Do I sell my 34 project (body, box, frame and 27 study grill shell) to my budy for 4500 to finance the model a transaction??? See the pics and help me out!!!

    Sell your soul to the devil and buy the coupe too! Otherwise, if you wanna hang on to your soul; keep the truck.

    kool, does selling your soul to the devil really work??? Really though, I love the truck and would trade my left leg to keep it -- but this coupe is soooo solid -- been in a barn since 62' and is 100% complete - doesn't even need any patch panels (still gas in the gas tank)!!! I've got a set of deuce rails - 34 commercial grill shell and the 425 nailhead (from the pickup) - so the coupe wouldn't be a long build!!! !@#$%^ damn it!!! I'll kick my own *** if I p*** up the coupe, but the pick up is kool!!! ugh

    Wait wait wait. The only logical solution is this one:

    There has never been a truck built that was as cool as a comprably appointed coupe...

    That's why resale will be higher for the coupe.

    BUY THE COUPE...
     
  19. Ok If the coupe is as nice as you say and you can get a good price for the truck....Are you keeping the engine?

    I change my mind and say go for the coupe.

    Are you confused yet. hahaha

    tell your friend to buy the coupe, you help each other get them going and then switch off driving them

    I have owned both and the coupe will break even when you decide to offload. Car guys just keep building and collecting. If you could have both there would be no dilema!

    Personally I'd keep the truck, but we all know you are gonna have regrets whatever you do. You could consider selling the 32 rails and even the Nailhead (easier to replace than finding another cherry coupe), plus whatever else you can dredge up and then trying to find the rest of the cash to allow you to get the coupe and just store it until you are ready to decide. Good luck.

    What do YOU want ?

    Sounds to me that it's the new Coupe project !

    So sell the truck, and do the Coupe.
