Yesterday, we delivered my 1927 coupe to the paint shop. I will send photos as the prep and painting proceeds.

I enjoy the posting of restorations and how folks overcome the many challenges they face just like you when moving the body around. The only problem I see is how are you going to fit all those helpers in the Coupe for the "First Ride" when it's all back together? I guess rather than a wrestling/boxing match you could place the names in a hat and draw out a winner. Not as much fun as a wrestling match but a lot less messy! Please keep the rebuild pictures coming.

Looking good well worth the time and effort a legacy that will last for your great grand kids some day! Teach them all to drive it so one of them will get the itch!

Brought the coupe home today!! The paint shop is located only a mile from our garage. Six guys loaded and unloaded it.

Next step is to install the gas tank. I am waiting for the rear axle rebuild.
