Featured Hot Rods New caretaker for the "Candy and Chrome 40 coupe

I was able to get the car on the lift and front and rear springs have reversed eyes and appear to have been de arched, and longer shackles have been used on the rear and of course a heavily dropped axle at the front. The car rides fairly well but the turning radius is restricted due to front tire rub. Yes every thing that can be chromed was, transmission case, bell housing, complete exhaust system even the brake lines. Someone asked about the firewall, all the spot welds were drilled out and the firewall was reinstalled with what looks to be chromed rivets. Meanwhile the barrel of chrome polish is on order. I am still discovering things about this car as I bought it without driving it or asking very many questions. Things such as it was converted to 12 volts but made positive ground, the engine only has about 500 miles on it since a complete rebuild and all receipts provided show quality parts and machining and ***embly by a reputable builder. The previous owner also provided receipts for every replacement part installed in the 9 years he owned it. I also have each year of California registration do***entation going back to 1972.

 

Soooo Very Cool, Gary.

 

Wow. I wonder, do you grab a mini polisher like this

or just go ahead and try to find an older used dental setup like this!

I'm not sure which is cooler; the top or the bottom.

 

Wow. That thing is awesome.

Wow, Super car, almost too much chrome. Some is good, more is better, too much is just enough.
