1940 Black Business Coupe 340

I bought this on a whim thinking I would be driving it within a year. I didn't realize how much work I was getting into. It was a good way to use up spare time though. Working on it was better than watching TV or mowing the grass. Four years later it's done and I can go to car shows instead of watching TV.

Posing by the barn

Just a rear photo

Next item will be the grille chrome painted to match the bumpers

I picked stuff from the Speedway catalog and then bought boards and vinyl for the interior

My son bought a house and this was in the garage. The owner didn't want to take it with him, so I bought it.

After a month in chemical stripper it came back with more rust holes :-)

it needed a total floor replacement. Panels weren't available so I made these

I made the trunk floor and re-routed the gas filler neck. that's the reason for the hump on the left

Back seats are from a Ford Ranger
