I guess it could be the right, or the other right, or one of the aforementioned lefts.....More or less.

I hope Denny turns that thing over again so I can work on it tomorrow, to heavy to flip by myself!!!!!

To eliminate any more confusion as to left, right, passenger or driver's side, I was referring to the passenger side of the garage..... Hopefully this will clarify everything.

At one time I thought about making suicide doors on the coupe to make it easier for me to get in and out, soooooooooooooooo the passenger door would be on the drivers side and visa versa.
Now Dave how would you refer to that set up??????? Cunfused yet?

.................The "OTHER" left.............

You're RIGHT

I like the six banger idea, Tom. That should make a sweet ride when Dave gets your body finished. I got a little time in yesterday, seems to be going slow lately. I did get the rear springs cleaned up, painted and remounted along with a 2" drop kit. I have to send the rearend to the shop because I cant get the hub off of either side to look at the brakes. I destroyer my puller and a rental from Auto Zone trying to get them off. Also got the heater in and the controls from the 50 Dodge that I bought for parts installed. This is a really cool looking little heater control! The picture didnt come out to well but here it is anyway.

Neat little heater panel Falcon!!! How the heck could we survive without parts cars, huh????? The dash is really looking nice!

Thanks, Dave. Wish I lived closer to you, that's some great looking bodywork on Tom's coupe! Parts cars are definately a plus, you just never know what you'll be able to use. I'm ending up with so many different years and brands in this truck, it's starting to sound like Johnny Cash's psycobilly Caddillac!

Thanks, a guy has to do what he can do to preserve some of this vintage tin.... Heck, they quit making em!!!!! I've never been a "numbers matching" kind of guy and have always enjoyed picking and choosing a few parts from some of the leftovers from other projects and plain old parts cars pieces. Makes the whole build process a bit more interesting.

About 10 months ago I put up some pics of some random left over parts I had laying around and asked what folks thought should be done with them. Got a couple pages of suggestions, but truth be told, I already had something in mind before posting. I can't seem to find the old thread because of search limits to twenty pages, or it may have been one of the ones that just disappeared into the ether during one of the failures. Anyway, the first pic below is that previous one of the parts laid out, the next three are what has become of them. This is just a side line deal as the roadster in the background is the primary project here, so it will probably take a couple more years to become something.

Looks good Bob!!!! Gonna be another roadster or ?????

very nice Bob, that looks like a great start.

And now working on whichever side the other side is, and the fenders....

That's looking right fine there Dave.
