I'm in agreement with Don on your coupe. Absolutely lovely!!! The rake, the new motor and that steering wheel looks so good, I am so envious.
I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

Finally got everyhting to fit right. They just didn't make enough room under the hood in the Model 40s. 2" longer would have made a world of difference.

Jack.
One step closer. It runs! Click on photo for video.
I'm still waiting for my upper radiator hoses. Then I'll take it down and have my "Smithy" mufflers installed.

There is just something so special about survivors like this one and Jacks coupe. It is almost sacreligious to repair their paint and upholstery. These are cars you literally dust off and drive the wheels off of.

Yes, I agree. I also believe that we don't really own them. Yes, we paid for them but that is merely the fee we paid to become their caretakers. Eventually it will be passed down to someone else to look after it. Originally Posted by Itoldyouso

Don and dmw,
It's been so long since I have driven mine (except for one short trip to the house from the shop to make room for the wifes car in the shop) when I do get it on the road again I will be driving it for a good long while. When I do finally give it up, if none of the grand kids show an interest in it I will most likely sell it.
Jack.
P.S. the repair part of the bathroom repair/remodel job is being a bugger. As soon as that is done it's back to the shop and the 34.www.clubhotrod.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44081

Here is a copy of the bill of sale when the previous owner bought the Coupe in 1958:

dmw, even in 1958 that was a real deal.

Finally got the upper radiator hoses done with new thermostats.
Replaced the plywood toeboard with sheet metal and made a master cylinder cover.
