Making My a coupe Gasser for the Antque nats

Been finally getting some work done on my coupe. I have neglected it for a long time. With the Help of Luke Dechurchio

I got the engine back together last night. Sounds pretty cool..

I raised the front end about 6 inches. I would like to put a model A axle under it.. I have some new slicks for the back coming and with throw on some kidney beans in the rear. Dropped the rear 6"
Put on 18" spindle mounts in the front too

I am waiting for some banjo fittings and will try to finish up a 6x2 setup instead of 3x2 ..

Still NEED the Rad and Grille back on it

Wow!!!

 

why no front brakes? Very cool and tough looking though.

 

Don't take this wrong, but you need much smaller headlights for a gasser.

nice car!

 

BADASS Aaron!
The lights look outta place though. Send them to ME! I've gotta place for 'em! hahahaha.

Josh

 

Cool. Nice to see a different type coupe beeing built

 

Yea I still have to get the grille back on it. I don't want to completely change the car over. . I am just going to run it around the summer like this. I might pull the lights off for the races..

Believe me its hard enough. I have been putting in about 60-70 hours a week at my day job..

here it is with the grille back on!!

Aaron

 

Damn thats cool...... you are a mad man.

 

And fenders, or else it's an altered. Great looking car. no matter what it is!

 

the grill makes all the difference in the world, lights don't look so out of place. I feel your pain about your day job! Work sucks

 

Model A altered........I like it! The spindle mount wheels have no way to mount brakes that I have ever seen.

 

I second that madman comment. I like the 18's on there too.

 

Holy Hell Aaron, that is blowing my mind. Wow!

 

I am trying to decide if I should put any worn lettering on the doors before then?

What do you guys think??

 

that thing looks like a tank w/ all that bare metal.

awesome

 

I like it! But I think the lights look out of place...

I can't wait to see it race!

Sam.

 

CHRIST. That was my first thought. I love it!

 

very nice...something different.

 

I was lucky to have the car for a few days before the Pamona show...And I have to say that car is STUPID FAST!!! And that was with 3 carbs...I miss that car like it was a Sibling. YOU MY FRIEND ARE A NUT CASE!!!

and thats why i love you.

 

P.S. I agree on the Model A Axle.

 

That car is tits, but the headlights don't look right IMO. Leave em off until it gets dark.

Wow man.. that is awesome.

 

PLEASE NO! Just my worthless opinion, but that's getting to be way overdone these days. Fresh lettering, sure, that's one thing, but please don't artificially weather it!

 

Lettering might be to much, and clutter up the simple badassness of the car!

It rules the way it is!!!

 

Thanks for the opinion on the lettering. You guys are right..

Why try to make it look like something its not. Run it the way it is.

I have enough other things to do.. IT would be too much..

Thanks I can't wait to run it with a set of slicks!!!
Its not going to be that fast I don't think. PLus running in Palmdale is pretty high above sea level!!

Should be fun though. Thanks again for all the comments

 

Unchannel and lose the drop axle/headlights!

 

Insanity!!! Don't change a thing.

 

Looking good Aaron ;-)

 

It looks better than I thought it would! Go man go!

 

No way I would unchannel it. I just as well build another car for that.

I will change the axle when I find one cheap. These are all parts I have collected cheap over the past few years or made for the car. No $1500 ebay mag wheels

This is my car I drive on the Steet. . I have put over 20,000 miles on my coupe in the past couple of years..

I am just making a few quick changes for this summer. . I like being able to change the look of the car.

I had that in mine when I build the car. I can adjust the rear suspension 8"

I can pull the body off and have a complete drivable chassis in less than an hour. I have every part of the car easy to get to and change.

I just wanted to have a little fun and have a different look for this summer. .

Don't want to do a complete different car!! Thats Why I have the roadster project now...

Slicks just came in today!!

Aaron

 

F@CKING SINISTER HOLMES....i want it!

Hey, I just got my 20's powder coated...wait till you see the pics!
