Peckerhead 28's EL MOCO COUPE

I got the oppurtunity to visit my buddy Weaver (aka peckerhead28)and I got the chance to check out his almost complete El Moco Coupe. Here's some pics I am gonna post them for him...this by far is one of (if not) my favorite hot rods. Knowing what this thing started as to what it is now is amazing. It truly is a work of art and Mike should be extremely proud of the work he's done on this thing...I think there is a million hours in it...

 

that thing is pretty awesome, but i gotta ask did he fill the wasp nest with a thousand led's for a dome light,,, probably not but whats up with it?

 

great work the headliner hangs down a little though

 

no LED's---it was just something he stuck up in there for a picture...actually when we pulled this car out of the woods, there was one of them in the gas tank....

 

body looks super solid for being in the woods... oh yeah your not in pennsylvania...

 

when my dad drug it out of the woods, that car was rough...It sat in my backyard for a while then we decided we couldnt do it, so we called mike to see if he wanted it...he'll tell you 'when the wind blew through the car, it made noise' it was thin thin metal, the entire roof of the car was pretty much hand fabricated by mike....

 

awesome woods finds around kansas are slim pickens...

 

That is a cool trunk lock bezel.
What is that?

 

Neat car/story.

 

great effort and the looks tell the story!! if you dont mind me asking..what are the trunk lid hinges off of? I was thinking of doing that to my coupe.

 

cool hot rod!

 

Not bad at all! Cool looking coupe. Leave the nest. Makes for a great conversation piece! Thanks for posting pics. BOBBY FORD

Nice little touches! Do you know if its going to get painted? If so, what color? It looks pretty clean as is though.

Me like!

 

Just pinstripping , I already have painted car ( my avatar ) that I don't like cleaning !

 

Dude totally digging the Orange wheels, The nest and the beehive shifter and column are just NUTS, it's gonna be funny when one of those lil critters takes back it's residence!

 

Just on there for now , my brother gave it to me ! He thinks it's cool , didn't have the heart to tell him it was vacume material !

 

Very nice .I cant wait to see it on the road . Nice to see someone that loves old cars, all types. A gear head at heart I am glad I got to know ya.If you need anything and your in my neck of the woods just call.I will have to show off my 5 window soon .

Mike...looks great! Now that you are this close to being finished you can come work on my wife's 55 Buick. It will be big enough for all of us to ride in, and prob. carry your coupe in the trunk so we will have a cool hot rod to ride in when we get where we are going....

 

hell muthaphawckn YEAH!!

 

Great job Mike

What are those things on the end of your exhaust? Are they some kind of baffles? Love the look of your Coupe. I want to start building one next summer. Probably a 31.
