    That coupe was built by my friend Mario if you have any questions I would be more than happy to answer. Also he is looking for a SBC 3x2 setup, ready to bolt on and go and has about a $1,000 to spend.

    How far off the ground is the body?

    Do you have any interior shots ?

    I do not have interior shots and that part is not finished also we measured the clearance and with 22 lbs of air in the tires it sits 3 inches.

    What's he got in it for a rear suspension?
    Gas tank?

    Did he chop it 4" ?

    Plastic tank from speedway and a 38 Ford pickup front spring in the rear, also I believe 4 1/2 chop. What is unique he S shaped the front of the frame coming out of the firewall by pie slicing smoothing and boxing an original model A frame.

    I don't want to be "THAT" guy but here goes.

    I really like this car, BUT.....the 4barrel on huge by huge spacer, and the bug catcher got to go!!!! I know there are a lot of "A" grill fans around here, me not so much, I can tolerate them, as long as they dont have eBay "Hotrod" insignia's attached to them.

    Other than that the car is sick, I do like how he swept the front rails up, very smooth.

    I agree but you have to understand this guy whom is in his 40's, I got him to build his first Hot Rod ever and his roots are from Low Riders and if this is the way the first car is watch out for the next, so pick on all you want but understand this 3 inch clearance car was driven to paso and not piggy backed.

    Oh I wasn't picking on, that was a compliment. I saw your post on looking for 3x2's. That car is sick! Sometimes we do what we have to do to get it on the road to enjoy. Sounds like he's enjoying the car and thats what coounts most. Also plans to change what doesn't fit are in place.

    Please hook us up with pics when he gets the new intake on!
     
  18. YES! YES! YES!

    could someone please find me a close pic of the frame from the firewall forward??

    that is EXACTLY what i wanna do.

    thanks
