Hot Rods 32 My friend drug home

Here we go!

 

JJ thanks for the updates.Looking real good!

 

Jay,
Thanks for posting the pictures of my car. Your camera is soooo much better than mine.
Well, after two total knee replacements and lots of time on the couch, it's time to finish this car.
And thanks to all for the interest in the car. Like the butcher said as he slipped into the meat slicer - "Well, it won't be long now!" See ya down the road.

I agree. I could stare at it all day!

Ouch!

 

Wow! Very cool! Looks great!

 

Very good looking - Nice I mean AWESOME JOB - That's a hot rod.

 

Wow, I'm loving everything about this car!

 

Just saw this for the first time. Car is looking sweet! Keep it up....

 

Nice save. Lookin good.

 

Went to a bbq, an a Hot Rod show broke out. Good times an a few update pics.

 

JJ nice seeing you today at the bbq!

 

Yeah. Good talking, with you. It was cool seeing everybody there. That should be an annual event. Hint hint!

 

An annual event would be cool!

 

Here are some updated pics of Jim's coupe. We are in he process of wiring it and buttoning up all of the little things. It won't be long now.
We test fitted the hood and grill shell, made the battery cables, and gabbed up a mount for the electronics and the coil.

So different with those rear wheels on there. I'm used to seeing the street slicks. The wiring looks good.

 

Nice looking car. Is that a normal amount of wire, or was it bought in bulk? Bob

 

37 Kid, that is the wire that you get with a Speedway kit. We haven't found any that were too short so far.

Got some voltage flowing today. We now have tail/ license plate lights, dash lights, and a dome light.

Jim it's looking real good, can't wait for a ride.

 

It's ALIVE!

 

see post #124 people

 

Be proud,this is the kind of car you only see once in a lifetime.

 

Here are some more pictures of progess. The motor is almost ready to fire, just need to finish up the plug wires and a couple of other small details and she should light off. BTW it might be hard to read but that is genuine Packard 440 wire and Rajah terminals.... Yeah the neighbors aren't gonna be too happy when she motors down the road.

 

Looks great! Nice to see another nailhead powered deuce..

 

'41 Ford blue, Washington blue pinstriping...'factory style'. Some of the unwashed will swear this car was found in a museum; then, partially disassembled; cleaned, then bolted back together with a few 'modifications'.
True textbook Deuce build. Details.
Riviera valve covers (another 'factory' goodie) rollup rear window...
Siggy makes stuff look easy...looks like it just 'slid together'...see the fit of everything.
Exceptional.

 

Dig it. Great thread. Great car.

 

I was thinking with that Buick Nailhead it would have been cool to have Buick Finned brakes. Cooooool Ride

 

Jim: the coupe is unreal nice!! I'm glad you went this direction and stayed with it. Look forward to weeing it on the road. Tim
