So the rains have started and toys are put away for winter. Pulled off the gas tank cover that has the sunken license plate. Reinstalled my cover...
Thank you. I will have one job on it this winter. I had two gas tank covers. One made for a bumper which came with the car, the other I put on...
Went out for a test drive today. Pretty much done my "repair and repaint". It was a bit of a compromise for me as it was to nice of a car to take...
Interior is mostly in.
Anyone know of 33-34 Ford car door jam bumpers in different thicknesses? Looked but haven't found. I have one door that I would like to go more...
This what I came up with for dovetails. Bought the adjustable units for a 32. Bolt spacing is narrow along with smaller bolts. I cut some 1/8"...
So I tried the stock channels. Did not like. Basicly because they are in pieces I found the glass would bind when transitioning between the...
I am installing window channels on my 3 window. It had the generic channels glued in place which I removed to paint. My parts guy said I would be...
I have installed on this car before and recently had my upholstery guy make me some up. It is tedious to install. Undecided as of this time. I...
I have a "thing" for vintage fog lamps. Have a pair of Marshal Fantastic lamps on my Tourliner. I have had these Electroliner's for sometime....
Progressing. Been colour sanding/polishing and assembling panels. When I bought this car it had bumpers. I ran without them and had bought and...
I hear ya. Normally I start a project in bare metal so I can do just that. 15 years ago when I started to look for a nice 3 window project I found...
Seems to be a hugely controversial subject. Lol. I have seen both with and without look good. I installed it on my gas tank cover and rear fenders...
Welting between fenders and body. Did they come originally, do you like or not?
I run 16" x 5.5" wheels on the front. Tires are Excelsior Stahl Sport Radial, that are 25" tall.
Funny guy. You know what else I do in that room. It sucks not having more space.
Finally decided on a pair of Michelin 255/70/16 defenders for the rear. Dimensionaly they are very close to the cheaters I ran.
Starting to assemble bits to the body. Cannot seem to close this gap between the drivers fender and gas tank cover. When I bought the coupe it had...
Previously I ran a pair of 8.20/16 Firestone cheaper slicks on the rear of my coupe, they looked great but likely contributed to my mishap. They...
Good to know thankyou.
Some assembly required. This gas tank cover has been on before but am scrutinizing the fit. As pictured I have some 1/4" spacers between it and...
I'm good with just Didn't know that the 34 windows slide back stock. The only "power" option on my coupe is the power windows. The car had them...
Trying to decide on which window channels to go with. My unchopped 3 window previously had what looked like generic stainless channel glued in...
I really like your idea but I would think a shop could easily spend several hours building them (being optimistic). It would be an expensive way...
All six were like that so I reused mine.
My 34 doesn't have it. I see no evidence that anything like that was there. Maybe just a 32 thing?
Last painting session done. Now to put it back together. I just hung the doors and they fit the body nicely (it was a bit of work) but as I...
Very nice original 33-34 drivers side running board. Will trade for original passenger side running board or a repo drivers side. 250 731-7473
