    Seeking advice for my 1928 Sport Coupe

    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...

    A Tease

    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...

Do dimensions for sport coupe body exists fellas? I have searched through historical sites but can't find the body dimensions on the...

    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...

    Seeking advice for my 1928 Sport Coupe

    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?

    Tinbasher thank you for the shipping advice. I am not too far from you, half way between CFB Borden and Angus. I located a new frame for the '35. Going to take it off the frame today so I can get the Sport Coupe into the shop. Can't wait to start blasting it and painting it. For those of you...
