1939 Coupe before and after pics

[Guest Grant Magrath]

Since the restoration is nearing the completion mark after a bit over 2 years, I thought I'd share a few before and after pictures. Thanks to everyone who helped. You know who you are!

Some more to come!

Cheers

Hey Grant,

Nice work, more to come I hope.

Is the boot original or has it been replaced ??

I ask as it looks somewhat different to my Holden body.

Is there an access plate for the petrol gauge sender unit ??

It appears to be flat so what does the petrol tank rest against ??

The Holden body has contours pressed into it for the tank to rest against.

The Holden body is very different to the Fisher

Actually Danny, the boot was the best part of the car, and only the rear roll pan needed any work done. No access for the sender. It's been a while since I put the tank in, so I can't remember what the deal is there, although I have to drop the tank and fix the sender wire. It got pinched when I fitted the tank up, and has worn through meaning the gauge doesn't work.
