    Thanks Bobby,

    For the good words. This is taking much longer than I thought (doesn't it always?). One of the reasons is of course money but another is with the machinery I have now that I didn't have when I started this I am able to do more improvements than first planed. More pics to come.

    Jack.

    No rubber clips?
    A very nice job, those will do very nicely!

    Thanks bluestang,

    More pics of the new hangers. Turning radius on big end, machining the bosses for the screws, drilling holes for the screws, using the slitting saw to cut the cap from the main body.

    Still more pics,

    One showing the mostly finished hangers, they still need some minor profiling and polishing. Next is a shot of the new drip pan for the rear window (still needs mounting brackets and the drain hole and pipe) and two shots of the old drip pan showing the need for a new one. I made the new one from some scrap SS I found, it's not as pretty as a store bought one but I can say I made it myself and I won't have to worry about this one rusting out, besides, I'm a tight wad. Last is a shot of the wood that the pan mounts to, it's in pretty good shape except for the right leg. I will make a new one.

    Just a few shots of the installed drip pan. One of the drip pan without the board to mount the window crank. In this shot you can see the new leg I made on the drivers side to replace the rotted one. You can also see that I mis-marked the holes for the mounting brackets as the pan droops to the passenger side and the apron that fits up under the window hangs below the flange. Will have to re-drill the mounting holes to raise the pan on that side and fill the wrong holes. A shot of the pan with the board attached showing better that the pan doesn't fit right. Last is a shot from the rear that also shows the drain spout. How does that saying go; measure twice, drill once? At least being SS I will never have do this pan again.

    Now Jack you are making progress and all those little jobs add up to a excellent finished car. Like those exhaust hangers are too cool to be hidden under your car. I can see why you had to build the new drip tray too, very old rust had finally won the battle. Your car is looking good.
    I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

    Thanks Whiplash,

    Actually the drip pan was rusted out when I bought the coupe 44 years ago. I made a fiberglass liner for it then but it still looked like crap. Thought I should build a better one this time. It isn't perfect but it is a lot nicer than the last one.

    Jack.
