    I decided to roll my patchwork 40 ford outside today so I could actually walk around it before its snowed into the garage. Its a mash up of two New England 4 door bodys and the remnants of a coupe body. Just 100 thousand more things to do before spring and ill be driving this shitbox. Gonna be flathead powered. I'll be posting some progress pics over this fall winter. If you don't have a current tetanus shot please avert your eyes

    Nice work! Like to see some pics of your build showing how you put things together.

    Looks like your at a good point in your build.

    Keep up the good work.

    Maybe you can put a build thread up on the "tradional customs" area. Might get lost in volume of the main board

    Check my build thread

    Wow, take a pile of leftovers and make a fine pot of chopped 40 Coupe stew. You came out with some nice lines on that one.

    I F'ng LOVE it! When I looked at the first pic, it was like I could see it in a finished color. Dare I say, it's bad ass, as it sits right now. Hell of a lot of work, but you're doing some crazy cool shit there. Hammer of the Gods, baby. Hammer of the Gods.

    That looks great! I think I remember the shot of the Coupe here on the HAMB when it was first discovered. Nice old building in the background, look forward to more progress photos and details. Bob

    It takes an exceptional eye and a lot of talent to chop a top on a 40 ford and make it look rite.
    Congrats, I think you nailed it and I will be looking forward to more progress pics.

    Great work and lines on the car!
    Is the Coupe the one that HAMBer Pete had? That Coupe was a very rough start!
