    Cool. I know how you feel. I got my coupe 2 years ago. It has even worse wheels (saw bladezzz, dude) and the chassis and engine are not hamb approved. BUT-it's mine and I'm going to change some of the street rod aspects and enjoy the ride of a MII and IRS. I like fenderless A's but prefer them on a 32 frame. It takes a really good eye to get an A highboy on an A frame right, to my eye. But let's face it-you're a winner either way. Chrome reverses would kill. I'm leaning toward those on mine.

    Only thing I would change now is the headlight bar. They sell one that lowers the headlights. Great looking ride!!!
