Projects Glass '32 5 Window

Wiring the back end. Park and brake circuits work, moving forward!

 

That's an ornery looking ass!

 

Well put!! Thanks

 

OK! It's been awhile. Got the wiring done and it all works! The line lock button is the horn, and the lights and turn signals are all in the overhead panel, complete with blue flasher indicator lights. I also installed and calibrated the fuel gauge. The aluminum bowl is installed on the fuel tank inlet to catch small spills. A drain will get installed on that bowl to go overboard. Next rig the trunk and then the glass and door latches!

 

My turn signal switches.

 

It doesn't honk the horn and hold the brakes at the same time, does it? That would become annoying.

 

No just the horn, there are no wires in my steering column. So the turn signals are in the overhead and the horn is on the shifter.

 

Been awhile, bought a new house in Nampa, Idaho. Getting our house sold, all ready, first showing is Wednesday. My fingers are crossed. Coupe is on hold for a while!!. Brakes are great, electrics all works, and I have the glass cut and ready for me to glue them in. Windshield is new and fits well. I can drive her on the trailer and off into my new, finished 3 car garage!! Can't wait!!

 

Anybody having an issue with the top center hinge not opening far enough??

 

Had her out, went around the block. Felt great!!

 

I don't recall if you've said what the final paint will be, decided yet?

 

Yep, Krylon primer red. Frame and radiator shell are the color. I spent $1800, 15 years ago, to paint my old Corvette, a gallon of the Krylon primer cost me $38.00. Get a nick, shake the can, a spray away. Guess I have gotten cheap in my old age. Might do the firewall and bottom of the body in some shade of white. Time will tell. Don't plan to show her, just a driver. Just sold our house and bought a new house in Nampa, Idaho, near my son. Lots to do now!!

 

Congrats on the drive !

 

The answer I expected and that's perfect, I'm of the opinion that shiny expensive paint does not necessarily equate to any increase in enjoyment.

 

Split: Let's wrap this excellent project up. I've been following since the beginning and just turned 79. Would like to see it done and on the road before I depart.

 

Me to, 75 this May!! But the build is the fun!!!!

 

I agree completely, last car was a winner at most shows. I plan to go to some shows, but only as a spectator.

 

Blasphemer!

 

He He
Don't you have something that needs polishing!

 

Big day yesterday, went to DMV, got registered and temp paper license plate. Idaho has a street rod plate, now I can stick it in the rear window and give her hell. Life is good!!! P.S. glass goes in today!!

 

Congratulations, enjoy it, looks great that stance is hot rod true and through

 

That was my goal from the get go!!

 

Needs a pair of Cherry Bombs. Hehe.

 

Looks like ridding mechanic needs a better door lock. R slicks street legal in Idaho?

 

Stance is great

 

No, but the cops don't seem to care if you have some grooves. I just bought a grooving tool. Bet my wife will love the smell. Door latches and windows are next!!

 

Try out that tool on a junk tire first!

 

Back side glass installed today, brackets you see hold the glass in place. They come out tomorrow! Rear glass goes in tomorrow!!

 

Too loud, I have big Flowmasters first with Spiraltechs in the turndowns. One can actually hold a conversation while driving. That would be my wife's doing!!!

 

I did, what I learned from that is don't be in a hurry and hold your breath!!!!
