    I just picked this 33 3 window from another HAMB'r earlier this week. I still can't believe I got a 32-34 coupe:D. The car was bought in California in 62 and brought here to the East coast and stored until a few weeks ago. It came with a neat old dropped axle(Mor-drop???)
    What I have planned is ,fenderless with full hood and no chop. Motor choice is still up for grabs. I can't decide between my 331 Cadillac, Ford flathead or maybe an early Hemi. There will be a quickchange in the rear. I will post more pics as I make progress.

    Larry says it's ok to run some sculpted door panels to match those 12 way heated Lexus seats you are dying to install. ;)

    Tonight I was doing a little day dreaming. This weekend time to start working on getting rid of the layers of paint.

    Larry, I might have to use those door panels and kick panels until I can afford something else. And yes the seat will stay the same.

    What is everybodys opinion on the rear of the car? Stock tank and spreader bar like this black primered one, or rear frame cut off and roll pan and put tank in trunk ??

    Leave it like the black one unless you want to go with a traditional East Coast style and lower it, in which case you might have to do a tank delete.
