Hi bob. Yes the water adds density and removes the heat, it does not warp panels. Works great. I use glass in my system, mind you I can use sand as well but glass is preferred. Thank you for the compliments, I can't wait to get this car together. I saw some videos on youtube and the banger motor...

So I got a bit of work done. Hoping to get this motor working shortly... I did swap some tires around, bigger compressor tires on the rear for now and white walls on the front. Was missing a mount so I have two new ones off a spare frame. Got the wood blocks fitted. New pieces put in...

Got busy and project was on hold, here are some pics from before and now. Blasted it so I could start working on it. I thought I could repair the subrails since I want to improve my fab and welding skills so I started just that. Sorry for the ****** pic quality here. Not gonna lie to...

Pgerhardt, great work. I'm going to assume you box modeled this? How long did it take you? Where did you get the reference images from? Love it! I know some guys are picky on the coloring but it's just not a feasible task for everyone with different monitors and how they are calibrated. Adobe...

Cool thanks Tinbasher. My hood is a little bent on the panels but that shouldn't be a big issue. We do this because if you don't the hood can be out of alignment? Do dimensions for sport coupe body exists fellas? I have searched through historical sites but can't find the body dimensions on the...

Hello gents happy new year. I am getting back to work on my car now. I decided to keep the original subrails and repair them instead of ordering a reproduction set. Just ordered a bunch of parts, door handles both inside and out, rods, latches, front leaf spring with reversed eyes, body mounting...

Does anyone have detailed pics on how these mount to frame? Thanks!

Still looking for rears and potential running boards.

Rusty, I sent you a pm. My car is currently in pieces, even the body. Looking to see this mounted on a frame without the body if this is possible..

Hi gents, can you guys provide me with some quality pictures of sub rails mounted on the frame please and thank you. I am almost done repair the originals on my car and need to see how they look, (they weren't riveted in the frame when I got the car). Thanks kindly.

Looking for front and rear fenders that match for my 1928 business coupe. Running boards are a plus. Thanks.

Hi guys. I'm glad I found this thread. Perhaps I can explain things from my point of view to possibly help the community. I just turned 24. I'm sure I am one of the younger guys on this board..this will be a long post but I will try to explain how I found my way into this wonderful world of...

I think I can understand what you guys are saying now. If I fabricate the brackets to all be the same, would that be acceptable or is this frowned upon? Thanks.

Bruskie, thanks for the advice. I thought this would be ideal but was not sure if people dissected the whole thing for restoration. I'll try to brace it up today. Thanks Bob, I think I will be able to find some on Kijiji that are original or I can get some from Snyders or another company...

Ah my mistake, yes I do mean the body subrails. Okay so I am looking in the wrong area for the cars build identification. Quick edit here - when I blast these parts and prime with epoxy, should I do 3 coats of primer even for metal work?
