    Any pics of the interior? Like the shifter? I'm planning on using a floor shift in my 46 coupe.

    Started rubbing, paints looking pretty solid. Also pulled all the plugs and oiled the cylinders .... motor turns over by hand and has compression. Boling Brothers also came through with everything I need to do upgrade to Lincoln brakes.

    They're actually 670s. I had 710s and 670s side by side. I was ready to pull the trigger on the bigger tire, but chickened out.

  25. I'd love to have a long-door like this one for a daily driver. AC to survive the Arizona summers and pretty basic otherwise. It'd be cool.

    Mine I picked up 2 weeks ago. Roadtrip'd to NYC from Des Moines, IA to pick it up after buying it on ebay. Like it so far. I want to swap out the radials with Porta walls to an actual wide whitewall not sure what to get though as far as sizes and bias plys or radials. Advice welcomed. 1445977825966.jpg

    It's original suspension aside from longer shackles all around. They seem to hang down pretty low though so I might make changes there
    Original flathead and 3 spd on the column.

    Torque'y little fugger.
