18 year olds 30 coupe

My buddy Roger and his son Mitch built this coupe for Mitch's senior project.It started with 600.00 body from another buddy,and this is how it ended up.
Stock 283 with 2 barrels.Turbo 350.Narrowed winters quick change.Real halibrands on the rear.Mitch graduates high school this year and is going to school to work on cars.

 

cool car

 

Interesting dash...any idea on its origins? I hope a real paint job is planned.

 

Way to go , what a cool project , looks wicked.

 

lots of great parts there! fun stuff wish I had the mentors he does at his age.

 

Wicked.

 

Fantastic! I hope you never paint it.

 

That is the way to go ! Congrats on your project !

 

Cool ride, hope it gets paint

 

nice

 

Does it run as mean as it looks?

 

Well most of the time a tubbed coupe looks a little silly but that one actually looks OK. Maybe its the quicky sticking out from underneath.

The exhaust is interesting, does it make a U-Turn under there?

A good coat of Candy red and some sort of door art and it could p*** for a '60s door slammer of some sort.

Not a bad start for a 21st century kid.

 

Sure beats a tuner car.It's not getting paint for awhile.He's gonna drive it and have fun with it.

 

Very cool, whats that dash?

 

very cool!

 

very cool project!!!

 

Look on the bright side, the kid could be driving a Ricer. Nice car.

 

Looks killer,sweet high school ride for shure.

 

looks to be a 34 chevy dash .

 

Very cool, just not feeling the rear tires...

 

Thats cool. when i was in high school no one had a car like that.

 

very cool! nice to see young guys building hot rods

 

I second that.

 

Drop the front end and it will be REALLY cool.

 

I think it needs wider tires.

 

Lot of meat on the rear for a stock 283... but looks kewl...nice to know a young pup is stll into old steel and not tuner cars with fart tubes

 

Like it.Good Job!

 

ditch those tires for sure. otherwise-pretty cool.

 

Nice one. Keep the wide tires but it screams for paint.
