There is something about the sight of a '32 3 window coupe that makes me feel that same as when I used to watch Baywatch. Am I a sick puppy or what? LOL!!

Glad you got her back, Davey!

Yeah, you're a sick puppy, but aren't we all?  I like construction pics as much as finished car pics, maybe even a little more.  Looks like it's going to be great when done.

That gets the old excitement going!  Isn't that one of those bodies fron "down under"? What are your first impressions of the fit and finish?  tom..

[enjenjo]

I was wondering how you were doing, hadn't heard from you lately.

Congrats! Looks Good!

Well it loks good so far. They did send me 2 pass door window trims.  But Squeak Bell is got what i need and is hooking me up.  And man there is a ton of steel in this thing  in the doors and all over it.
Trunk is strong and fits good doors the same.

Now what do you do for a gromet where you cut to run the brake through the body? pic anyone?
And who makes a good old style tire in 265/70 15r and 165/70/15r?

I made my own gromet and tires bf goodrich on the rear i used 285 70 15 big is better    Nother trick. Ill maybe have to get a pic. I glassed a piece of exhaust tubing in the firewall for the column to pass thru. Worked slick. Make sure youve got your engine in place and the headers on before you lay out the steering. They tried that on my new roadster project and im going to have to re do it.

Make a flange that fits on the pedal, about 1/2" from the floor, on the bottom side. Cut some sponge rubber and glue it to the flange. It seals the floor, and is a positive pedal stop.

Glad things are working out for you finally.  I have seen it done with pieces of a front door sweeper.  Check out project33.com where he did that for his trunk hinges.  See parts 14-17 of upholstering the trunk, these are the latest he posted.

BF Goodrich. Go to their website and use the tire locator to find the sizes  you want.

Ok so i need to set my eng and trans next i guess? I need to buy a cherry picker.  Now i want one i can take apart and not a big one.
