just picked up a 31 coupe

just picked up a 31 coupe today , here are some pics of it










and already rebuilding the carb

 

with a little bit of elbow grease and adjusting and a little tweaking it will be a pretty neat coupe

 

Hey nice car BUT you Hats no on center or is that your head lol

 

thats a cool ride enjoy it ,

 

Unless you are like 6' 11" , that thing is pretty low....I like the exhaust smoke on the door.

 

congratulations....enjoy it!!

 

Toss that carb and get 3 dueces. Nice ride though.

 

got her fired up and took it around the block,,,, i need to do a lot of work to it but she is loud and fast lol

 

Also change the latches to a bear claw style if you honestly thinking about running suicide doors just my opinion though Model A latches just dont seem sufficent for suicide doors. Nice coupe little paint wouldnt hurt it.

 

nice ride, glad to see another young guy like myself trying into old tin

 

Ummm. hate to tell you, but your hat is on sideways. how embarrasing

 

I love it!!, that thing is so kool. reminds me of the one you built in high school as your senior project...almost the same car. after all the dezert trucks you have built this will be a lot of fun to terrorize the hood in!

 

thanks dad now you have to come out to visit and take a cruse with me

 

hell ya man........

 

hope the frame isn't welded like the body.

 

nice score

 

yeah,,cool little car,,but the hat is just sooo wrong! HRP

 

Nice start on a hot rod. Can you tell me where you get the hats with the bill off to one side? All I can find is the ones with the bill in the middle...

 

Nice car . Are you Bo Yo ? check this out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-ap5Fp2T6c&feature=user

 

I'm guessin this Bo Yo kid is a virgin....

 

Is that car from Yuma? I've seen one alot like it here.

 

Is this the "Tom Gunn's Guide to Fashion" Forum or a Hot Rod Forum? Why's everyone so fixated on the young man's hat?

 

cool coupe, what are your plans for it?

That is a great start especially what the guy had it posted for on craigslist... Looking at the welds on that door I would be sure to check out the frame so you are safe. I am not one for pie cut frames but its your ride and welcome to the fun!Get it running good and legal cause the SINNERS are throwing a few bands for a local show on OCT 18th..its off 7th ave and Grand 1110 grand ave... Come check it out and hope to see some Hambers there...

i will check that out and the car runs great i drove it around the naberhood yesterday and it stayed right at 170%, and its already titaled so all i will have to do is transfer it over. and ya it was a smoking deal i thinck the guy said he had over 100 calls the first day but 50 of them were frome me so i got first shot,



and thanks for all the complements on the dress code LOL

 

I thought 3:10 to Yuma was a western movie, 3' 10" from Yuma is apparently a hotrod.

Looks like you have a good start, and I'm sure he just caught his hat on the roof while getting out.

Flatman

 

I was thinking the same thing. COOL COUPE! That looks like Pepe's old car, is it?

 

Great start of a "REAL" car . For a young guy he can wear his hat anyway he wants because not to many young people that are into old cars . Kid your going down the right road . I wish my A was as far as that , the only thing I did was just take it apart . Have fun with it . Oh sorry about the Bo Yo thing, my stupid non mechanical 15 year old listens to stuff like that . He's nothin like his older brother that has a 68 big block chevelle .

 

Looks like his head is a little crooked. LOL

Very nice ride hope you finish it.

 

That's funny... I looked at it in the parking lot of a car show when it was for sale before. It didn't have a price and the car was a little too scary for me, so I never tried to find out more info. Cool score...
