    Earlier this year I bought a 1950 Coupe body with front snubbed with a mustang 2 and the rear half of the frame cut along with the floor pans also came with a nice Airride brand kit.The previous owner did all the lower patch panels and was getting it ready to build a streetrod. I got a 1951 front clip and a maverick rear and Im beginning to roll...

    plans are as follows..
    60's style
    2" section
    3/5 chop
    french head/tail lights
    molding/nosing the front
    302 c/4
    Airride
    Tube grill

    Guys that think unchopped coupes with a section are crazy, the cars look terrible..4" sections are too much,3 at the most. Still have to keep the portions...

    Wow killer work. Are you going to radius the rear wheel wells or leave them alone?
