Joe your coupe looks great did you paint the body on or of the chassis.

Paul I made a cart out of some 2x6s that followed the sills to support the body through all the body work & paint. 4 of us picked it up & put it on the chassis after it was painted. Mike I get more done if I work by myself. Sheri helps if it's a 2 person job but mostly it's just me....Joe ![[Linked Image from vccachat.org]](https://vccachat.org/gallery/48/full/4194.jpg)

Beautiful rare car joe. If I recall, only about 1907 or so were built. I sold a 33 mercury RS coupe 26 years ago when we adopted my son. I missed it so much I searched for years and finally found my current 33 Eagle (early production) RS coupe.
It's nice to see the car being preserved. It looks great.

Thank you. Seat went to the upholstery shop yesterday & the painter said I should have the front sheet metal by the end of next week. My inventory of running board mats should be here in a week or so also. Lebaron Bonney is restoring my rear shade so thing are coming together....Joe

Today I snapped a bolt where the ball housing bolts onto the tranny. :(
I finally got all the leaks resolved and my tranny is no longer gray but the propper black. Just about got the bolt repaired, came in for a cup of coffee. Turned on the computer to VCCA forum. Reading this post was great and your pics are motivating. I am pointing out how labor intensive these projects are. As we will all agree, it's all worth it. Great photos. Thank you.

I'm trying my best to get it done. I'm supposed to meet the family who bought it 1955 at Tahoe. They live in the Seattle area & the car was sold new in Cle Elum Washington. The car was never supposed to leave the family but accidently did. The lady & her son are on my Facebook & watch the progress. They are happy I ended up with it. So...I have a mission.....Joe

Joe, that's awesome progress! I had an apt in Phoenix for a year so know what you are going through with the heat.......Try opening the door from the house and putting a huge fan pointing into the garage......I did that here in NJ and while it did drive my electric bill higher since the AC ran longer in the house I was able to gain a few hours of work temp in the closed garage.......amazing progress.....keep hydrated.....  ......with water of course!

Thanks Jeff. Your thought would probably work if this garage was attached to the house. I told a friend of mine I'm not doing another car without dividing the garage into a 1/3 2/3 combo & putting a mini split on the small side. Always hydrated in Tucson. A water bottle is a fashion statement here...Joe

Joe,
Looking good. I have confidence that you will get it done.
Take a photo of snow next to the garage and hang it on the wall. Be sure to take it quick after the snowfall as it doesn't last very long in Tucson. Yes, I have seen snow in Tucson. You get it more often than we do here in Texas.
