I purchased it from Crestliner I need something with a little more interior space than my channeled Model A truck. I plan on a 32 frame, Highboy,4 inch chop and a 331 Hemi.
Hello Jason, I saw your truck at the back to the lake show in Kenner this past summer and really liked it. Sounded good also. I also have a model A coupe (31) that I brought back from California earlier this year. I am not sure what I am going to do with it. Some folks say not to cut it up since it has not been molested.... yet. Do you have a hemi for your build yet? I have a 354 and a 331marine, that I have gathered for another project. I have seen many A's on 32 rails but wonder how the subrail and other under body mods are handled to achieve a proper fit that looks pleasing to the eye. May be we can B.S. sometime about these things. Anyway good day to you. MickeyC. from Metairie.
Great start, cant wait to see your progress. Mine is on hold until after the new year. Always fun to watch others progress. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=409232
Cool! Like the plans for sure but you should just lower the axle a bit and drive that ****er like that for a year while you work on the '32 ch***is. My Father's coupe will be much like your brother coupe Chris. His driveway is so steep that I could not lower it any even if we wanted to. Instead he is getting a high, high boy!
This is only my second build I was going to build a frame out of 2x4 tubing like I did for my truck but I'm going to leave this one on top and the 32 rails look alot better than plain square tubing.I have a Hemi a friend gave me and I'm trying to find out what size it is but I'm getting 3 different answers. The inner fender panels and rear subrails are in bad shape so I'm going to cut it all out and make new subrails to fit the 32 rails Are you planing on channeling your coupe? I live in Belle Ch***e so Im not to far from you I'm new at this but I learned alot when I built my 30 Pickup
It doesn't have a motor or ****** if it did I'd probably do that. I'm going to try and get it finished by Sept. 2010 for Crusing The Coast in Biloxi
It's just a personal choice, some people keep the Original style frame , the 32 just has a better look when you build a Highboy.
im lookin for some pics of the wood for the roof... do you happen to have any detailed pictures..? th**x
