.

 

thank you!

 

the coupe is lookin kick ass btw! :-D

 

Thanks alot

 

I finally got both headlights mounted. Been slingin mud as well

 

Today I built the headers.

 

Those are different. I like them. Hard to find people doing different things. Keep up the great work.

 

Thanks alot big jim.

 

Fuel log I made a few days back. Hopin for no leaks on this thing.
