What rims are they on?

 

[TiredIronGRB]

The front ones are '39 Olds (to fit the 5 on 5 Buick hubs) the rear ones are 40 Ford 5 on 5.5. All four are 16x4.

Well it's been fun but I'm not coming in here anymore cause it makes me giddy and jealously has set in pretty bad........so see ya!


Kidding of course, awesome build! I'd love to go for a ride sometime ........I could be at your place in about 5 hours

I finished up the wiring and put the deck lid, cowl cover and windshield on...I'll be headed to the muffler shop Monday.

Needs some pinstripping bad...

I love your car. You did a fantastic job on it and sooooo fast! Can't wait to do my traditional 29 sport coupe.

Just had to go read this one all the way from the beginning again. This is such a neat build and the results so far are incredible. My first hot rod was a '30 and I've always have been partial to them.

Thanks guys, I do get a little carried away on my builds...once I start one I don't let up till it's done. Now if I can just hang on to it a month or two.

Just out of curiosity... what radiator are you running looks like one I just ordered up for my build from Dillion radiator out of MN

I went back and checked and it was a Dillon, very good quality and crazy cheap $199.

A good friend of mine came over and brought me something to fill the holes in my cowl...

Another superior hot rod, TIGRB. Can you tell us what paint you used. Details would be appreciated. Like ease of application, cost, etc.

 

[TiredIronGRB]

It's just a flat enamel by Marine Finishes tinted to match the Harley Olive Green. I used it on a lot of the old WWII jeeps and trucks I used to build. It's very forgiving and I always thin it with mineral spirits so it dries slower and leaves a more even finish.

Got the exhaust done today...now to put some miles on it.
