Very nice work! Do these types of welds typically get ground flush?

Part of the finish/clean up work but not necessary given it will never be seen. The front corner cab holes that were repaired have been ground down already. Never know that metal has been replaced. I'm very impressed with his work also.

Nice work. That engine looks beautiful.

I had the chance a few years ago to buy a '41 Clipper that had been donated to a charity that also runs a used car lot (Union Gospel Mission Motors, Spokane). Running car, nice interior and original paint, good chrome. Had a 6v electric fuel pump added, brakes were not working, Optima battery was dead, water pump was leaking. Floors were pretty well rotted out though. Originally listed for 10.5K; gradually over about a year dropped to $6500 where it sold, either for that or perhaps less. That body style was not one I was all that interested in, and a couple months later bought my '37 115C. That Clipper though, would have been a nice project.

In the process of installing new lines. Only need to finish the rear brake lines over the axle. Other 4 brake lines done. Fuel line was once piece that was 17+ feet long. All lines are stainless steel. Need to install brake hoses next, then put to sleep for the winter.
