1940 business coupe stripping paint off

[TomT/Williamsburg]

Still a few things to finish on my 32 (avatar) but she is a running a driving car at the moment; I will be doing a little work on my 40 coupe after being on the road for over 6 years: pull the motor and trans to swap out the S10 4-speed for a 5-speed, do a couple maintenance items on my French block flattie while it's out, and change the 8" rear gear from 2:78 to 3:40; and probably do a little work on my 40 p-up project - it's not a flattie but will be an early 60s "look" and suspension but with a 4.3V6/5-speed combo.

I'm building a pallet to put a new engine on. I'm briging it and everything I need to install it in my "wounded" roadster that's in storgae in AZ. Plan to leave the middle of next month.

[Henry/Kokomo]

Getting ready to swap a newly rebuilt 8ba into my '46 Tudor. Will also change out clutch and transmission. May replace column shift with late 50's / early 60's Hurst floor shift conversion and install tach at the same time.

Getting everything together to adjust the valves on my '51 six cylinder. Its been 5 years and about 15,000 miles since the last time. Not a one afternoon job.

After that I hope to set the engine in my A-V8 '30 coupe project so I can get everything located in the frame.

The chassis work on my '39 1/2 Ton continues. Just found the correct 3-speed rebuilt trans. Hopefully by the end of the year I'll have the brakes, front and rear end all done. Then it's on to the steering!

Struggling with my '36 slant. Working toward firing the engine for the first time...maybe next week. Still got to put the headlights and hood on and wire the front end, all electrics from the firewall back have been finished. Finished the spare and spare tire carrier today and striped the body. I try to spend at least one hour each day buffing chrome. Currently doing the beauty rings and hubcaps. They sure do look better after they have been bench buffed.

I have been working a a 34 three window over the last two years. Its been a long haul. The car had been a drag car and the body needed alot of metal work to get it to this orginial point. I started with the chassis and did the eng. trans. and quickchange rear. I just finished all the wood in the body. Getting ready to hang the doors and deck lid. They are painted and ready to install.

Year and a half restoration on a 39 Std. Coupe. Fresh rebuild on engine and transmission, new black paint job, and chrome. Only thing left is upholstery. You can tell when your restoration is near the end, when you pull the last parts out from under the bed.
