Projects *DONE!!* The Flamedabone '40 Ford Coupe build thread.

Dang Jeff, that sounds healthy......I like it....a lot. Makes me wanna build a Pontiac.

 

Dang, Jeff I killed your thread.

 

bump for a bad ass hot rod

 

LOVE 40'S @ 32-S

 

No fault of yours, Root. I bought a new house and I don't have the garage built yet, so the '40 is kind of on the back burner.

I still crank it up and chug around the block just to break in the new neighbors.

See you in Joplin???

 

Maybe so....

 

flat chins on a forty mean you drive them.

 

Are you still in South Carolina? HRP

 

Or at least case the paint scraped off the bottom like mine. The first time is tough to take, it comes a little easier after that.

 

Still no garage at the new house, so the progress is minimal. I did get the front clip bolted on rather than gravity, got it bodyworked and filler primed.



Have to fix the rear fender where I backed into the house...… then block primer and some color. Might even have the car finished before the new shop is done.

See ya, -Abone.

 

Try this..

Those fuckheads at Photobucket are wearing me thin. I have had a paid account for two years and they still fuck it up.

@flamedabone, I can see your photo. Car is looking great, man!

 

Thanks gas. I can see them on my phone, but a bunch in the thread are missing on the desktop. Photobucket sucks.

-Abone.

 

see if this works...



-Abone.

 

Next time on cross members where they bolt in, I always tac weld the nuts so easy to remove,the lines on your coupe look great. Thanks

 

Great!

 

That stance is perfect. Great job

 

Almost missed this.. great thread. I'm here for the finish.

 

I was wondering about this build.

 

Most of your photos show up with Internet Explorer Desktop Browser, Google Chrome and Mozzilla not so...all have stupid patches but that Bucket Suckets...No matter what...

I agree with that Photobucket crap that is the root of all evil...buy a huge storage device for home and give yourself the rental...nice Hotrod...

 

Finally got some color on this little car. First time for this new paint booth.



Not done yet, but this is the basic idea.



Sharp eyes will notice a different house in the background from the beginning of this thread. That is the reason for no progress the last 6 months. Hopefully, I can get my shop built this fall and get back to cranking shit out.

See ya, -Abone.

 

Black with Flames? whodathunk it?

 

Got all the stuff stuck on the grille. Done for the night.



-Abone.

 

You forgot the clear coat???

 

Heck yeah, looking good!
(Instead of hosting on Photobucket, you can directly upload photos on each post. They will always be here that way, hosted on the HAMB servers.)

 

Looks sinister! Love it!
