I was visiting my friends at Hot Rod Garage today and they were about to start a Coupe they are building for a customer, WOW beautiful car and the 13 to 1, 480 something CI 409 sounded Awesome! This car is going to be a beast Spy photos!
Beautiful motor, really looks sharp! Nice to see some of these fellows work. I've been getting some parts thru them, thanks for the HAMB discount. Jims really a nice guy to deal with.
Disc brakes, electric fan, ALL windows are power, A/C, even the deck lid is power! Its traditional in theme but extreme!!
boy, you'd think a three window with a 409, quick change, halibrands, I beam front end, and radius rods would over shadow disc brakes, power windows and an electric fan...
Toast, is that an original block, or (I'm guessing at 480+ci) one of the new Walden/World Products blocks?
Geez Guys! If I said it was traditional someone would have thrown all the modern touches back at me! Just enjoy my ****py pics of a beautiful car! I should have never used the "T" word
Yup, that's the beauty of money. Plop it down an a table and the car builds itself . The guys working in the shop really are only a courier service to bring the money to the vault. Why do we praise those who do the building, but bash those who pay the same guys to do the building? I am a mechanic by trade and also do a ton of work at home. Some late model, some 'antique', some hot rod etc... As much as I enjoy working on the older cars versus newer ones, ultimately I like the money my customers pay me more.Am I selling out for doing the work, or are they selling out for paying a fair price for good honest work? Bottom line is the guys are building a beautiful car. Many guys want the best of both worlds-a traditional looking car with modern creature comforts. It is the craftsmen who build them who determine how nicely they can combine the two worlds. This looks like a top 10 pick car from what I can see in the few photos. Well done!
Even though they are draggin the banker around by the collar, that W head is killer. My only question is, will there be a camera for backing up installed???? Sorry, couldn't resist!!!
Wow, is that nice. Someone's got some deep pockets. A build like has got to cost about 10 pounds of $20 bills.
