    Yeah, you should change the title to "Not nearly as bad as it used to look!"

    I've been working on the coupe off and on, getting close to being far enough along to pull the body and getting everything final welded and painted.

    Once that was done I started on the firewall, pedal box and seat location, floor panels and column mount. 20220828_200049.jpg

    The parts pile on my toolbox is shrinking quickly. I'm hoping to have it run, stop and steer before it gets cold.

    I'm just about to pull the body and do all the welding on the bottom side.
    The entire bottom will get DP and Raptor Liner. I may do the inside floor the same way I intend to drive this car as long as there's not snow on the roads so sealing it up is a priority. It'll have a heater, Rain-X and be seam sealed so weather shouldn't matter. Plan is driving to Daytona for the Turkey Run.

    I am amazed at how much work you have done here. It is a shame so many early photos are gone. People won't know what has been accomplished. Looking Good!

    I went through and fixed them since the whole Photofuckup fiasco. They show for me, you can't see them?

    No, when I click on them it shows as ERROR!
     
  8. The photo message is a HAMB error, "you don't have permission"

    @Moriarity , can you help OP grant permission to us to see photos in early part of this thread? Thanks.

    Yup @1/2done has the album set to private, meaning that nobody can see the pics. I can't change that. He needs to open the album then on the right side of the screen there will be "album permissions" he needs to click on "change permissions" and make the album public
     
  12. Thanks, Mark. That is the one info OP needs.

    My buddy has a 40 coupe he bought from a guy that worked at Summit and it had shaved rain gutters, he hates the look but the car is "finished" an he does not want to strip it down to install gutters. I think the gutters really add to the cars look but maybe a finished edge like a 1932 ford DeLuxe coupe would be a compromse, since the factory way was a sandwich ofthe roof then rain gutter and lower sheet metal.

    # 3 my vote (I do like stock height) but Hollywood Hotrods 1" chop is "perfect" in my opinion

    I lost my temper and smashed the rain gutter over the driver side window on my '38. I think that was the most time consuming dent I ever removed. I still lose my temper but now I just cuss. :rolleyes:

    I pulled this from the interwebs, wishing for my own Coupe to have this attitude when it hits the road. I figured someone here would recognize it
