Projects My 32 5 window build thread..now chopped.

Hey Tony, do have any pics of your throttle linkage from firewall to Carbs and Carbs too? Thanks

 

Haven't figured out if i'm going to do cable or linkage from the pedal to carbs, so have nothing to take pics of just yet. I'd like to do linkage, but just havn't spent any time on that area yet.
The carbs are tied together, and i just used some old linkage from a multi-carb 94 set up i had. I can get pics of that if you want, but it's nothing special.

Tony

 

That's okay, just snap some pics whenever you get it worked out. I'm getting ready to switch over to a 6-71 with edelbrocks and was just wanting some ideas. At the rate your going you'll get there before me, thanks.

 

Shocked your willing to put one of your rides on display...it must be something special?? Bring them all and put them on smash!

 

The clutch cable set up looks great,,I'm liking the the firewall. HRP

 

Me too..lol. Nothing special really, just something car related to do seeing i missed all the Showdowns this year. Plus give's me that much more of a push to get it together.

HRP, thanks. Hope it works great too! haha

Tony

 

This, is DONE!
Hauled it to my place today (not building it at my place, NO room), and swapped it with the body so i can get that smoothed out and in color..
Got the doors just about done already. One more round of blocking and the're ready for paint.

Tony

 

Looks awesome Tony

 

Great job Tony! That is one hard core coupe!

 

Looking great Tony.

Get the sanding...


.

 

I swear you should have named that thing "wet dream!"

 

HAHAHA, never thought of that!

Thanks guys. Time to lose my fingerprints again doing body work.
I don't think this one's going to be too bad though, i ended up getting the tin pretty straight so it shouldn't need much.
Plus, the last one i did was a 62 Impala, so this is like doing one quarter panel on that.

Tony

 

So excited to see this thing finished. It's such a nasty coupe and the shot of it with the body off is so cool! Gonna rule!

 

Gotta shim and bolt it down...them smooth it out, but it's together for the last time....
at least til i rebuild it again in the years to come, 'cause we all know that's what happens.

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

 

Awesome!

 

This is a great hotrod. Enough said.

 

that profile shot is looking good Tony, nice looking car

 

So far 1/2 of the body is ready for high build primer. It's going a lot quicker than i expected, and my finger tips are about ready for bank robbery status.

Had these in my basement since i bought the body..didn't know if i was going to ever use them or not...until last night.
I dug them out and finished up the rough edges, then mocked them up to see before i did any body work on the quarters.
Well, i like 'em quite a bit so i'll be finishing them off along with the body.
They are cut up original 32 fenders. I still need to tweak em here and there to get them to fit the way i want..but i love the way they look with the rear tire size...just screams 60's to me.
It won't have front's though, just these.
Easy enough to put on, take off off whenever i want.
Sure they are pretty much a take off of the Graffiti coupe, but i like em on that car too. hahaha

Tony

 

Love the rear fenders, hope you keep them on. Awesome car also.

 

Run 'em Tony.

The fenders look tits.

With a different set of wheels I don't think the fenders would look as good,,IMHO,the fenders on the Graffiti coupe didn't look near as good as they do on your 5 window. HRP

 

X2 Tony. I think they are a nice touch. BTW you and Dave (daddy_o's_diner) are putting my old 5W to shame

 

nice touch,good lookin coupe

 

This car kicks endless amounts of ass. It's like you jammed your fist into my head and pulled out my idea of the perfect hot rod. Way to beat me to it!

 

I like the little fenderettes, Tony. VERY cool! I was gonna do something similar to my 34 but the fenders I had were all rotted around the mounting area.

 

Run them!!!! Very AWESOME!

 

HA! THANKS guys!
The more i look at it with them on, the more i like it. I need to get a full shot of the car with em though. It changes it so much, yet somehow makes it look meaner if that makes sense..don't know, can't explain it.
The're going to be on more than off, that much i know.

Thanks again.

Tony

 

maaaannnn.... this is top notch!

 

Damn Tony! Badass! It's looking great! Can't wait to see it in person. That chassis shot is outstanding!
