Features >>>A Tale Of Two Coupes: The Storming Of "Da Steel"<<<

Any updates for this thread?

 

Damn it, I'm getting lazy with this thread posting thing huh? ShooShoo has his frame and suspension all painted and it's going back together in the next couple of weeks. Then he's gonna run the brake and fuel lines before moving on to the body work.

My brother has put the rest of the pieces together to adapt the LaSalle to the 364 and is not working on squeezing that F1 box in between the starter and the frame rail. He thinks he's got an idea that'll work there so basically he has to finish up his engine mounts and mid mounts and then he can start working on the pedals and such.

I'll take my camera there and shoot a bunch of progress pics. I can at least get to my brother's pretty soon so I should have those this week?

Until then I leave you with this shot of Shoo SHoo's painted (actually powdercoated) frame.

 

Frame looks great!! I'm still trying to locate one for my 30 coupe with no luck...

 

A 32 frame?

 

There's complete frames and frame rails in the HAMB Cl***ifieds!

 

Those are going to be 2 sweet rides, man.

 

Two Very Cool Coupes..

 

Thanks for the update Jeff. I see now where all that Buick and Lasalle stuff is going. Looks like it will be a sweet ride. Glad your brother got out of Attica. Must be nice having him next door now.

 

Yeah for sure!!! It's definitely nice to see him more then just a couple times a year. And yes I think he's addicted to these Nailheads. He's talking about blowers and such now!

 

I can not wait to see them going down the road. I will be the one with drool running down my face.

 

Yep a 32! Love them a coupes on duece rails! I want to find something like that you got posted there.

 

Well there's certainly plenty frames to choose from like Bretty said. Just gotta bite the bullet and buy one!

Of course I love them either way and I think if I ever get a Model a it might say on an "A" ch***is just because I like them too!


I'm stoked for both of them to get there cars on the roads. Both have had them for 5+ years now and they deserve to drive the piss out of them! But before that can happen I have a lot of pics to take of the progress being made.

 

What a *****in coupe.

 

Cool thread, and two great cars!

 

Purty.

Maybe I missed it, wouldn't be the first time...what regimen did you guys use for your brother's coupe as far as "A to '32 rails" fitment? Talkin' PLAN view here. Around the cowl.

 

Thanks for the update Jeff. Can't eait to see these coupes. I will have a good start on mine in the next couple of months, have been collecting parts like crazy. Can't wait to share with everyone!

 

Any updates JJ???

 

SUUUUUUUBBBBSSSCCCRIIIBBBEEEEDDDDD! Damn nice builds

 

It's been a while.. Anything?

 

Well My brother's coupe is on hold because he's building his '65 Ford Pickup right now.

ShooShoo's coupe is in the process of having all the body work done and will be painted directly afterwards. The ch***is currently is sitting with the engine and trans in and all suspension mounted. Brake lines are ran but not bled. Last thing to do on the ch***is is install the MILLS & CO. E-Brake kit. That car is very very close. I promise, next time I'm up there I'm getting pics....

 

Great looking cars. I'm working on a '29 roadster now near Charlotte. Hope you guys get them on the road soon. Trying for late spring at least running for myself but we will see. Glad to see some more folks around here into these cars. Good luck.

 

JJ with 15000 posts you can't say that you are to lazy to post. I am. CoolAids keep it up

 

Watching!! Looking good!

 

Chris showed me a picture of it and it was painted and all.. It looked good.

Where are the updates, man!!

 

I'll be invading the Iron Lords compound in person in a few days and I'll see if I can get some spy photos.

 

Is any ****ing around involved?

Oh, and tell Chris he's 45. He loves it.

 

Ha!

 

Elrod, Chris' coupe isn't at the Iron Lords lair....it's at a secret location that even Chris forgets the way to occasoinally. (You didn't think it would take this long to build just because he's lazy, did you?) JJ can take you there, but then he'd have to kill you......

Chris's coupe is looking insanely good. Mike's coupe is on hold while he works on other projects.
