Well here it is, my new ride!! It's a 1929 Ford Coupe or what I like to call it a Truggy. It has a 350/350 combo and I've made my own grill insert, my own seats and extended the leg room by 8". I've also been fixing the leaks and have them almost stopped.. I'm having a blast working on it and hooking it up right. I'm getting it ready for the drive to the Viva Las Vegas Show. See you guys there!! Click on my user ID and you can look at the Album of the car. The picks wont's upload to this post sorry.
Here's a pics of it... You might get some flak for this car here on the HAMB because it does not fit into the idea and principles that the HAMB is based upon, but I think that there is some potential to turn that around. I can appreciate that you love your new Hot Rod because it's probably a ton of fun right??? Well, any plans that would make it look a bit more complete??? Here what I would do over time and money allows.... Switch to 16" early Ford wheels with 7.50's and 6.00 bias ply firestones Model T gas tank to replace the keg Finish sheet metal work to allow body to look complete under quarter windows Cut down grille shell so that's even with cowl New visor perhaps one that wraps around a bit Get rid of zoomies and run something a bit more subdued or lake headers Extend belt line instead of letting end abruptly. Lastly if you ever get into frame work take 8-10" out of the front so that it take up the space between engine and radiator. Have fun with it and make sure you wear extra thick skin!
Yeah I plan on doing some sheet metal work and putting some Artillary wheels on it. I know the Keg has to go but like the saying goes I have more time then money. Thanks for the input.
