1939 Chevy Coupe Hot Rod - Finished - 1/13

Mighty fine work on that engine son. The linkage and fuel block work is KILLER!!!! hand-clapping-smiley-emoticon

JB, I'm so glad you put that picture up there. I have brass linkage like Ice used and for the life of me I couldn't figure how to hook it up on sideways carburetors. This is the best picture I have seen and I have looked at many, and listen, Iceman did a fine job hooking that photo etched linkage up anyway at all. That stuff is well made but some kind of fiddly. I haven't had the nuts to try it yet.

All help is appreciated jesse. Thank you. It's like I was mentioning to Dennis on another thread. I see something similar to what I'm building and I try, try being the key word there, to replicate it. Here's the pic I used for reference since I saw Edelbrock covers, I thought it would go. I know what I built still is not exact to his pic. It it's what I based the look on. So for additional help, what's the difference between the one you posted and this one? I plan on one day understanding at least a little more so I can increase my skill. If I can hook up this throttle spring, I'm sure I can manage to build something correct. Better do it before I lose my eyesight too. Oh, and does anyone know where I can buy more patience? I'm going to need more of that. Lol

Oh I know and trust me, I'm all ears with this stuff. I ask Hemi questions all the time about...yup you guessed it. So I will also turn to you on future builds. I'm so dumb with this stuff all carbs look similar to me. I do have some Holley carbs in resin I've been wanting to use. They just look bigger than other and appear out of scale.

Bought a drill and finished the seats. A bit modern for the style of this build, I think. Not sure yet if I will keep them. Was able to finish the chassis on this one and add the wheels I left drying last night. I had already laid primer on the body. Sanded all the way down to 12000 grit. Mock up just to see what it looks like until I can find the color of paint I have in mind. Looks good in primer, but the wife suggested a maroon with black accents instead of chrome. I think she might be on to something. This is it for a while until I can finish the MOTM build.








Happy little fella.

Very Very cool Iceman smileyCA9464IN_zpsd9ee499f

Thanks guys. Put most of he chrome parts in place to move it off the bench to make space for something else.

This one just kept staring at me from the corner. Although the plan was to go with a dark maroon in color, its just looked finished to me. So I'm calling it. Maybe I'll bring it back to the booth for paint but for now, it's going in the shelf. Here's the teaser and look for more in the finished section.

Not the same one. Same kit built two different ways. This is the second one.

awesome work.. praising-the-lord-smiley-emoticon
