Doesn't look too bad. I still have not removed the 50 year old fiberglass/bondo repair on my 37 coupe to see what remains of the original panel. I can see a bunch of sheet metal screws on the inside from someone else's "repair" attempt. What shape is the tool compartment floor in? Mine won't hold water for sure.

In Wisconsin for body and frame work. I will bring it to Florida next October for interior and wiring. Hope to have it on the road by next Christmas. Engine and trans are ready.

Just love those 39 & 40 coupes. That one looks better than a lot I've seen. It will take plenty of work but its worth every bit.

The frame showed signs of damage with decent repair and tube shocks but sat a little low on one side. knowing I was going with a t5 I decided to go with a aftermarket chassis. The plan is stock look,stock trim and wheels..
Before I get bumped off the Barn I want to give a shot out to Ol'Ron for introducing me to a Merc intake with Rochester 2g. I have used this setup on two other builds. Makes for a great setup for a mild flathead. |

That is a good looking chassis. It should ride and handle great!

'38 Standard is one of my favorites, too. Especially the coupes.
