    I like that coupe!
     
  16. Always nice to drag one out for a good look.
    Although it will look good choped I might just leave it and got for a 30/40s rod that has been updated lok. Just to be different.

    A lot of the fellas might not remember but as I recall in the leter '50s and earlier '60s there were a lot of old rods around that someone captured cheap and updated the drive train and rolling stock then dorve 'em like they stole 'em.

    BTW those are pretty slick header flanges you don't have an extra set laying around do ya?

    Anyway I like it well enough.
     
  17. Lookin Good! Look forward to seeing it driving around town.
