Sounds great we will be living on ramada gateway in kissimee want to be there now so sick of the swedish weather here.....

 

Made some welding and straightened the plate that i cut out from the trunk lid today first i think i would make a new plate but the old one gets really good with some hammering and welding so it will be smooth when welding it back in place

 

Very cool. Have you worked out the latch? I worked mine with a simple pull chain from underneath.

 

Yes i have installed a starter motor solenoid to pull the latch and its working really good! Will have a wire under the back seat as well to pull becuse on other cars i built sometimes the solenoid Burns and its really hard to get in the trunk.....

 

Tested some dodge 1955 hubcaps today think it looks good gonna paint the rims red and put on new Firestone 6.70 15 insted of those g78

 

Keep up the good work, nice changes so far.

 

Good lookin shoebox man looks alot better with hubcaps on it

 

thank you guys!

 

The white dash looks great , and so does the relocated license plate. Little stuff makes a big difference. Keep up the good work.

 

Finished the welding today on trunk lid and layed some modern lead sanding and surface painting it.

 

Nice work!!!

 

Nice work on your shoebox. Sorry but I coulden't resist to modify your license plate. It was so close

 

Was the first i think of when i got i registerd here in Sweden and i'l got WFT on the plate haha

 

Todays work was sanding baby smooth, gets really good! Next project is continuing on the hood and shave the trim and ornament before anything get any paint.

Where magic happened to 4 close friends in the early 60's.
Cars, boats and girls were all we talked about in those days.

Looks like you have some real cool rides and nice shop there and the picture from back in the days are awesome that is really cool!!

 

Thanks Eric yeah i think we did it at the same time cool have you done your hood yet?

 

The corners are rounded but I have to come back to the leading edge and make it match the profile of the Merc grill surround. I am using a chrome centre strip and bullnose for the centre.

Mesured and taped it up for cuting today, welded reinforced irons inside car and in the back window then started cuting out the rear corners. Thank you Tomas "chopit" for all help with questions and pictures before first cut. More to come.
