I am going to replace the clutch in my '47 super deluxe (my avatar). A brand new experience for me.

The pics shows my car after I shot it with PPG epoxy primer. I've since hit the car, doors hood, fenders & trunk lid with hi-fill primer, so I plan to spend the Winter sanding, sanding & more sanding, in between a heart surgery & back surgery. If it's ready for color by Spring, I'll be a happy camper!

Hoping to get a running motor in the 35, and take care of brakes so it’s drivable in the spring.

Where are all these Three Window Coupes appearing from? Love them.

Re: Let’s see what you’re working on this winter

Continue on the chassis and possibly get the flathead pulled for the start of the rebuild on the green pickup. Will do a good cleaning and check on the coupe also.

Stop dragging my feet..... literally. ‘51 Tudor, motor has been done for awhile. Floor patch panels are made. I’m gonna get them welded in and hopefully get it rewired this winter. It’s no restoration. Just a dependable driver. I hope..... Mark

Re: Let’s see what you’re working on this winter

Finally got all the paint work done now the bugs in the engine to get to run as it should. Will install new clutch and pressure plate and maybe a U-joint. Then the brakes to be rebuilt with floaters to help them. Thinking about having the dash and window frames woodgrain. A good Manny parts to be nickel plated as they should be. Did get all new tires at Hershey. Trying to put the car back to original as Henry made it. Not easy.

Re: Let’s see what you’re working on this winter

Well its coming into summer here..
Not a big project just about to fit a slingshot setup. I thought I'd be just about to fit the new engine ..but nooo, not much has happened since Easter when I dropped it off, except a lot of f*ck ups..
Yes there is a 94 and 97 on in the picture , its just for mock up but will run two 97's.

Re: Let’s see what you’re working on this winter

Ahhh Lawrie... Here's where we're at. Its been line bored and I had it crack tested [all ok] the crank / big ends has been done for the floating flanged bearings and I'd say about now the main bearings are being fitted - turned. The flywheel has been re-drilled for the 9" clutch and lightened a little. I intend to go out on Friday and see it all, then I will have it sent off for balancing.. So its starting to move finally...
