**New PICS** Changed the coupe, different tires, louvered the hood.

Well I decided to lose the whitewalls and try the blackwalls...I like the blackwalls much better. I had the master of louvers Roy Eisman punch some old school clam shell style louvers in the top and sides...really helped the heat issue. Got the intake carb issues worked out,,,she runs a lot better now.

Heres a few more. 55 324 Olds, 2 97's, edmunds intake, ford 4 speed.

Hey Pete, the car looks good. Are you coming to CT with the guys for Ruimblers by chance?...if not, maybe I'll see you on the salt

 

Ill be at Terryville, My pal Jim just got his 36 3 window going, swapped the flathead for a 331 caddy, went for a ride tonight...wow.

We have about 5 guys driving to Bonneville, hope we make it.

Pete-

 

Blackwalls and bare aluminum make the car. Looks great. The FOGGER

 

N I C E !

 

More better!! Love that car!.

 

great improvement, cant wait to see the car in person again!

 

(how do you politely tell someone that if they raised the ass end of their car 2" it would be absolutely fucking perfect?)

...and yeah, the blackwalls are the tits.

 

Wow! That car fucking rules!! Never seen it before. Thanks for the pics.

 

Larry,

No offense at all...actually the rear spring thats in the car is the original and sags a lot. i called posies to buy a new one but I guess they fucked up their dies and made a bunch of springs that were off on one side by a 1/4"
I was told they are making new dies to correct the problem.

Thanks for the comps.


kiwi...

I really dug you vaca pics, looks like you had a kick ass time.

Pete-

 

Man, now that is a sweet looking car! I like the different grill and color too. Very nice!

 

Me neither, that car rules. Dont be afraid to post more pics.

 

hey pete,,,whats goin on?..long time no talk,,,,,
the car is looking GREAT,,,,,,,,,,,,REALLY nice job

 

Hey 777


Damn dude! Hey do you still have the caddy custom you were building?? Its been a long time...funny thing, I was looking through an old issue of mag-neto and there is a pic of us talking near my car.

pete-

 

i would say from experiance in building one of the nicest 3 windows ever that you could state your opinion openly....
but i have to say this green machine is a contender for coolest 3 window on the hamb
tk

 

hahhaa...yeah,,i remember that picture!...
to make a long story short, i sold the caddy because i had been bugging a friend for the last 20 years to sell me an old unfinished kustom he had,,,,a chopped 40 merc convertible,,,,,,unfortunately, i couldnt afford to keep the caddy and get this car..so the caddy was sold to a hamber in denmark,,,miss that car,,,but someday ill build another

 

777,

you going to the Rumblers in Terryville Ct?

Pete-

 

Sorry don't like the front ....

except that the car looks cool...

I think that's the fighter plane look that Foose was after. Looks awesome!

 

Nice coupe, will be tops with the Back a bit higher, post pics when you get your Spring.

 

Coupe looks awesome. Keep up the good work

 

WOW! Talk about a step back in time! Looks great...
