Hey, I just found this forum and wanted to contribute to the love of the great cl***ic cars. I really like the curvy looks of these great cars. I'd love to see more great cars that are still under construction........(completed cars are welcome too).
He just bought the car and is just having it shipped today. Should be here by christmas. Its also under construction. Has a 63' 327, 2 speed powerglide, all steel with no rust, and looks like it will be a solid car when finished. I'll post pics when I get em.
Here are a few of the coupe. I need to get more so you can see how nice this car will be. I'm heading over to my dads today so I'll snap a few more.
Glad to see another 40 guy to save these old things. I have a coupe (owned for 44 years), a 40 pickup and another 40 pickup in the makings. Installed a 40 car dash in the new one. I will use a Mustang II front suspension.
Very cool cars.... My father has had a few problems with the o'coupe. Electric fuel pumped out too much pressure so he needed to change it to a less powerful one. Seems to have fixed the problem. Runs great now. Yesterday he put new brakes on the rear, so we're planning on bleeding them today. Looks like he made need to get air shocks for the rear so tires will clear the fenders. Keep the pics coming!
Ok, I have some updated pictures of my dad's truck. He ended up going crazy and redoing the entire truck. The engine is a 383 stroker with 417 horsepower, disc brakes all around, 400 transmission with shift kit, chevy rear end, Heidts IFS. Everything brought back to original except running gear. He has it in shop now to have interior down. Here are a few pictures. Any thoughts are welcome.... [/IMG] [/IMG] [/IMG] [/IMG] [/IMG] [/IMG]
