Well to be honest about it, all the extra stuff I had accumulated I traded to a young gun for labor, as he has children, morgage and so on. He has a tradional model A hot rod project he is building and horse trades parts and labor to finance the build, so I try to help him out along the way. He got the running 59a that was in my forty when we pulled it and seemed so pleased to get power for his hot rod.

Have you got the jump seats Murph? If not I have a pair that were left over from my '40 coupe rebuild....

**vintageauto** · 05-26-2012, 08:27 PM

Hey Weasel,

I have my original jump seats...some upholstery...all the springs and bracketry...not sure if I want to use them at all yet?? But thanks for the offer.

**olscrounger** · 03-31-2013, 08:42 PM

gonna be nice Murph--my latest is being painted soon too--body is near done-will be Folkstone or a similar color I found. Hope to have it painted and on the chassis by May 1st-

Russco · 04-01-2013, 01:27 AM

Tim,

I like that shade. Can you get the formula?

Murph

**olscrounger** · 04-01-2013, 12:18 PM

yes I can and can send you a sample shot on a piece
I didn't know how to get pic on here-just shot the firewall quickly for a test to see if we like it-going this week

b-bob · 04-01-2013, 01:37 PM

Murph, i am glad to see you are making progress and you got yourself a cart for moving the body around.
Lots of holes to fill on those firewalls eh! Once you get the body in color or a final coat of primer and sitting on the frame you should really be stoked to finish it up.
And once you fire the engine the first time, there will be no holding you back.
Carry on, i am watching for more progress, good luck.

40FordGuy · 04-01-2013, 02:49 PM

Bitchin' ride,.... keep us posted on progress, please.

Thanks Guys! Your right about the holes..

**olscrounger** · 04-01-2013, 06:46 PM

looking good Murph--mine had way more holes than that in the firewall-yours looks like a better start. Will be doing my chassis in the next few weeks and will go get you the color and a code-will mail you a sample. Do you have a spare std glove box door. THX Tim

**vintageauto** · 04-01-2013, 07:27 PM

Thanks Tim....I have no standard parts....Sorry
