    WOW again Dave!!!!!!! The coupe looks soooooooooooo good!!!!!
    How'd you like grinding off that orginal paint on that right corner?
    Well I got some pictures from the Car show/swap meet today at Webster FL.
    I'll post the first one here for you Dave to drool over.... however the body work doesn't even come close to what do. I'll post the other ones under "Webster show".
    I'll be signing off in a couple of hours.

    Getting the "little stuff" done never does look like you made a lot of progress, but it's all stuff that has to be done!!!!

    Soon as it gets warm enough to leave the doors open for awhile, my garage is going to get thoroughly cleaned, too!!!

    Tom, that original paint is probably the toughest stuff I have ever had to grind off of a car!!!! It just laughs at sandpaper!!! Nothing less then 36 grit will even touch it!!!

    Falconvan---gotta warn you about that peel and stick that you have. It works fine on a floor (not unlike a roof), but it falls off of vertical or overhead surfaces. I tried to cut costs by using it when I built the roadster pickup. I did an excellent prep job on the inside of the doors, went over it with a roller, did all the right stuff. I was working on other parts of the rpu and didn't have to use the doors right away, so I set them outside (July) for a week. at the end of the week it was all slumped into a gooey mess in the bottom of the doors.---I took it all out and used Dynamat.

    Coupe is getting real close to getting a life Dave, what is the roof going to be constructed out of? Wood maybe or metal? Just curious I really like the look of that coupe.

    Have to ask Tom for sure, but I think it is going to be similar to the material the factory put on them.... Heck, he wouldn't even let me weld the rear fenders on the body!!!!!!

    It would sure be a great candidate for a sun roof of some kind huh?

    Had to bolt the fenders on the car, tired of chasing them around the stand trying to do the ding and ping with them... After 80 years they're going to take some work, but they can be saved...

    Dave---I have to agree---there ain't nothing much squirmier (is that a word?) than an early A or T fender thats not bolted to the car. I have, in the past, cut out half circles of 3/4" plywood that matched the "bolt up" surface of the fender, bolted the fender to the plywood, then screwnailed the plywood to a workbench, for doing bodywork on them.---Brian

    This is what I had to do to finish mine off - there just is no easy way to fasten them down - plus there are lots of pieces to do - my count was 28 separate items, big and small, that needed a jig of some sort for prep and paint for my car. I've disassembled some of them now, but have kept the pieces, JIC
