My Coupe is almost done

A momentous day with the registration of our 33 coupe completed this morning after a 2 and a half year build













It only has a rough trim job for now as I want to drive it for a while before getting the final trim done

Now to sort out those inevitable bugs - the BTR refuses to shift so obviously there is an issue with the wiring there somewhere.
Other than that I'm very happy with it

Now I should be able to get back to the model bench for a bit of styrene therapy before starting on the next project
It's a 34 pickup that I got from Long Beach Ca a year ago.
Really only needs tidying up, RHD conversion , dropped axle/4bar and dual circuit brakes
Bodywork will be left alone for now

...and that too
Fantastic job mate, you should be proud

Nice looking cars you have there. Bet you can't stop smiling.

Can't wait to be at that stage with my 56 chev.

She's a beauty Chris - you must be very happy. And the pick up truck looks like good fun too - especially with that small block under the hood. Have you still got the tudor as well?

Hi Bryce
I sold the Tudor exactly a year ago today..............last day of the High Altitude Rod Run

Found out this morning that the Tudor is on ebay right now.

It seems my warnings to the new owner that it was not a family friendly car because there is NO luggage space have now been realised.
However, he wanted it right or wrong!
He is selling because there is a 46 Tudor available - heaps of room in them

Better change my signature!
