Projects Got my '40 Coupe done finally, BIG Thanks to Olscrounger

Looks great, enjoy the ride!

 

Welcome to the Forty club, super 60s look, right on the money!

 

Russco, you nailed it!
GPS isn't traditional - getting lost and having to find a map is! Lol

 

I remember one just about like that "back in the day". Way to go.

 

Sweet coupe

 

Great Job!
color, wheels and white running boards go great together...
enjoy

 

See you at Beatersville this weekend. Have a safe trip down.

 

Great Looking Car, thanks for postin'

 

The car looks great Mike! I thought it was a good looking car before you started, but this is just over the top. You really nailed it. Looking forward to seeing it in person.

Nice. Metallic blue, chrome reversed wheels, white running boards. Love it.

 

Thanks guys. I'm really happy with it so far. I had some good help on it too, Da Tim Man (Jay) did some work on the floors and a few patches for me and my buddy Brad painted it for me. I have a build thread on here showing most all of the build. The drivetrain is a 383 SBC with 6" rods and hydraulic roller mated to a TKO 5 speed and a 9" ford rear with 3.50 gear. It should be making over 450 HP and about 500 torque but I haven't dynoed it. It has 65 mustang bucket seats with the factory off white pearl vinyl the same material I used on the running boards.

 

great job Mike---glad to help you out--glad the pts worked and fit-just starting another std coupe here as well-- Tim

 

I'm a fan. ;-)

 

Russco, nice job. The good news is the weather for Beatersville will be great. Enjoy.
