Hot Rods 1931 Model A The Harbor Kustom's Coupe, A "Bonneville/Rolling Bones" style build!

thanks guys

 

its just the one from the parts car, I may change it out. haven't got that far yet. Is there any reason it wouldn't work? I don't know much about them...

 

It will work fine, but on the safety side a dual reservoir master will work better. If you happen to blow a brake line in the front, the master will not drain completely and you will still have SOME brakes. With a single master if you happen to blow a line it will drain completely and you wont have any brakes.

 

Nice work by the way, I like your motor mounts, very clean.

 

great job on the rear sub rails, need to do the same with mine.

 

Any updates? Thing should be nearly done by now.

I post an update this weekend some time. However its not done yet....lol

 

Well here's an update, better late then never...

I got the rear suspension all tack up except for the gussets between the hairpins, there speed holed but I haven't cut them to size yet. Built a pan hard bar and axle bracket.
Then I decided it was time to chop it. I started with 5" chop but ended a 5 3/4" and I love it. Got the rear and side windows lined up just have to get the front pie cut and lined up its about 1/2" total off. anyways here are the pictures.









Got the rear tires setting right were I want them...




Initial 5" chop marked out



No turning back now



mandatory top on the ground picture



And 5 3/4" chop





So as I suspected there was/ is a lot of bondo on the car so after the tops welded up the body will come of and Im going to stripe it of it.

Here's the rear section lined up, need two slices to line it nicely






Im taking this weekend off for a car show, so I'll be back on this the following weekend.
Hope you all like

Oh shit. That thing looks better by the update. Nice work, cars like this motivate people a lot. Keep it up.

Your use of the front pivot of the rear wishbone is an awesome use of old parts.

Thanks! I got the front a pillars lined up and the top welded and ground down. Also got the pass door chopped and half way welded. Ill get some pictures up tonight.

 

looking good,have you considered raking back the windshield?

 

Nice work and should be a killer coupe.

 

Thanks for the update, the coupe is looking great!

 

I haven't, what would that look like?

thanks

 

So I got the top all welded and ready to start metal finishing. I ended up cutting the header to line up A pillars. Also cut the passenger side door and got it half way welded.

Any ways here's the pictures
