    Very nice. Proportions are dead on. Looks great with the original hood and grill shell, too!

    Great looking car. I agree it's good to get the project outside and take a good long look at it. Also a good chance for a good sweep in the shop. I had mine out for a bit of spring cleaning ImageUploadedByH.A.M.B.1431400361.299786.jpg

    new coupe 018.JPG press pleat seat 004.JPG Got my seat back from my buddy the upholsterer and for free I thought it looked pretty good.. Decided to finish building this coupe and put my "MR 800" coupe up for sale.. I just enjoy building more than driving and it's time for one of them to go away.. Back to the garage...
     
  12. Great build so far keep the updates coming

    Do you have any pics/info on how you set up the rear of the frame and suspension? She sits perfect.

    Just starting to plan out my build and your coupe has got the look I'm after. Grill, hood and all. Really nice. Can't wait for progress pics.

    Yeah, it's pretty solid. All that's left is the body, hood and grill. Everything else is sold to restorers. Going back and forth on whether to use a '32 repo frame or Model A kicked up rear one. I like both looks. Been talking the guys at Brookville and Honesty Charley's trying to decide. Regardless, I'll be watching your build for advice too.
     
  26. Really like the bird houses, good job.
