You all saw pics of the super chop we did on Daddys 32' Plymouth... Now check out the nose. It will be welded together as one piece from the fire wall forward to be lifted off!!! Grill is an original Curtis. The Caddy motor brings it down about three inches from hear and there will be NO HEADLIGHTS.
Looks good. I would be more than happy to walk out and see a car with that look in my shed any day. Hell, I'd even be happy to have that nose hanging on the wall as some sort of garage art. I don't think "she who must be obeyed" would be too happy with it hanging on the wall inside the house, so with the little amount of time of time I spend in the shed, it would be much better staying where it is. Great look, and good on you!! Michael
That says it all man! That looks awesome, and a Cad mill is just perfect for it. Keep us posted as it gets closer to ripping down the salt flats (you know you will when its done) -Dean
Bob, Hey how are ya. Hope youy got home from Louisville ok. The axle was on E-gaycomplete with wishbones and spindle mounts and all, and Mike was ready to buy it. Mike called and told the guy i'll take it now... well there was some confusion and the seller sold it to another guy. That guy had the coupe you see hear unchopped, on a stock frame. He lost interest and sold the axle and coupe too Mike. Then we got a hold of it. That axle was cut out like that back in the day... scary buisness, but what a way to go... Driving a bitchin' Caddy powered, three window, tracknose coupe. Am I still striping yer car at the Plie Up? PAPPY
Man that thing is evil. Aren' you worried about all of that weight on the axle(caddy brought her down 3 inches)?? Looks bitchin though. Yeah got home from L'ville in time to change cars and head for B'ville. You gotta make that some day. It is car heaven. Check your PM's BB
I was there back in 01' I swore I wouldn't go back until my dad goes with me. He says 06' is the year... see you there. JD
Holy hell that RULES. I don't suppose you live in the midwest do you, or are anywhere remotely close to the Pileup?
Hell yea we do!! FTWC!!! I know what yer thinkin' though. Its not going. we have too many other projects that are scedualled for that show, and they are maybe's Look for it to be drivin' to Detroit in Feb. JD
Are you running brakes on those Hals and if so, how're you attacking that? Ford spindles? Oh yeah, righteous car!
