    Yes sir I saw that sometime back. Nice 32s you have there. This 32 was a three year build. Still need the interior.

    Too late. Go back one page and you'll see it's well on its way to being completed.

    I had the gas filler (on the driver's quarter panel), the antenna hole, and the rumble handle hole, filled and finished out.

    What a great improvement, your coupe is now a Hot Rod. The color is perfect. When I chopped my 3W back in '99 the stock height coupes just didn't look right. Love chopped Ford coupes.
