I might just put 3 welds at spots around the pipe. I really don't want to use clamps.

If I need to take it apart sometime I can just cut the weld with a cut off wheel.


Now you have me thinking of putting a 2 bolt flange on them.

I wasn't trying to talk you out of it, I just thought once it's welded, well, it's welded! If you just tack it, that would work fine and definitely look better than clamps.
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

I have been working on the coupe again. The carpet is done. The interior is done, trunk has been carpeted and upholstered it has a courtesy light from a 50 chevy license plate light and a switch from a 57 olds.

The wheels have been powder coated and waiting for the tires to come in the mail.

Wiring is mostly done.

Got the grill shell back from the chrome shop and am waiting for the stone guard to get powder coated so I can put the radiatior in.

I'm down to about 1 page of things to do!

I got some seat belts too. They had blue webbing but I changed it to black.

They were surplus.

It's really coming along!  Love the chrome on the grill.  Won't be long now ;D
Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!

Logride I need to know if those fenders are the same on a Coupe as on a Roadster and i sure would appreciate a good pictrure of the rear of that fender as well as a total measurment from the running board to the end of the fender. I have a good friend in Manitoba that has a pile of fenders and he says he has got no time to go out and search and i am going to be out there in the end of June.If there is anyone that knows if the coupe and roadster fenders are the same please pm me  lave@cogeco.ca I need a pair of rear fenders for a 32 chevy roadster  thanks  vette59jdwl

Not sure if they are the same but I would guess they are.

32's have the teardrop on the end.

Doesn't the 1933 sedan delivery also use the 1932 grill shell?
