    Congrats, that is a nice coupe. A rare one these days that does not have one thing that I can see that doesn't fit right in and contribute to the build theme and plan.

    That is indeed a great looking coupe!
    Congratulations from Dennis.

    I don't know anything about anything, so this is just something to read.... but first thing I do with cars like this is go over the ground system... lots of gremlins to be found as most out there paint and powder coat the frames and motors then assemble the car... never have a good ground from frame to motor and never clean the paint and powder coat out of the welded bungs... next, not about the car,,,, but some thing I see in the pic.... please get a cover on that power box... I lost a very good friend who was fixing the concrete floor in a buddys garage and stuff'd the fresno pole in the power box.. he's gone.....

    bitchen car....

    Love the look, sits just right.
    If it was mine I would remove the late model Ford emblem on the dash.
    Hope you have years of fun with your new toy!

    Wow! Good one! :)
    Very happy for you.
    I'd choose that nice black hot rod over the Tempest.
    Be sure to post it on Larry's thread.

    Emblem is covering a hole from what looks like there was once a radio. Going to fix that.
