    I'm diggin the color and would like to see a few more pics. I know it's not much to go on. I've searched thru most of the "dash" threads thinking that's where I might have saved this pic from. He's obviously a HAMBer. Thanks

    Kinda looks similar to the color of DW's coupe the Austin mangler.

    It's close but not quite right. Austin Mangler isn't chopped and has a different dash. Thanks for the try.

    Color similar to Grit's coupe... but the dash and headliner are different.

    BigA's old coupe? (or maybe he still owns it?)

    Not finding it – think I misspoke.

    It was Big Dirty's car from San Fran area originally. I think it was sold and now lives in New York.

    Check the cl***ifieds for the ad it may be too long ago though, There was another thread I think about it later being scratched at a car show or something like that.

    I just found it, too, in my Model A pics saved. I think it's a 6" chop, or close to it, if I'm not mistaken.

    Thanks Russco...saw your coupe (sold) in the cl***ifieds. Had to be hard to let that beauty go! That 1007B cam sounds perfect in your vid. I'm using the same grind from Delta. Haven't fired mine up yet.

    Great link...lots of nice pics...now if I could only figure out that color! Thanks so much!

    I only chopped mine 4 inches, now I wish I had cut it a bit tighter.

    You will love it, the perfect cam for a hot street motor.
