Interest in new restoration project thread?

[wamnram]

Awesome Kube, I'm just getting started on my 36 Cabriolet so I could definitely use some pointers!

Since I am finishing up my 40 V8 business coupe, I would be very interested to see what I could have done better! Of course I would love to follow your restoration!

I can't match your workmanship. No how, no way.

 

[Kube]

Okay guys... THANKS for all of the (too) kind messages.
I'll start the thread ASAP. I have no doubt a lot of it will be akin to watching paint dry. The "fun' part to me is when stuff starts going back together. That'll be quite a while.

Sounds like a great idea to me.

Wow! That looks like a great car to start with. Is it as solid as it appears? Fairly complete? Are you planning a concourse type restoration?

Kube, Yes, its complete, even has matching serial on frame and ******. I will restore to like original as best I can. My skills allow me to achieve what I call an "amateur' restoration. May try to do better with this one though.

Some of you have expressed interest throughout the past that you'd enjoy a thread wherein I'd show the progress and perhaps some methods to one of my restorations.
I am just beginning a ground up, concourse restoration on a '40 Ford Business coupe.
So, the question is (kind of a poll), "who might enjoy this?"
Mind you, it (the restoration) will take approximately one year.

Any chance you could document it with a GoPro? Easy to use, edit and post. If you don't have one, the early ones, 3 Hero, are cheap enough on e-bay.

Yes, very interested!

 

[Ol' Ron]

Yes please, the 40 is one of my favorite cars. Hi Wayno great hearing from you, take care.

Both hands up. Both eyes and ears open.

 

[Bob NH]

YES Mike, let's light this candle !

 

[19Fordy]

I am in. Thanks, Mike.

You could actually make this into a book showing what's entailed in each part of a restoration.

Such as: exterior, frame and chassis, drive train, interior, wiring, glass, suppliers, etc.

 

[Terranova]

Oh yes. Excited

 

[Ford46]

Looking forward to it!

 

[Ricosan]

I’m in!

 

[B-O-B]

Move over there bud I need a seat for this one. I'm in, Take your time.

 

[Bill E Bob]

Let's see some of your elegant engineering.

Uh, Mike, I think it is the other way around! But thanks!

 

[deuce_roadster]
