Projects My Deuce Coupe Project

No comment to add ... but BLACKity black BLACK !!!!!!! Gawd' I love it.

 

Dynamat time.

 

Finally found the missing piece to my Driveline. This Diff Yoke. Now I can make my Driveshaft and make this ride move.

 

If you only missed placed one item I salute you my friend

I am liking for items more than I care to share and I label everything !

Getting there bit by bit. This weekends accomplishments are as follows:-
Lots of sanding and Polishing to finish off the door hinge side which attach to the body.

Then more polishing on the swing windshield hinges and of course, fitting the windshield.

Then came fitting of the rear windshield.

The Seatbelts were trial fitted. They needed a L Bracket to mount the re-tractor at the bottom, which is bolted to the Chassis through the body
Finally, I greased and fitted the Cable wipers.

I was wondering, before I go into trial and error, does anyone know which holes on the cam the wiper cable should attach to for the wiper arc. I'm thinking I'll start with the bottom few (in the pic). The closest to the centre of the cam must be shorter arc.

 

looking good Jimmy

 

Heater Shell and Steering Column are in.
Now just gotta figure out the position of Accelerator Pedal, without the Brake pedal fouling up against it when braking.

 

As far away as possible. It doesn't matter how much distance you have to the firewall (theorectical legroom), the pad on the accel. pedal will determine where you right foot and leg will spend all their time.

 

Nearly there with the Dynamat, then I can install the seat and check position of the Accelerator Pedal.

 

Time for everyone's favourite part of a build...... Wiring.... !!

 

Dynamat done, seat in, steering wheel in, battery tray in.
Now time for some wiring and accelerator pedal setup.

 

Let the fun begin...................
Me and wiring are like this...........

 

I picked up a door from the painter and fitted it today. Tomorrow I go get the other one.

 

Looks bitchin man. Can't wait to see it finished.

 

^^^What he said!
Keep workin'

Looking good Jimmy but damn you need to clean up around that car before taking a pic....

 

Hahaha.... Yeah, I'm renowned as a messy worker. I spend lots of time shuffling stuff around so That I can start work.
But I love how my hinges pop against the black, you can really see them now that the door is on. Lots of work went into these to get them to this lustre.

 

Jimmy how are you going to stop the hinges from tarnishing?

 

I considered coating them with clear but the polished finish would have meant the clear would not stick too well and have flaked off after a while, leaving me with a bigger mess to manage.
So I guess once a year I'll mask up around the hinge and pull out the Brass polish and a rag. But then again, the tarnished look will be a cool look as an alternate.

 

All done and ready to go off to the Trimmer.
Doors Dynamated & fitted, Door handles, locks and window regulators fitted, Fuse Box mounted and cables roughed in to front & rear. Accelerator pedal fitted.... Now to decide on an interior colour...

And here is a look at my Tail Lights.... 41 Pontiac, Nice Deco look.
I have a nicer set that I will use. This one is just for mocking up.

 

DAM! That looks nice.....

 

looking excellent, love those tail lights, spot on

Cheers,

I love those door hinges. The contrast between them and the black is beautiful. Well done.

 

If you will polish those hinges with Mothers Mag and Aluminum polish, you won't have to touch them up very often. The stuff really holds up; especially on something aluminum and you just lightly rub it across the metal until it gets really shiney. Do NOT rub hard as it just slows things down! Lightly is the key... it is a chemical cleaning and protecting process.

 

It went off to the Trimmers today. Tomorrow I go down to talk about what we are going to do.

 

The excitement is building..

 

Decisions Decisions Decisions .....

 

Such excellence in details .......... Beautiful.

 

liking that combo, will look ace, did you go with the 503C carpet?

 

Not sure about those colours, I think they might get lost with the timber on the garage floor . But seriously, should be a winner, paying very close attention !
