Some pics off the 5W Drag Racer.

thanks Alex, Great to see it up here after all this time and work.

 

You are the man, no doubt.

 

Executed beautifully.

 

Another one saved and put on the road. If your not carefull you will get the rep of bring stuff back from the dead like a voodoo which doctor.

 

I did not realize that was the car you had been working on. You did a great job. A+++++++ Looks a whole lot safer but still untouched in the same sentence.

I love that car....The Gotha Valve covers RULE

 

What a *****in little Hot Rod, nice job!

 

Thanks guys.

I was able to do this car this way because of Miles.

We talked a lot about the different details, and he allowed me to do a lot of things the old way.
Eventhough that took a lot more time...

And he kept finding cool Parts at Swap Meets...

 

Alex,

Outstanding work and detail, you are a real CRAFTSMAN.

CR

 

I am absolutely FLOORED by that floor. Very, very cool.

 

Awesome Alex.....super craftsmanship. It's more than an old drag car now....its a safe old drag car.

 

Great work. Great recap. Another item you did that I think turned out perfect but you missed highlighting in your text is the firewall work. There was a post on it if I remember right and it can be seen in the middle pic in the last set.
The hole thing turned out killer.
Thanks again Alex.

 

This is really cool thanks for sharing this build with us....hope mine turns out 1/2 as cool...really cool how the coupe maintains its o.g. appearence...nice work man...

 

Miles, Alex, that car is unbelievably cool. The color, stance, etc., etc.. Unreal.
Alex, the ****tershield and engine mount is great as is the tin work. Your work is always impressive!

Great job fellers, can't wait to see this'un in person.

 

gVery nice work Alex,, I saw the car a year or so before Miles got it and man it really need some help to be usable. A cool old time capsule but nothing I would ever want to take down the track.

And yes, the vintabe Gotha speed parts do RULE!

Miles has made some very good choices in people to work in his cars.

 

I love the way you made it better and didn't change the look. *****en.--TV

 

I remember when this car resurfaced and I held my breath thinking it would end up a typical STREET ROD. My fears can now be put to rest, you've done a super job bringing it back to function without destroying it's character. Huge ATTABOY for you Alex.

Damn nice job/work! You saved it, and made it way better. Some of the guys should take note. If you find a survivor, build it "up" instead of down into a bigger piece of **** than when you found it. GREAT job.

 

Thanks for all the nice words, guys.

 

Man, that's ALOT of work you've done there, alot of real Nice work!
That's a car I'd like to own!

 

way cool man, sweet!!

 

How does it hook up ??????

 

STOP ALL WORK RIGHT NOW!!!! I will come finish. I just need those rocker covers. If you decide you want to run Weiand, Edelbrock, Fenton, Edmunds instead give me a PM. Man those are cool. Nice metal work! I've always wondered how many guys say that? Eventhough they farm it out. Keep up the killer work. If you need some parts for that side shift let me know. I just picked up a crate of gears. Good luck on the rest. Tim

 

This thread is a year and a half old!

 

Time flies...

Here is an old pic of when it was still here, with two other Coupes...

 

Man I've looked for **** way longer than a year and a half. One time I was looking for a dic-( never mind I will get kicked of again...) Great gut to tell me this thread is a year old/. Tim

 

Maybe so, but I missed it the first time around. Excellent work! wow...

 

Alex............you have all the fun over there.

 

Yeah... I do.

 

Have you ever drag raced any of the old coupes ?????

What would YOU recommend for a rear suspension under my old "A" Coupe for Street/Strip ???
