Thanks so much! That's my boner move. When I was separating parts for paint, I didn't realize that was exposed. It's back to the body shop when...
Been a while. Slowing going as usual. Bolting the fenders, running boards, and hood back on... [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] It's out of the...
It's been a bit slow going. Sent the car back to the body shop to fix some imperfections in the paint. Installed '37 door handles. [IMG] Got...
It has some pearl in it. I'll see if I can pick it up with my camera. The color is a Porsche color. The interior is going to be a rusty brown...
Yeah... As down as I am for all that, black was bothering me maintenance-wise... Thanks! Mine was green so I went with the Ford color of the...
The car is in the sun now... [IMG] [IMG]
Thanks guys! I can't wait to bring it out into the sunlight!
It's been a while since I've updated, but I'm getting there. Getting the dash squared away... [IMG] Cleaning up the brake lines... [IMG]...
There's lots of people that feel compelled to become an expert on your ride. I really don't understand what leads people to be so bold about stuff...
@CRFyou Updates on my 1935 Ford coupe build as well as vintage harley and triumph choppers I ride and build.
So my oil pan is unacceptably low to the front axle... 1/2". So I got a vintage drop axle and 4 bar setup of unknown vintage and origin. I was...
Thanks man! The engine paint is from my 1950 Ford 8BA that was in my '50 coupe. The Merc 8CM was an ugly green. So I had leftover paint...

Man... I've been dragging ass on this car. But now I've got the ball rolling pretty fast. Juice brake conversion done. New pedals assembly...

There. Fixed it with Flickr... What a pain in the ass. Anyway. I have 40 Ford steel wheels coming. A little beefier tires, and I'll get...
I paid for that pro shit 2 weeks ago! What the hell?!

Thanks guys! Going to also do the early 40's steel wheel treatment as well. Yeah. And they don't really articulate after all these years. The...
I'm super stoked to upgrade my car game. I found this car in Arizona. There is zero rust. Running 21 stud. Mostly stock car. The wiring freaks...
Different people have different tastes. That's no big deal to me. The important question though... Does it really have a 390? Or is that part...
