THE 51 VICTORIA DASH

I put a 46-48 ford dash in my 51 ford victoria...

MITCH'S REMOVABLE TOP

So Mitch brought his car into the shop a while ago..... Interesting car, someone had cut the entire roof out ...

He was looking to get a removable top made along with fixing a few things and some of Brandon's paint work....

So I fixed some things, installed some new hood hinges to make the hood fit nice, and created this removable top for him... Turned out real nice. 

LOCAL SHOW

A couple years ago we took my 51 Victoria, Brandon's 62 T Bird, and Eddie's 49 F-1 truck to a local show ...

All three painted by Brandon at Altissimo here in Napa...

MARCUS 34 5W AT HOME

Here are a few more interior shots...

Super stoked you have your coupe home.... Looks great!

MARCUS 34 5W UPHOLSTERY

Marcus sent me some shots of the coupe at the upholstery shop... lookin good Marcus

Can't wait to see it in Pomona...

MARCUS 34 5W FINISHED

When Marcus brought his chopped 34 coupe into Altissimo paint shop here in Napa for a paint job, I was asked to wrap up some unfinished metal work on his decklid.... So I said sure.  What started out as a small metal job turned into a large assembly job.

After it was painted I brought it to my shop and started workin...

I delivered the car to the upholstery shop this week.

Thanks Marcus

SUPRISE

Took the tape off covering the dist hole and suprise.... whoever welded the side for the bolt lock didn't clean up the inside.  New dist wont fit.  Off comes the cover to clean it up and make it right.  

Go Cat Speed shop advised Marcus to shove a rag down the hole to catch the shavings....  wow! Great advise from the "engine builder"...  Yeah I'd trust that technique with my new flattie.  Wonder if he used that technique when he ground on it?

WEEKEND FUN

My buddy Darren rolled into town this weekend....
We grabbed another friend Josh and rolled for a little scoot...
Brought it back home to BBQ and roast marshmallows...
Too many beers required an overnight stay...
hung out the next day then gave him an escort out of town...

MARCUS 34 5W UPDATE #9

Took the coupe down to my friend Steve @ Napa Valley Mufflers. Steve has done all of my cars and trucks... Great work.

After I got it back in the shop I started checking things off the list...

Got the grille all dressed... The shifter mounted... wiper blade mounted... Front windshield garnish chopped down... the header piece installed and the rear view mirror.

I must tell you that the list is very small.... the coupe will be leaving next week.
