We're thrilled to share the latest update on our 1932 Roadster's restoration project! 🚗 The upholstery installation is progressing, and we're excited to report that the carpet is now completed, and looking fabulous! 🎉 Not only that, but we've also finished and installed the 4 side panels. Next up, The Camera Lady will tackle the seat, carefully shaping foam to design a comfortable and stylish finished product.

This week at Coldstream Rod Shop it's all about finishing Elle's 1932 Ford 5 Window Coupe project. Installing the seat, cowl vent cover, modifying the windshield mechanism and this phase of the project is completed. The 1935 shortened box chassis arrives and Derek sets the box on, installs the battery box and wood and waits for the owner to pick that up. (Hopefully next week). The Camera Lady's 1932 roadster, interior sound deadening is installed and Derek trouble shoots the tack.

This week at Coldstream Rod Shop Derek picks up and installs the headers for The Camera Lady's Roadster. It's officially running. Time to do some trouble shooting on a couple of issues with the lights and tack. More work on Elle's 32 Coupe is completed with Derek fabricating the transmission tunnel cover, reinforcing the dash and installing it, and the windshield frame is chopped and fitted. One more ask on Elle's coupe was to fit a bench seat, so with new sliders ordered, hopefully that will be next week.
