Thanks for the compliments!

The goal is to do all the work myself. It will take a few years, but it is my midlife crisis car!

I have done most of the work before in some capacity on other cars in my past. I did the muscle car thing for quite a few years, then the street rod thing. I sold off a couple cars to build this one.

I still have a 55 Chevy 210 (pretty rotten, but has a lot of local history)

Also a fiberglass 32 Ford 3 Window coupe and a 29 Ford roadster pickup. Neither of these are enjoyable to drive.

Now its time to build something you can drive hard and enjoy!

I've been slacking, this is all the progress I have made.

Blew it back apart to put on rotisserie to do some work.

Fit the AC, and welded in firewall plate, Removed roof skin, blasted the inner structure, DP primed, and installed new skin.

Now trying to figure out how to narrow the rear seat upholstery to maintain the original pattern. In the last pic you can see the patter and I need to narrow the seat back 2" per side. The band around the insert is only 1-3/4"

I will figure it out, just chewing on it for a while. in the meantime next will be raising the area under the rear seat bottoms for more muffler clearance.
