A pic of the "project"

Attached is a pic of the "project." She obviously needs work, but I've been down this road before, so it's not too scary.

All the parts you don't see -- skirts, trim, handles, etc, etc. -- are boxed up somewhere else. I'm making a list of what I need to fix / restore / replace, which will keep me busy for awhile.

If you look closely, you can see the lead work around the headlights (which will need to be redone) and where the floors were completely replaced.

And yes, those front fenders will need *alot* of work <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Dear Cecil,I know it is along way down the road,just wondering if you have picked a color for the body?diz <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Dale -

The car was originally the dark red color you often see on these cars (not maroon). Here is a link to a car with the same color:

I'm 90% sure I'll stick with it, but if I don't, it would be the maroon. And yes, it's a *long* way down the road! <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Cecil,

I could only see one picture, was that all there was? For some reason that is all my browser pulled up. Great project, I did a 41 Ford Coupe that was just as bad, if not worse. What a car you are going to have when you are done. Back from the grave. By the way, Pete, from England, sent me pics of his 39 coupe today and included a couple of pics that showed his friend's 37 coupe. Nice looking vehicles!

This will keep you out of the streets for a while.
