    Hey Guys,

    I thought I would post pics to see what you think.

    47 Pontiac bussiness man's coupe
    Sbc 4 speed
    Ford 9 inch posi
    Air shocks
    Ladder bars
    ****tershield
    567 fenderwell headers
    4.5" Type D's with volkswagen tires

    Just trying to build a street machine right out of the 60's like they did back in the day. Everything was built from scratch or junk yard parts by myself. 20 years old, third old car i'm doing. I rent a garage and have been slowly collecting tools as I need them. I love G***ers, old race cars, hot rods.

    Let me know what you think.

    Kris

    Looks good from here. That should make a nice roadburner to head out to some rod trots in pretty soon.

    Kris, The car you have built is spot on. You've got the black steel rims with the big meats out back and the light alloy rims with skinnies up front. That's how it was done back in my day in my neighborhood. My suggestion is to keep refining the look, maybe some aluminum door panels with a little bead rolling. Keep it clean, simple and to the point. Good job!

    Looks damn fine to me too. I like those "short nosed" Canadian Ponchos, so feel free to call that engine a "sbp". If anyone asks, tell them you yanked it out of a 64 Laurentian. Keep up the good work.
     
  26. Good luck, sounds like a good plan
