Never miss an episode of Mart's Garage, and would love to have another project to follow.

Re: possible interest in another new restoration project? '40 convertible
Okay, sounds like we have a plan.
I didn't want to wear out my welcome here, hence the query.

Re: possible interest in another new restoration project? '40 convertible
Not yet, so far he's between Cloudmist Gray and Folkstone Gray. As you could see from the photo I'd posted, we're a ways off from color choice.
This is going to be a very fun project for me in that it will be my first non-original go. For the most part, it'll be '40 Ford with some 1950's touches. The ultimate goal is very tasteful and not something you have all seen a hundred times before.

Re: possible interest in another new restoration project? '40 convertible
Man, THIS is beginning to sound juicy, even for a "Kube" presentation. Can ya give us a 'heads-up' with regard to some of these '50s "touches"? Early Caddy, maybe? I've already got loads of popcorn on hand in anticipation of this one. Thanks for sharing what you do so well with the 'peanut gallery'! DD

Re: possible interest in another new restoration project? '40 convertible
I'm anxious too! Who doesn't love a convertible, and a 40? No mystery to many of you that the non original part won't ruffle my feathers. Mustang 2 front? Just kidding Kube. Can't wait to watch this one.

Re: possible interest in another new restoration project? '40 convertible
You guys are hilarious. Thanks for putting a well needed smile on this ugly mug of mine.
Still attempting to nail down the exact specs. So far, it's sounding to be a very tasteful build. NO modern poopy and NO billet. Just subtle little things that a guy will have t look twice, three times to notice. Remember I'm just the cook on this project. My boss provides the recipe.

Re: possible interest in another new restoration project? '40 convertible
Absolutely. I'm interested in everything as well. In particular I'm interested in how you brace the body when you remove it from the frame. A great tutorial.

Here's a photo of the last convertible I'd restored showing the bracing.

Re: possible interest in another new restoration project? '40 convertible
Great Picture's. Just curious, did you weld the frame to the actual body of the car? An inquiring mind wants to know. You certainly couldn't have had any movement with that structure.
