Stopped at the Body shop today....Doors in primer......George, the Artist doing the body work on the car ended up cutting out and rebuilding the Trunk channel seal area because it didn't meet his standards.......Great to have someone who cares working on the car.....







Heres a picture of the Paint Shop area of the building......No mess here...........

Pro looking facility and from the sound of it a pro guy working there. Sounds like your car is in great hands.

Still looking great. Do you have a time frame for completion? I would be getting so excited at this point...

 

Got the fuel tank finished, leak checked, and the GTO pump assembled in the tank...Turned out pretty good.........Hope it works...........LOL

Ken, you're doing an awesome job on the '37, can't wait to see it finished.

Can you tell me more about the 90º elbow in the air intake? Where did you get it and can I find the dimensions for it? I'm using an LS1 in my '32 Coupe project and room is very tight between the throttle body and radiator, I need to relocate the MAF and filter element. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Actually.......I took a chance and bought this off Ebay and got Lucky....

Thanks Ken!!

 

Would you mind sharing that hood latch information? I'm needing one and that looks pretty good.

 

As I remember, it's a late 60's VW beetle latch assy.......Gonna be cable operated and it has a safety latch........Cheap and neat...




Cable release mechanism is from a Hyundai.....it has two levers, one for the trunk and one for the Hood......it's mounted behind the drivers seat against the rear quarter....

Going to pick the frame up today from the Stripper....Need to do a little finish welding and mounting, paint and assembly..........Getting to the fun part

Ken

 

Absolutely beautiful work! One of my favorite body styles. Keep it up... Subscribed

 

Went and picked up the frame today from the Stripper........Need to do some finish welding and add some brackets etc....Then paint and then the real fun starts....."Final" assy.......Gonna be gone for a couple of weeks so there won't be any updates for a few





Ken

 

Stopped at the Body shop again and George has repaired the rear pan to his standards......Also........Paint color was finalized...........

Look what I have to work with..........I'm a "Spoiled" Brat......In my younger years it would have been a lot better......Now....I just want to get it done and drive the wheels off it........LOL

The damage under the trunk must have been a surprise judging by what it looked like before stripping the paint off.

Why was I thinking it was going to be blue???

 

Oh wait, I remember why now!

 

Hahaha!!! Don't feel bad, I wasn't thinking the butler did it either!

 

Anyone have a pic or info on the tool that releases this fuel rail fitting?






Thanks
