So-Cal coupe pre heavy chop question??

[BobbedT]

Does anyone out there have any pics or a source for pics of the So-Cal coupe before it was really chopped, as I love the way it was before.

I'm really looking for one taken directly from the side to get an idea for re-chopping my coupe.


thanks in advance

I agree it is almost perfect. At the So Cal Speed Shop site listed below, click on “downloads”, then “desktop background” then “background 2” for both the older and the more radical chop.

The Rod and Custom magazine site has a couple of pictures of the earlier chop. Just click on them for a bigger picture.

There was a real nice feature on the So-Cal Coupe in # 24 issue of The Rodders Journal. I got to see this piece of Hot Rod History last Labor Day at the vintage races at Lime Rock Park in Sharron Connecticut. You never know what will show up there.

this is the same car after alexis's driver,Dave DeLangton his son in law was killed he didnt wanna race anymore so he sold the car ,jim travis drove it and it became the 400 shown here ,for a few years

this is after the chop

imagine if that thing was street legal after the chop?

"Sir you ran that red light"
"I didn't SEE any lights officer"
"Well I'm gonna have to write you up"
"Write this up!"then slams on the gas while saying "Let's see ya catch this OFFICER!"

and now that I'm done w/ a crappy sunday night read you can go on the next guy..........
