    Looking good. Working out the pedals and clutch linkage is a hassle...but well worth it. I have some templates/pics I can FW you for mechanical linkage that we run in the cars if you like...

  19. Hey man, I appreciate all the compliments you made on the build thread of my coupe and I have been watching your build since day one and have not said any thing about yours yet. Today I thought I'd let you know how much I'm enjoying your build, first off, when I look back at the stance and the High Boy look you have I thought to myself, good god, That looks a lot like my coupe. Then I see some one post some thing about lowering the rear and was fearing the out come, glad you didn't change that. I think it looks like it should or at least that is my opinion, I moved mine up and down a bazillion times and there's just something about the high boy look that to me is totally awesome, well maybe that's just me.

    Now what you did in preparation for the floors with that see thru plastic was just fucking brilliant, wish I had thought of that, and if you don't mind, I think I will do the same, sure makes for a simple pattern.

    In another thread somewhere Isaac "White Devil" was talking to Hot Turkey about being inspired by each others build and yes, when we see something that peeks our interest we tend to do the same thing although sometimes with our own twist to it.

    Having said all that, I just want to say I think your just doing a fantastic job there and the coupe is looking killer.

    Merry Christmas from my family to yours.:)
    Grits

    Grits thanks for the complimints man i think your car is pretty killer too!!!! The plastic pattern was a genuis idea just to bad it wasn't mine!!! Roothawg should get the credit for that one. If i can just find more time,money,and talent i think i might be o.k. Until then i'll just keep pluging along.

    Great job!!! I've been following your build for a while now...even have it on my fav's... I really liked the way you did your rear subframe rails... even thought about doing mine like that. I like that banjo too... It's hard to beat an A Coupe on deuce rails... Keep up the good work!!!

    Totally G-R-E-A-T build. I've been working on my own `30 coupe ... and after a scant 3 years (and a 3" chop) am now driving it. But I'm officially jealous! Your coupe just nails what a Model should look like. Thanks for sharing.
