 this is the rear shock crossmember getting sleeved where the shocks bolt up.
 Here is the crossmember installed with all suspension. Turned out great, just as planned.

 This is the rolling chassis, It is sitting at ride height. The Merc should look great.




The radiator, engine and transmission are mounted. Next is plumbing the rear brakes and a fuel line and it is finished.

SHOP UPDATE: Tim's Merc chassis is getting closer


 I had to assemble the new rear coilover shocks

 This is the new lower four link crossmember I made. I had a friend put the bend in it for me and I fabricated all the tabs. Worked out perfectly.
 I mounted the proportioning valve and run the front brake lines. I may have gotten a little ahead of myself. I forgot about the placement of the motor mounts. Hope it all works out without to much re-work.
I fabricated a crossmember for the core support, Should be dropping the engine in this weekend.

SHOP UPDATE: Butchering a perfectly good Model A







Well, there ya have it. Now I have a good idea what it will really look like. I have a bit more fitting to get the body all the way down. Then I can clean up the radius of the new wheel wells and start the tin work inside the body. The steel for the frame rails will be here today so I can finish up the frame and install the coil overs. Then she's a roller again. Next is engine and trans and the chop. She is going to be cool for sure.

SHOP UPDATE: Today's progress on the 28 sedan







I made some good progress on the rear suspension today. I tacked all the new four link brackets to the 9 inch Ford rear axle and cut the frame off and located the frame brackets. I will order some tubing and finish the rear frame rails and we have a rolling chassis. i need to get this thing rolling so It can be moved around, we are shuffling cars around here like maniacs.

FOR SALE: 1940 Ford Deluxe opera coupe project











FOR SALE: 1940 Ford Deluxe opera coupe. I am not sure why I am even listing this car for sale. With that being said, here it goes. This coupe has very minimal rust. The doors, cowl, quarter panels are rust free. It has a few small holes in the floor pan. The rear tail-pan is junk but comes with a replacement tail-pan that is nice. The pass. front fender is very nice. The drivers front needs work but is a good start. The drivers rear needs work but is savable. The pass rear is questionable. The hood needs work. The trunk lid is good, needs work on the inside from past repair work. It has all the interior garnish moldings. Very nice dash. I also have both bumpers and the brackets. The frame is clean and straight with no issues and rolls on stock axles with hydraulic brakes. This car does have its fair share of dings and dents. It needs plenty of hammer and dolly work. This is a pretty rare opportunity here. This is the only 40 coupe I have ever found. They just do not come around often.
Price is $5500.00 Contact me if interested.
