    Couldn't agree more; amazing talent!
    Thx for bringing this back up, guys; I had forgotten about it.

    Best, and most complicated chop, I've seen on a 36 3w coupe!
    RIP, Bear...
     
  2. Thinking of Bear (aka SurfCity) , taken form this world , 4 years today.
    Hope he’s smiling down , seeing the progress on the 36DD
    I got these pics , where it was on display , at the recent Surf City biannual Rod Run.
    Keep up the great progress Sue , Charley. Thinking of you all .

    That is awesome. I had often wondered what was happening with the coupe.

    So glad this car has been taken on & progressed. It was one of the threads I looked forward too.
    RIP Bear.
    @Shrapnel thanks for keeping us in the loop!

    20180401_160720.jpg He did a lot of work to that ch***is to get the stance he wanted only to find out the bottom of that grill is the limiting factor without some surgery in that area!

  14. My understanding is , at this stage , it will still be capable of doing both .

  15. Rear spring rates /air bags , on the rear are in the ball-park To cover both duties.
    Overall , car sits 3/4 inch (top leaf to crossmember packers) higher than intended , with the option to bring back down once Sue is more familiar with the driving car .
    Bottom of Grille is stock (currently) and are looking to add a chin guard to protect its lowest face etc.

    I was sick when I heard of his untimely p***ing BUT thankful his wife and daughter want to finish it. Hope they are both healing as well as could be expected from this preventable tragedy.
