Roger, I was referring to the rear pan that had to be cut and fit. I could tell it was N & N from the beginning. I should have quoted the post I was referring to.

Just had me confused - didn't see any mention of Gibbon in this thread, and couldn't see where it was coming from. I forgot about the source of the rear pan.

Jack would love to heard about your long backstory but don't want to get you blood pressure up to high... the roll pan is the only thing i bought from Gibbons and i knew it wouldn't fit going in so i wasn't surprised... as soon as my wife lets me out of the house i'll get to work on it again and shoot some more pictures..glad you like it..

Jack is there somewhere i can see more pictures of your coupe??

Just for a tip; you can see many of Jack's (or anyone else's for that matter) postings by using the "advanced search" feature in the upper right corner of this page. For instance, I typed in "Gibbon" for subject, and "Henry Rifle" for member name and got back a long list of posts that Jack has done mentioning Gibbon. In the past 10 years it's been bounced around a LOT, and on many of those re: Gibbon I was right there with him, albeit to a lesser degree. Unfortunately when the site owner changed software formats a few years ago we lost just about all the photo attachments that were great history. Hopefully Jack will post up some fresh ones, or repeats, as he did a very nice job overcoming the difficulties sent his way.

I didn't do a build log, but I've put a few photos on photobucket at this link:

I also have a short video that ended when the cameraman lost his nerve.

Didn't intend to hijack your thread . . .

BTW, I'm requesting that comments on my build not be made here. This is Parkwood's thread. I'm just answering his request.

Thanks!

Jack thanks for the pictures and video and it was short... nice way to mess up your interior... and not to worry about hijacking the thread i did it to Rogers thread when i first got on...

I have been working on the coupe and not spending all my time posting pictures of the suburban... It doesn't look like anything is getting done but the wires all falling into place.. For you jack i did get the gibbons roll pan all bolted up with working lights... worked on getting the head lights wired and was going to install the inter fenders today but didn't like the rub out that came on them so i'll be doing a little rubbing on them tomorrow...

Whooooooooooooo------I've been delaying working on Robins 33 3 door until I could get some room for it and a couple others inside the shop and make this winter for us instead of doing things for other people---and I been working around trying to get away from my California Charger TF image and make her car just a clean everyday driver-- after the posts on CHR the past few weeks, I'm srta leaning away from that idea and thinking about maybe a polished q/c and headers/sidepipes like I built for a customers car that is pic'd in my gallery--------If She (note the capital S) would pick blue as a color I would probabily go down that path but she seems to want a candy red so I am able to resist the urge to go for the best of show and just do the driver(non trailer) BUT, I do have 2 more frames with roadster bodies plus one with a cabrilae? body and I do want to make one with a Hemi and a Flathead that I can interchange at random intervals(one license/title,paint,upholstry)----


And its all Parkwoods fault to cause this urge to surface--------------------

Oh Jerry..........................................stop fighting it. Draw additional inspiration from one of your contemporaries of racing years gone bye (albeit a different class most of the time)...............Big John Mazmanian. Candy red, lots of polish, and still functional! Just do it!!

All that shiny is definitely sweet!

I just learned something....I found out where Shingle Springs is located. Cool area with a lot of history.

Yes Ryan take a good look it'll never be this clean again....

Well i did get a little something done today, got the inter fenders color sanded again and rubbed out and install late today..got the steering column in and the last of the wiring for the turn switch made up the only bad thing was when we went to test all the light we couldn't get the turn signals to flash they just came on bright and that was it... I'm using LED lights and found out that there wasn't enough draw on the light to make the flasher work.. called the hot rod shop i deal with in Sacramento and have to run down there monday morning and pick up a flasher made for LED lights...other than that all seem to be good.. with a little luck one day next week will be start up day..
