Oh I was beat after the swap meet, too! Took a couple hour nap then put some time in in the garage...

Good job. I think you'll be happy with the sound of those mufflers. I use them and they have a nice deep tone.

Do you have a '57 Ford Custom that's flat black?
I recall talking to a guy (who I think is you) about 10-11 years ago at Americruise in Lincoln, NE. I was also driving a flat black '57 Ford at the time....



I sold the F100... need to change my avatar.




Looks like you have a '32 5-window now? If so, can't wait to see what you do with it!




Soon, very soon.... next weekend!




oh man, I wish!

I remember when my brother-in-law took me with him and my uncle to buy a lot of Model A stuff from his shop a couple years ago. I don't remember if it was from Pat or from one of his buddies, but as soon as we pulled up to the shop and I laid eyes on that Ford, I immediately became glued to the car window until we finally parked and I got out. I was all over that car checking out the details.

That car is simply awesome. Your build's coming along just as awesome too! The frame is pretty sexy too. Can't wait to see what it looks like with the body on it. How soon do you expect to be able to test drive it?

Looking very nice Nick. I love the frame – nice and low. I can't believe you sold the truck though. What are you driving daily now?

The body will get set back on this weekend. I've decided to use a new pair of Brookville doors that a good friend has, since mine need a ton of work. Will get those bolted up, get the body squared up, braced, and secured to the frame. Also need to get the lower quarter and wheel-well patch panels tacked in place. Ideally all of this will be done before next Thursday. If all goes as planned it will be on display at the Omaha World of Wheels, March 18th-20th. We'll see.
After that, new subrails need to be fabricated and installed, along with the floor, body bracing, seat mounts, etc. Andy and I have a plan in the works to get the subrails and floor done, probably during the month of April.

Hope to have it running towards the end of May.

Thanks, Kathy! Your coupe project is turning out awesome!
I don't think I'm fast by any means... just plugging away - still a ton of work ahead.

Thanks, Dave! The truck was sold to help fund this project. My daily driver is an '05 Silverado 2wd that needs to be lowered.
