My Coupe Has Changed...!

What a difference a year makes! Actually, it hasn't been a year since I traded my C-Dan for my Five Window, but the coupe looks much better now... Heres a shot from last June. Right before I bought it..

 

Here are a few from this past Saturday..

 

Another one..

 

A different view..

 

Last one of the motor..

 

much better.

I'd go dual quad and Cal Custom covers, but that's just me

love it!

Paul

 

Nice. I see you've got the optional 7 bolt valve covers LOL

 

I have a set of Ansens that I can change whenever I want. But I like the M/T's for that "drag car" look. Dual quads or a Corvette trip intake are next..

Spike

 

Now you just need some blakwall Firestones to complete the look. Looks good though

I'm not familiar with the Ansen covers, got a picture?

didja see the Eelco covers go on ebay a while ago?

what's the spec.s on the motor?

Paul

 

thank heaven for flat black! Looks really pretty now.

 

Very refreshing!! Looks tons better!!

 

The song says "what a difference a day makes" but in your case it took a little longer. That car has improved at least 100% since you got it. Be careful with what you do from now on, you don't want to ruin all of the PROGRESS. What you have now is definitly a HOT ROD.

Heres a shot of the Ansens.. I ran them until I found the M/T's. Thanks Ryan. They not only look better, but they weigh a whole lot less. Probably dropped 15-20 lbs. per side. But theyre LOUD.

 

Next step is to paint the fire wall the same cream color as the wheels. After that, I'm going to paint the body using John Deere tractor paint. Then, its getting striped and I'll leave it alone. How it looks now is how I saw it (In my head at least..) last June. Never thought I would find those head lights though..that was a bonus..

Spike

 

Good looking car. It's amazing how changing a few key parts can give the car a whole new attitude.

I kinda like those Ansen valve covers

 

Hotrodphotos....looks a little underpowered to me

 

your Ansens look like the Weiand, Copo, Yenko and other covers, are they the same casting?

Paul

 

Absolutely under powered! It barely gets out of its own way.. What schmuck thought that putting a Big Block in such a heavy car would make it go at all? Maybe I should put something else in there...?

Spike

 

Hey, picture taker man!!

Damn nice job man!
Totally different from when we looked at it....

Can't wait to see it in person..at the 'Mud Run'

Tonester......

Nice car. But man, do we need another flat black rod with painted wheels? How about adding a little color to that John Deere tractor paint. Make it a little different than all the other flat black rods. Just my opinion....but you asked.

 

Great transformation, the car looks cool now!

Looks good for now

 

Great job. It's nice to see a car rescued. It's a hot rod now with the right look. Cool.

 

Hey..
Our "cars" related ???
Yous done your coupe proud !

just my opinion, but i'd leave the ansens on permanently.

 

Really looks great. Much better. You must be really enjoying it now.

Congraulations!

So you are going with green even after all the bad luck stories that got posted on here several months ago about green (nonsense voodoo stuff)? Anyhow...love the progress man.
