Race is on to finish myCoupe

[RonSchofield]

Due to a couple of stars aligning, I am putting in as much time as I can to get myCoupe on the road this year. If I don't get it done this year, it will be a couple of years before I can finish it so this year it is..

A couple of things that were accomplished or finalized this week.

Put in the rear diffuser. I made a lip to attach it.

Finished a spare tire carrier just like in the originals.

Got the emblems back from the manufacture. Since there are two 50th anniversaries for the coupes. Year built and won championship, I thought I had a good time frame. So now it has to be this year that myCoupe is completed.

Sincerely excited for you Ron. If you lived closer I would offer to help...although, understandably, you would probably want to do it all yourself.

Good luck!

Do I recall that you had made a quantity purchase of those emblems and were offering them for sale? If so, I'm in.

Marc,

No. I can use the help. Most everything is done and finishing up the last details and waiting for pieces from the shop and waiting for shipment of needed parts. I have my father doing the body work. He is finishing up the inside of the hood. I have farmed out some of the work to the local machine shops too. I HAVE to get it on the road this year.

If you are ever down this way, drop by.

Joe,

Yes. I had to make a minimum order so I have spares.

Hi Ron, just logged on for the first time in a while. Glad to see the push is on. If you need some extra hands i can probably squeeze in some days here and there and come down. Just say the word.

Go Ron Go. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Hi,

For those who have gotten the emblems from me, I finally got the tape template completed.



It is a PDF and below is the link.

http://www.mycoupe.ca/documents/TapeTemplate.pdf

The manufacture of the emblem could only put two strips of 1/2 tape on the backside of the emblem. I told them to leave them off (they didn't give me a discount). This template will allow for cutting out a full sized piece of two sided tape.

Thanks

Ron

P.S. I still have some emblems left.

UPDATE: I was made aware of a product from 3M that is a adhesive that self templates. I am not sure how this will work as the product is designed for reapplying an old emblem with foam already on. I will purchase and try it out.

UPDATE ON UPDATE: I purchased a packet. They can be bought as singles. It worked really well and the only thing I had to do was use a round toothpick to clear up some adhesive that was left over in the tight areas of the emblem.
