Lucky's Chrisman Coupe build

I took quite a few pic's at the open house. Looks great to me Lucky! Hope to see it run someday...

 

Very cool please keep the updates coming.

 

What are you gonna use for the drivetrain?

 

Hey Lucky,
Ya know I met Art Christman at the last Long Beach Swap Meet on Sunday after Mooneyes on saturday. He is the most low key, incognito, coolest guy I ever met.
Just selling some cool old parts. Not promoting anything. Not signing autographs. No name tag nuthin'. Just one of the guys. And if somebody doesn't tell you your never gonna know. Very cool guy. We talked for a bit, very cool stories.

 

Ha, Bob that was before I chopped again.

Thanks for all the compliments guys.....Lucky

 

I forgot, Art is gonna drive at Bonneville again. Him and his son are building a Chevy Cobalt that Art will drive.

 

Lucky, good to see you are not clausterphobic. that can not be comfortable. will it be a race only ride

 

That's so great to hear. I can't wait to meet him. I hope I'm doing ok by him. It's amazing how much they did to this car. I hear the same thing about him. I hear he's just a great guy.

Yes Boones, this is only a land speed car.

Flathead powered

 

If you are going to "copy" something, that's a damn nice thing to copy. Good luck with it and look forward to seeing more progress and it finished. Would be pretty hard to have too many of those.

 

that windshield in your face has got to take some getting used to! That's soooo cool. Makes me wonder whatever happened to the HotRodCh***is salt car with the MEL engine that Chad and Kevin were working on

 

its cool if you into that sorta thing..

I get to see it all the time....LUCKY is my hero.

 

kick ***

 

I like race cars... looking good my man. is the T getting painted? where did it go?

 

I think I just got a woodie... WOW...

 

That is bad ***!! Hope to one day have the chance to snap it at a lake

 

Very cool! What frame are you going to set up?

 

I was going to start collecting parts to build the So-Cal plating car, until I heard Bobby was having at it. Lets see that! Hahaaaa.

 

One of the most impressive builds I've seen all year. Can't wait to see more...

 

A great start to I'm sure what will end up an awesome car. Looking forward to seeing it run on the lakes!

PS- Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

 

WOW! Can't wait to see more progress, great work!

 

I was reading ryans blog on the chrisman coupe the other day, and was thinking how cool a clone would be, but with a front engine... and here it is!
looks great so far.
what is the windshield surround out of?

 

You should hinge the top and bottom so it can bite people. Cool project.

 

I love this stuff.

 

Very exciting, thanks for sharing bud. See it, and you, and on the Salt!

 

It looks so sick Lucky!! I gotta tell you guys ,the car looks even better in person! You rule homie!!!

Please keep it on the salt and on the tracks. Racecars are for race facilities and street cars are for the streets and highways.

 

looking killer.

 

That is going to be killer! That car just looks cool. I like the open hood sides, but not the best for aerodynamics. I don't know if anybody has this thought, but that car looks like an "old Crow." Shiny black paint, white stripe down the middle of the hood. I don't know maybe a bit to "OCC theme bike", but I'd still like to see a photoshop. Please keep us up to date with pictures.

 

Looks great...thanks for the update. Its very hard for most folks to understand how much work is involved!

 

Damn that thing looks good. Got goosebumps just looking at those pics.
