1928 REO Speedwagon Cloud Coupe Car Project

Saw this old photo from my shop back in the early 90's, Thought some of the younger viewers and others might want to see it. I had a friend that wanted all the wood in his project replaced. It was a 1928 REO Speedwagon Cloud Coupe, The sheet metal was all nailed to the wood body with 5/8" long cut square nails,( they were about 3/8" -1/2" apart a hell of a lot of nails). The bottom rails of the body were milled from 2 1/4" x 10" Poplar boards ,the only part that i did not have to replace the wood in were both doors they were still solid.It was one of the more interesting cars i had done and had some very unique things on it.Below the rear window was a small steel tube soldered to a metal box ,the tube ran thru the floor and out the bottom of the vehicle.The owner said he had no idea what it was , after a little thinking we figured out it was a rain gutter and a downspout for the back window to drain water that leaked in around the glass. It also had a small door on the pass side behind the door, it was about 10" square with a shelf behind it, golf club storage.Attachment 7634
