Projects Update on my coupe

Well, here are some pics of my bellybutton ,SBC powered, 4 inch chop, on 32 rails , over engineered 30 model A.

Nothing fancy just my junk.


I built the frame over the winter and built the radius rods a couple of weeks ago. I am laying out the floor panels now. I built the roll bar last weekend.


I felt like NoSurf was making me look like a punk.

 

"Nothing fancy just my junk."
???
Oh .. pa-leeze!

Love your "junk".

 

Yup, you didn't lie when you said the floor was overbuilt!

 

I like stability.......

 

Very nice. Love the stance. I gotta put a '32 chassis under my Model A now.

 

Wow-you might change my opinion about Oklahoma. (some things anyway). That is one stout looking frame, and a right-on stance. I lust for one of those.

 

I like the junk in the trunk. The way the rear bar tubes tuck into the quarters and all.

Rumble seat?!?!

 

Motor mounts and roll bar.

 

nice

 

Lookin good man. Thanks for posting the pictures. I like that plastic floor templet stuff.

 

No rumble seat. Fuel cell.

 

Street n strip?

 

Put a pad on it, people will still want to ride there. Then you can scare 3 people at once.

 

Sort of Tman. Just a fun driver. It's more for the minivan driving, cell phone toting soccer moms.

 

What size is that roll bar tubing?

 

1-1/2" scooter. It's not NHRA regulation but I have a 1.5" die for my bender. It is DOM though. .095 wall.

 

Like it a LOT. Please keep us updated as you progress.

 

Yeah, I just did something like that with mine too. I used 1-1/2" x .120 wall. Probably doesn't meet any sanctioned requirements by any group with standards, but mostly I opted to build something to support the body and add some safety in the event that the unthinkable would happen.

Looks great man! I dig it, for sure!

 

Nice work!! What rear spring did you use?

What's the original application for those fenderwell headers? I like how they look.

 

It looks good. The roll bar is a nice touch.

 

Root I really dig it... and I too like having a stable floor under me...plus the way you like to drive .... :~) can't wait to see more

 

Looking good, for a cell phone soccer mom. Like the see thru floors, you should leave 'em. It'll be like Wonder Woman, except without the lasso. Headlights on there look good too.

 

Very cool. Looks like a well-engineered ride so far, with nice proportions to boot!

 

Since I am too retarded to do the multi quote, I'll just answer these on here.
1. model a front spring
2. 35-40 Ford fenderwell headers

 

Nice! Very nice!

 

Very cool. Nice and solid!

 

So I'm running the same headers, what are doing with the rest of the exhaust? Under the car or down the side. Thanks Dave

 

I'm gonna try my hand at sand bending. I'll tuck it up under the car.

 

nice shop !
