Introducing my Fuel Coupe-styled Tudor

From the design to the execution, this is stunning. Well done!

 

Congratulations ! You hit it out of the park

 

It is outstanding. See you next month!

 

It turned out great, enjoy the rest of the summer in it !

 

Great work! It looks outstanding

 

Thanks loads, fellas. Appreciate the kudos from other hot rodders.

Steve, looking forward to seeing you and all the other hoodlums!

 

This is a proper California Rake…FANTASTIC!

 

This!!!

 

^^^^^Love this image^^^^

 

It's about as "cartoon" as a car can get while still being BA. Meant as a huge compliment.

 

Love This, Too!

 

Just saw pics of your car on Reddit, someone liked what they saw at a cars and coffee.

 

Just seeing the finished car. Wow!! That car is bad ***! I’m not sure what else to say, except enjoy it!

 

Best Hot Rod in years !

 

Thanks, fellas.
After driving the Tudor last year, I corrected some bugs during the winter:

1) Reduced caster from 8* to 6*.

It still tracks thumb-&-1-finger-on-the-wheel straight at 90, but slow-speed turns are waaaay easier.


2) Raised the back ~1/2" so the tires no longer rub the quarters....


.....which required similarly raising the front to retain what limited forward visibility I had.


3) Fixed a leaky rearend pinion.

Achieving ~20 in-lbs bearing preload took a 4 ft "cheater pipe" to tighten the pinion nut.


4) My beloved bride got me a fire extinguisher for Christmas.


5) Finally, I red loc***ed a bunch of ch***is & engine fasteners.


Now it's time to drive some more.

 

When you build a whole entire car out of basically nothing, you might have to fine tune a few things.

Love that little car, you did a hell of a job.

-Abone.

 

Looks great. Now do us all a favor and go boil those hides at your local drag strip. Please.

 

Gary,
That "fine tuning" is just part of the fun! Great looking ride.
