    The Cochran coupe is a long-term work in progress... It is no longer on an a-chassis as my height made it impossible... It's now on deuce rails, but it's still just as low.

    nice ride marcy.

    don't know how similar they are chassis-wise, but my 53 olds is not as low as i would like; with two people and a suitcase in the trunk, the rear u-joint slaps the tunnel (on BIG bumps/potholes/bridges). 76 firebird rear, pretty nice install, sbc/automatic. home fabbed mounts. i like where everything sets, gonna cut out the tunnel and go for a couple more inches...in the rear.
