    Thanks for all the feedback guys!!!!

    Paulie, can you believe it, it's finally going to be done....we definently have to get the coupes out for a run, people will flip!!!!

    wispdshop: In regards to your question, 6" was taken out of the top.

    Tudor, you do have a good memory, or maybe the first picture gave it away!!! Ya the coupe was going to be silver, I love silver, but I decided I wanted the car to really stand out and pop rather than blend in. That's also why the motor got painted metal flake gold with green metal flake..POP!!! That was rich's idea at Gilroy Chop Shop by the way!!!!

    Django: Believe it or not, Cl***ic Instruments. 2 dual clusters and the speedo-tach combo gauge.

    Jas--

    You must be so stoked- I'm proud of you for sticking w/ it and seeing the thing through. I've seen this project at every stage, so it feels real good to see your baby almost done. Nice, brother, nice.

    Remeber that race for pinks? Well, forget it- Your gonna blow my doors off (if they don't fall off first).

    It's not infection, it's just a leak on the Dirty Digit!!!!!

    So there it is Jay!!!!! As a courtesy you may want to hand out some of those foam earlugs to your new neighbors because after I roll by in the coupe they may be lynching the new guy on the block.......que the squeal..." Ka Kaaaa"

    holy ****. you built a car perfectly fitting to the ultr-cool hot rod ideal.

    like everyone said. you nailed the stance, and your color choices are brilliant. what color and brand did you paint the engine block? that is awesome.

    Dirty, You said that the coupe changed direction 5 times...Im glad that you stayed with it because the 5th time is perfection...and the color choice is amazing! Let me know when you are going to try to fire it off, maybe a few of us can come down and give you a hand. -Gunar

    You can't go wrong with metallic green and gold/copper. I see a photo opportunity with my '47 and the coupe.

    Jason, that coupe is CANS!! Glad you'll be a local soon, can't wait to see people s--t themselves on Friday night Martinez downtown cruise in when they see your coupe....
    I say it will be the "Poop Coupe".....cause when you see it in person, that is what you will do. POOP.

    Sweet! I think taking the "road less traveled" and making it nice paid off.

    I totally agree except.....I don't think you nailed it. I know for a fact you nailed it. Great addition to the hot rod hobby!
