    figured I would post up a few pics of my 30 coupe, it use to be a beater till my buddies from Ricky Bobby's Rodshop came out a re-did the front of it. Came out Bad ***!!! They re-did the front frame and added custom horns, steering , chopped the bones, made new motor mounts, fabricted cross member, and sectioned my 32 grill. Also installed new tires. Still gotta wrap the headers! no more butchered up car anymore. I added a before and after pics. car is way more traditional now. heres a few quick pic's <!-- / message --><!-- attachments -->

    Harris thanks a lot bud, top came out just the way I pictured it. The upholstery shop did a great job, yah I think that intake setup is gonna finish off the car just right.

    Thanks, the color is original patina with some special juice on it to darken it up. The top unsnaps an opens with just the top wood in it.

    Great car with those improvements, good luck on the 6x2 setup.
    I had an x1 crossram log style, tempermental and not a real hard running setup with an auto, no stall, highway gears, and tall tires. LOL. But man did it look good!
