The Sinastar coupe is making its way home to Dean after a big 4 year build
Lots of handmade parts and a roof chop on a 51 business coupe is not easy to get right but the flow of this car is just right
I think we captured the feel of a traditional Kustom

Rusties loaded up the hand built 29 A model coupe known as the Dragstar coupe for the Sydney hot rod show.
What an exceptional indoor show with some very high calibre of cars on display.
It was excellent to show the coupe to the public with some great feed back on the build with a lot of people not realising the whole body is handmade.
It was great to catch up with some old friends and can’t wait to do it again

A phone holder and charge port along with a cup holder was hand formed to slide out of the glove box.
This way you still have somewhere for the essential items but close the glove box and keep the lines clean
Phone holder was all hand beaten in to shape,took quite allot of stretching.

The whole main floor has been fitted to the outer shell.
The rear parcel shelf has been installed with corner pieces.
All the inner return panels are finally fitted these panels make the body incredibly stiff which will help with that blown injected hemi up front.
Removable panels were formed utilising the diamond pattern and brass bolts these will give access to the window mechanisms etc.
A full formed sheet metal seat is now well under way for the coupe.

Things are really progressing on the Dragstar coupe.

Rusties had a chance to get the Dragstar coupe outside today for some quick pics.
The panel between the boot lid and roof was made this is a tricky panel with so many shapes going on and yes the 3 swages lines continue in this panel and will flow into the boot lid.
The left 1/4 has the wheel arch fitted now, with the rest of the 1/4 now made its nearly ready for welding and then planinshing.
Getting closer ever week

Rusties is well underway with assembling the brand new all hand fabricated A model body for the Dragstar coupe.
A roof skin is being formed for the coupe and will run 3 swage lines down the middle of the roof.
The rear roof section and side windows are now being planished up and provision for the wipers and garnish moulds etc are all completed.
It’s been allot of work so it’s nice to see the results starting to show
