Projects My “ Full Circle” coupe. First car I ever bought at 15 in 1965, and may be the last?

    I had a Tudor with a 302, 4 speed set up , but can’t find the picture.

    It was the “ Voodoo Child”.

    That’s about it kids! Thanks, and sleep tight!

    I always wanted to do skirts with full Moon wheel covers on a 40... I like the screw on, they don't stick out like the others do and look best to me..

    My interior, which I love, was stitched up by a beautiful young lady I met through “MikeL50’s” girlfriend Allie.
    Molly is super talanted and a true artist. We hashed around some ideas and when I mentioned the leopard print, she smiled and said “ that will be cool!” Love that girl!
    So I’m going back to my roots!

    It will be louvered and painted gold.

    Someone suggested I put a third brake light in because the stock lights are low.
    I hate most of them I saw, so made my own from an old Harley liscense plate holder that had chrome “ bullets” on it. I made a stand from threaded rod, covered it with chrome tubing, and hooked the lights up for brakes AND directionals.
    Wrapped in Mardi Gra beads for bling, and done.
