Finally got my coupe going

So i got this old coupe off Invisable kid here on the hamb. That was about a year ago, well i tore it down last fall/winter. Then started on the chassis in February, now it drives around my test track. I still need a few things before i drive it on the street. Lots of decisions to make. Well enough talk heres some pics.

 

heres a few more. the seat came from begels, (metaltwister). The frame is from blackboard customs, the headers are geardrive, the radiator is brassworks. found the super t-10 off c-list rebuilt with new clutch flywheel PP and shifter. I had the rearend from a used up racecar i got for free, san diego gear and axle set it up for me. Engine is from a jeep i had as a teenager and bought back so i could put the motor in this.

 

heres what i started with.

 

looking good !

 

Bad Ass! Love how it's going.

 

Thanks guys. Heres a good side shoot. I think i like the look of off white wheels.

 

Looking good!

 

Nice job, what color is she going to be?

 

I cant decide. Maybe silver, or maroon, or maybe ill just go with black. I need to at least decide on a upholstery design and color that'll match whatever i decide. I figured id drive it for the summer then paint it. But i gotta sit in it to drive it.

 

Nice work

 

Sweet...

 

Nice project.. Improvements looking good..

 

looking good

 

That metallicky greenish hue with the yellow wheels get's my vote!
It looks bitchen now.....can't wait to see whats in store....

 

cool hot rod

 

I like it alot. The dash and 40 wheel look great...just need to add some more carbs...

Yes im looking for a 3x2 set up. But i wanna drive this thing so seat upholstery and tires first.

Did i mention that the small block is phase 1. Phase 2 is the 392 hemi thats in the shed. The SBC is a 300 horse 327 from 1967. Its probably a corvette like the rest of them even though the numbers say it could have been in some other cars.

 

Thanks again for this car. I thought about doing the green again. Whats weird is the grill shell and headlights i found separately where both almost the same color as the body.

 

Awesome!

 

It's kewwwwwwwwwwwwl. Nice work!

 

Just so everyone knows the beginnings......here's how it was unearthed.....
I think justice has been served...It's only gonna get better!

 

Man i got a lot of hours in that firewall. I felt a little bad grinding that green paint off. It was over what looked like the original paint. Except the driver door which had like 7 different colors.

 

well i finally picked a color and after 3 months in the body shop, it finally got painted. Should have it back next week after the wet sanding and buffing. I think picking out a color is the hardest decision i have ever made, and im still not entirely sold on it.

 

I think your color choice is great !! Black cars look great but there is alot of them. Same with silver.. You chose good. That will be a hell of a nice car

 

Now that its maroon, White wheels, seat, top insert would look kickass. One two or all.

 

Looking great!

 

Kid, you got yourself a nice hot rod there, Looking great!

 

Moving along....sweet...

 

Paint looks good!!

 

One more demonstration of why a 30 - 31 A beats a 32 any day !!
