    Hey there 31 pickemup, I can't help but notice that HEMI in your avatar. They are really making a comeback, all three brands. Good luck with your Deuce.

    Car was finished in the late 60's early 70's but then sat til 2012. Body wasn't too bad. They did braze in a 4"x10" patch in the door to cover a 1" hole lol! They did more damage with the heat.

    Well I had a chance to take some quick pictures. Next week I should be able to get some more detailed shots with information. Wheels finally were mounted. V8-60 wide fives in the front with 5.50" Coker classic radials and standard wide fives with 7.50 Coker classic radials in the rear. Car will be sitting higher in the rear by probably 2.5-3" when the new Model A rear spring is installed.

    Great car, and I like all the changes you're making. But I must say, for a 70's build, the first version was surprisingly restrained and tasteful.

    I like your version , but wouldn't it have been easier/better to start with a shell? That car was just wheels and some add ins from being a pretty bitchin 60s car.. One had to be sacrificed for the other?

    no a shell would have cost me 26k with no frame. The car was bought for 12k running

    I am late to the party but not cutting the top I think is a swell idea.
