Hot Rods Should I Cut up a Bone Stock All Original 28 Coupe??

Too Late I already did!!! This was my winter project, started off with bone stock unrestored running and driving 28 leatherback coupe. The guy I bought it from has had it since 1961, he bought it off a used car lot for $600 (lots of money for an A back then!!) rebuilt the 4 banger in 1976 then parked it in a barn in 1977. Then I came along in the summer of 2008, found out he lost his storage on it so convinced him to sell it to me so I could restore it to its original glory. I didnt say I was gonna restore it orginal though...

 

Good for you.......it looks great.

 

NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh, so you did-looks cool make sure the spare parts find a good home.

 

It's a keeper! dig the color!

My opinion why not. Looks good I wouldn't of advertised it though . People are funny sometimes and wont sell you parts.

 

Looks great!

 

Incredible change, looks great.

I sold all the usable parts to some local restoration guys and donated some other parts to friends. A friend of mine is a antiquer and he says I shouldnt feel bad, it was one of those cars that was too good to be bad but too bad to be good. The leather back top ruined most of the rood and flapped in the wind when I was driving.

 

night and day improvement. looks great. any other plans?

 

looks really legit ! ! love those hopped up bangers. good job

 

Goddamn kids ruining every goddamn decent old automobile. You should be ashamed of yourself!

 

looks great you damn heathin!

 

My answer to your question was , Absolutely. Looks great. ( just don't let the previous owner see it !).

 

Well done. Looks perfect. Be sure to drive it over to show the guy you bought it from, just to see what his reaction is. Be sure to take a camcorder and post the video here.

 

Awesome!!!

Damn hot rodders................................nah, nice job!

 

Is the rear stepped? Reason I ask is I stepped mine 4" and was not going to channel right away. The location of the rear wheels gives me an idea what the rear of mine should look like if yours is not stepped.
Does that make any sense at all?

 

Well done, looks cool! Just how it used to be done. This is after all, the HAMB.

 

liked it original, but I like it way better the way you have it now

 

Yes. Yes, you did good.

 

You did good... It would be a shame not to cut it down!

 

lot of work to make a good looking car look like your driving something that your too poor to finish>>> i still have the hood for mine after taking it off in 67

 

It sounds like you did.

I like it though.

 

of course you should cut it up..chopped, channeled , slammed all the good things are always way cooler than a stocker...cut it up you make yourself happier

 

Looks great Man!!

 

i really dig this car! great lookin car man.

 

what is the black stuff on the top?

 

100% improvement

 

It would have never been worth what it would have cost to have restored it, this way it is being driven instead of rotting in a shed and is a classic example of an old time hot rod. Ya' done good in my book, I'd be seen in it.
