    The HAMB has always been full of Rob Halfordesque homo's, but what's with all of these Sallies that are whining about cutting cars up and doing burnouts on the street lately?

    Nathan's A coupe/pickup is gonna be sweet.

    I think everyone needs to grow a pair and cut something up.

    Yeah I'm with everyone else here. I'd sell the coupe body and buy a 4 door body then take the second door out and boom big cab for your rod truck. Here is a pic of one I saw at the bo Huff show 2007

    Now THAT is exactly what I had in mind. Nice start on a truck.
     
  5. Save a coupe use parts or a wasted 4 door.

    Build it like you want to. I like the extended cab pickup look.

    Well, I have done it with my T coupe, not finished yet.
    It was a sad body and I needed a hot rod pickup.
    Worked out OK and has heaps of leg room.

    You do need to reproportion the wheel base to make it look right.
    My wheel base is 116 inches and I have shortened the bed by 6 inches to suit. I also recessed the fire wall about 3 inches to help maintain the proportions

    The bed in the pic is stock, but I got Last Refuge to custom make me one with all the belt lines in the correct place for my project, they did a good job.

    I would trade it out man. A coupes are the new 32, well almost. They are gettin pricy and extremely rare. Get a later 30s truck . They have a little more room than A's.
