    I have a sun visor. The main things I'm missing are the inner door latches, window handles and regulators, and door hinges (not sure which ones are with the coupe).

    Ok on the visor Tom, wanted to be sure.. The front fenders are slowly coming around, they were kinda nasty!!!! The original metal that was there is so thin I had to add a backer to it just to get enough strength in them so they would hold the correct shape!!! Slow procedure, but they're coming along.

    Yeah, they are... Not even close to done.... had to finish this fender so I could use it to make a pattern of the inner edge that bolts to the frame rail for the other fender----it's completely gone on the other side!!!!!! Stuff like this keeps you thinking, anyway....

    Nice looking work!!!!!! Them fenders are some of the best I ever came across. You should have seen the ones I rejected.

    Talked to my buddy about Maple Syruping; he got the trees tapped Saturday and hung about half the buckets, I'll finish hanging them tomorrow. Suppose to warm up for three days so I should get some syrup made from the First Run which in most peoples opion is the best. I myself like one of the later runs, stronger maple taste. The sap keeps flowing as long as it freezes at night and is above freezing in the day. Sure hope it's a long season.

    Dave gave me some encouragement today!!!

     



    I finally got out to the shop and got that big hunk of alluminum in. Everything seems to fit. I can't find any real clearance issues. And best yet....get to use the stock assessory brackets.

    Thanks Stu Cool for suggesting the Corvette motor mounts. They should work very nice.















    And finally....the radiator

    Thanks Dave. I just needed your encouragement and a little good weather. Man I love finally getting to do this. I can't tell you how much I've wanted to build one of these. I still have nearly every Hot Rod magizine put out since 1983. I'm nutz about these older rides. Now I can't wait to go on a vacation to Colorado in the thing. Just itching to get her out and stretch her legs for a long trip. LOL's. I know thats a long ways off. But I'll get there.

I was working on other parts of the rpu and didn't have to use the doors right away, so I set them outside (July) for a week. at the end of the week it was all slumped into a gooey mess in the bottom of the doors.---I took it all out and used Dynamat.
    Thanks for the warning, Brian. I'm just going to use it on the floor but maybe a coat of 3M adhesive will be in order first. That would suck if it started coming loose. I was looking back at some earlier pictures of the coupe, Dave. That's an amazing job you did to save that body. I always wonder about cars that old. If they could talk to us they could tell some incredible stories. The generations of people they transported to work, church, shopping, to visit relatives. All of the family conversations that were carried on within their walls; from the birth of a new family member to the death of a beloved grandparent. They've seen it all. At some point they were traded to a new family, and then maybe another and another. One day someone put her in the barn or behind the shed and turned off the key for the last time where she became the playground for a young man who dreamed of his first time behind the wheel of his own car. Or maybe him and his sidekick pretended to be infamous bankrobbers as sped away from the police. You can almost see the little guy leaning out the window with his capgun yelling,"You'll never take me alive coppers!" And just when it looked like history closed the books and she was going to be absorbed back into the earth, someone looked at her rusted remains and said, "You're not finished yet." Now, after a lot hard work, she'll be part of someones family again; hearing all those intimate conversations as she takes them from one place to place. And people wonder why I think old cars are so fascinating.

    Got the intercooler mounted finally.
    I bent some aluminum strap & made 4 mounts & welded them to the cooler. I probably should have started on somethin' else as my first
    aluminum welding project. Oh well, It looks like it'll hold.


    I didn't want to solid mount it so I put rubber grommets in them with steel sleeves so I can torque the bold down with squashin' the little buggers.


    Got the cold side plumbed to the plastic carb.



    If I can get it in N' out without the boot through the firewall I'll weld the 2 pcs. together so I can put a clean lookin' grommet on the firewall.
