1949 Business coupe update

[bob w]

Let me be the umpteenth person to congratulate you on a job well done. Your patience, along with your skill were required for this project.

Ya know, a great cruise for you next summer would be to come up to Back to the 50's, here in Mosquitosota.

Thanks all; Im ready to drive it rather than work on it for a while. That would be a fun cruise, Bob.

Nice work Pat! I just watched your video. been while since I have listened to the Guess Who [cl

 

[falconvan]

Yeah, that's good stuff, John. They were a great band.

I should be doing a short road test tomorrow; over the last few days I wrapped up a lot of little stuff. I built a new shifter handle with some 1/2" stainless rod, wired the radio and put a check engine light in next to it, got the carpet and seat back in, plus some other goodies. Still a fairly good list of misc to finish but it should start making some short shakedown trips this week.

Success! Two trips down the road and back without a hitch!

A run to Bonneville maybe?

Thanks, all. Other than a few minor bugs to address, it's pretty much done. My wife and I gave it a bath today and took it out a little. It runs and drives really nice. Should be hitting the first show next weekend.

That's a sweet car. Well done and thanks for taking us along.

NICE,NICE VERY NICE!! Congrats on a job well done

 

[falconvan]

Thanks! It was really nice to actually drive something instead of working on it the whole weekend. I hit two shows Saturday and drove it around a lot both days. Lots of confused people trying to figure out what the engine was. Still got a few minor bugs to address but it's all stuff I can fix on the fly. Im taking it to a Saturday night Main Street cruise next weekend; i'll try and do a short video while I'm there.

Seems I forget that part about driving them after they're built.

Glad to see it on the road and giving you lots of enjoyment. She's a neat one.
